Did you know that giraffes
have the largest hearts of any land mammals? Cool fact!
And that is why the owners named
their chain restaurants ‘Giraffe’ and I have eaten my 2-course dinner there.

Wist u dat de giraffe het grootste
hart van alle landzoogdieren heeft? Coole feit!
En dit is waarom de
eigenaren hun keten van restaurants naar 'Giraffe' vernoemde en waar ik mijn
2-gangen diner naar binnen hebt gewerkt.
Londen is vrij prijzig naar
mijn mening maar wil nog steeds goed eten zonder al te veel te betalen en zo
biedt Giraffe de mogelijke oplossing. Vooral nadat ik het ‘Feel Good Menu’
hebt gespot: een voorgerecht en hoofdgerecht voor £10,95. Best ok nietwaar?
Vriend W. waarschuwde me al
over de grove onbeleefde stadshouding van London maar om eerlijk te zijn heb
ik niet één keer een situatie meegemaakt waar mensen onbeleefd waren tegen me.
Misschien heeft het te maken met mijn toeristische uitstraling en wellicht mijn
korte verblijf in Londen waardoor ik geen kans kreeg om de mogelijke rotte
appels te ontdekken.
Giraffe was zeker een goede
keuze geweest en kreeg een warm welkom van een jonge vriendelijke
serveerster. Binnen zag het er rustig en stil uit en was opgelucht en blij om
te weten dat ik mijn diner in mijn eentje op mijn gemak kon opeten.
Dus nogmaals, het is
vanwege hun Feel Good Menu die mij overhaalde. Scroll naar beneden om te zien
wat ik had besteld en lees het oordeel!

my feel good menu:
1 daily soup
1 salmon & smoked haddock fishcake
1 Moroccan mint tea
Moroccan mint tea served in a Japanese tea pot, unusual :P but nonetheless it was nice and refreshing!
Sauces! I love the many choice and the fact that it's free! I sound odd but I'm from Holland and we don't do free sauces...
So I've picked their daily soup which I think it's pumpkin soup and I don't mind because I love pumpkin soup! But I think the 2 toasted garlic focaccia were the highlight of this dish!After I finished my starter, a somewhat 15 minute later came my main dish: the 'salmon and smoked haddock fishcake' with chips and tartar sauce. Once I squeezed the lemon I dig in and boy, the fishcake was yummy! It had a subtle smoked taste which I like and I thought the HP sauce was a better match than the tarter sauce (it was ok). The chips was also very nice because it was seasoned c:

That's great that they offer the "feel good" menu! Pretty reasonable for a drink, appetizer, and an entree!

That fishcake looks seriously good! Yummerz
ReplyDeleteI love Giraffe! I have one in my town and they do the best cocktails and nachos there. There's not much in the way of beer I don't as my boyfriend wasn't too impressed with the drinks available, but the food is the best! x

Oh that's good to know that you made sure your short trip was filled with all good things! Yes, I've heard a lot about London being a place where stinky attitudes are common but having a friend there to travel around with definitely helps! Your meal looked great! And that price was definitely a great deal for London! I love fish and fish cakes like that but haven't had one in sooo long! I really need to make some at home! The bread with the soup also looked amazing! Loved my baked bread! :p
ReplyDeleteOOOH MY *O* that looks delicious! If I get the chance, I'll visit the place :D
