Giraffe Burger is located on James Street, an area which can be a bit hit and miss for restaurants with plenty of Tourist Traps. The laid back joint is part of the Giraffe family who have outlets across London, including the Soho joint which is a little snazzier than the rest.
Giraffe burgers serve exactly that, burgers with three options to choose from; Beef, Turkey or Chicken – great for those watching their waists! There are then various concoctions, from the LA Burger to the Rodeo. If you don’t fancy a burger, there are other options including Hot Dogs, Salads and sides.
We tried the Cobb Burger with beef patty, a thick burger topped with crumbled blue cheese, avocado, crispy bacon and house salsa. The burgers are served in a brown bun which is actually quite rare but we’d champion it any day. Unlike most burgers, Giraffe’s are pretty lean and won’t leave you in a food coma which means there great for a quick lunch or early dinner.
We also tried the New York All Beef Hot Dog which was a pretty big dog topped with sweet and sour onions, the sweet potato fries, a nice change from your usual french fries and a chocolate shake which wasn’t as thick as we’d hoped but rich and chocolatey!
If you’re looking for a bite to eat with the boyfriend who’s wanting a burger, whilst you’re on a diet Giraffe Burgers is the answer. There’s a burger for everyone…
