Almorcé con un amigo en esta sucursal. La comida estaba bien, menos la hormiga en la mesa, pero era solo una para poder perdonarla. El camarero fue muy amable, pero fue una especie de bofetada - tablero. Nos señaló la mesa, en lugar de llevarnos a ella. . . . Interesante. . . El piso tampoco era el más limpio. Una vez que llegó la comida, el camarero pensó que era una buena idea colocar el recipiente para los condimentos, con las salsas, sal y pimienta, etc. en el piso, ya que no podía molestarse en encontrar un lugar en la mesa. ¡Eso fue lo primero para mí! ! La jirafa normalmente es un buen lugar para comer, pero no volveré corriendo a esta sucursal en Blackheath.

He desayunado en esta jirafa en particular varias veces. El personal es bastante agradable y la zona de asientos del restaurante está limpia y ordenada. La pila de panqueques es lo que mi amigo y yo tendemos a pedir para el desayuno. Las tortitas son tan sabrosas y abundantes, el jarabe complementa las tortitas y no es demasiado dulce. También pedimos huevos revueltos como un lado. Los huevos también son bastante sabrosos. Los baños están en la planta baja, lo que puede ser un poco incómodo también en cada ocasión que visito y uso el baño, hay un olor a pañales sucios que no es muy agradable.

We always dine at Giraffe, Leeds Trinity when in the City, food always excellent. When we dined there yesterday we were pestered by midges, yes in November! They kept appearing after we killed them. My husband queried it with Heinrich the lovely Waiter who said it was an ongoing problem as the Trinity Shopping Centre has major problems with the drainage system and at nighttime they have to block the drains with tissues to stop them coming in! Surely H & S at Leeds City Council should look into this health risk problem as surely other eateries are affected?

It was a last minute decision to have dinner at this restaurant and was first choice for our daughter, as always we were greeted by the friendly staff and shown to our seats by the front door but it is very clear that this restaurant is in need of a deep clean. The fabric covering the chairs and bench seats are very badly stained with dried in food. All the menus we were given were covered in food stains and dried ketchup. Had to return classes and cutlery as they were also dirty. We tried to use the 2 for 1 voucher but found it had not been removed from our bill, took the duty manager a couple of minutes to work that out.

My friend and I visited giraffe on Saturday 20 October. I had a voucher, buy one main course, get one free, which I showed to our waiter when we were seated just to confirm it was valid, which it was. When it came to paying, the voucher code was not applied, and we didn’t notice until the bill had been paid, so we ended up paying the full amount. We told our waiter what had happened and asked for the amount to be refunded. We were told it wasn’t possible as the table had been closed?... the waiter took our details, ie name, phone number and was assured the manager would phone the next day. Today is Wednesday and still no phone call. The food was good as was the service but we are very disappointed by the customer relations. So I would not return...☹️

Didn’t have enough glasses to serve us fizz in flutes, took ages to sort food which came at different times (for a table of two), gave us the bill without us asking (which had mistakes and overcharges on which had to be corrected twice), with really rude service. Such a disappointment. Much better local restaurants within a one minute walk of this place - save yourselves a rubbish night and go to one of those instead.

Even for a chain restaurant this one totally failed this evening. Given the choice in the area, I blame myself for taking the chance on it. Slow, disinterested service and poor food. Salt and pepper squid to start - fresh from a packet in the freezer I guess and not sure where the salt and pepper seasoning went. ‘Ultimate burger’ to follow served in a cold bun straight from the chiller and cold undercooked fries on the side. Avoid.

Poor service, food substandard, and adds gratutity to your bill without informing you. Chav style decor with walls made of builders chipboard painted orange. My seating was on a second level and two seats backed onto an unsafe drop which had no railing. Not a position I would want to have an elderly or disabled customer to take. Just unsafe. Informed the company of the gratutity issue and the need for railing; but, their reply was basically just suck it up - we don't care what a customer thinks. There are too many better restaurants on the same block to attend this place again. As for the food, the restaurant suffers from trying to make a worldly selection, but fails to make it work. Thus, it just ranks to the height of cafeteria food at the hospital- nothing special. The Pizza Express next door does a much better job and does not add gratutity to your bill without telling you..

As the title suggests, this restaurant is in an accessible location in beautiful Blackheath but I'm quiet disappointed by the vegetarian brunch. As is the case with many restaurants in London, vegetarian breakfasts are only marginally cheaper than the full English option, which doesn't make sense considering what you actually get and in the case of this restaurant, what I got wasn't very much. As can be seen in the picture, the vegetarian breakfast was compromised of 2 x TINY slices of avocado and two relatively small mushrooms. The fritters were nice but as can be seen in the picture this breakfast doesn't justify the £9 price tag.

Last time there were no burgers, ribs, fries and chocolate brownies. Other times a similar range of items were missing. The supply chain and ordering process is clearly a problem.

Bit of a shame we only needed something quick as I really liked the look of all the variety on the menu. We opted for the tea time deal of burger and bottomless soda but as we were peckish we ordered some garlic bread to have while we waited. The bread was a flat bread and was very flavourful but not over powering. Just the right amount to share. The staff were very friendly and knew we didn't have time to hang about and were very on the ball. Our burgers were delicious and well presented. I couldn't fine anything to fault. I would like to go back for an evening meal so I could try out the menu better.

I stopped off here with my dad for a drink yesterday. We were told we couldn't sit inside as it was fully booked (it was empty). We waited 15 minutes before someone took our order and another 20 minutes before it arrived. It was a glass of milk and a cup of tea. When it arrived, the glass of milk had green bits on the inside and clearly hadn't been washed properly. I took it inside to show them and asked for the bill as we needed to leave. They apologized about the milk, but when the bill came (another 10 minutes later) it had the milk on it. I told the waitress that we shouldn't have to pay for the milk but she wandering off with the bill and started serving someone else. I asked her for the bill back so we could just pay it and leave, and she snapped at me. Eventually I spoke to the manager and she apologized but it was a horrible experience when all we wanted was a quick drink!

I have been to this particular Giraffe on about 4-5 ocassions. The first few times were perfect I couldn't ask for more. However I recently went twice in one week for two events. On the first ocassion I went with my partner and the food and service was exceptional (see photos). Giraffe does a range of meals from around the world so there's something on the menu for everyone. Unfortunately I went back a few days later with some friends and the food was ok but the service was disappointing. It wasn't the friendly and professional yet amiable experiences I'd previously had. The waitress was blunt, rude, clumsy and not very attentive. The food was mediocre, however as I've had the dish before and enjoyed it, I wasn't sure if the poor experience from the waitress had just put a bitter taste in my mouth. Luckily for me I had previously had positive experiences at Giraffe but if this was my first experience I'd not go back, and so I can understand the negative reviews if they have not had positive experiences here before. The only reason I'll go back is because I'm hoping this most recent trip was just a bad day for them and that they'll be back to their usual great service the next time.

First of all the food was fine, so thank you kitchen staff ! You made this review an average instead of poor.... Unfortunately I cannot say the same about front of house, So obviously very impatient as the ladies browsed and inquired about the cocktails, Side dishes had to be asked for as they were sitting on the pass for a while, and the place wasn't even busy, and then the pavement furniture was dragged in at 9.00pm 3 requests for dessert menu. I know catering staff are not the best paid, but pleasantness costs nothing. I would have withheld the service charge but did not want to cause any embarrassment to our friends that we had invited to this place. So food OK .. Service bad

Not wanting to speak to neighbouring strangers, we quickly asked to be moved.We had the burger, which is deemed as Giraffe's forte.

To finish I was extremely impressed today as I visited with friends and had made the fatal mistake of not booking, I was quite devasted that I was going to have to venture somewhere else when the Manageress on duty informed us that we would be able to sit in five minutes due to a table becoming free.

Just home from a trip to Giraffe. Previous visit had been 12 months ago, when we were not given special menu, had to ask for it, ordered from it, and were half way through drinks when told all items were off and we had to order from full price menu. A bad experience, but 12 months on, tried again. Here's what happened...- A-Boards advertising £15.95 for 3 courses special menu outside, clearly- We weren't given special offer menus (again) when seated, and specifically had to ask - is this a policy, or a Blackheath "policy"? Twice in a row...?- We each ordered starters and mains, tapwater, and a drink- Drink did not arrive and had to be asked for again- Starters came. Still no drink. Asked again.- One main then turned up immediately with starters. Surprise was expressed that we hadn't in fact ordered one main to come with the starters. Sent back. Drink requested for a third time.- Drink arrived. Hooray! More tapwater requested- Mains arrived. Both hot and quite good, actually. No tapwater, requested again.- Water arrived. Were given dessert menus - fine, but again, these were not from the special set menu, but general ones. Interesting...felt like an opportunity to try and charge more.- Declined desserts and asked for bill- Horrified to see that a 12.5% service charge had been added, despite all the issues. However, we were both tired, so decided just to pay, not quibble- Bill paid in full (including unacceptable service charge) by one party on card, who then went to loo- I waited 2 minutes then got up to leave- Waitress came over and tole me there was a problem with the bill, and my friend hadn't paid for all our food!!!- On her screen, she showed me the "order" for our table, which included not only the £35 of food we had ordered, eaten and paid for, but another circa £50 of food nothing to do with us- Clearly the insinuation was that we had left without paying for around £50 of food! How embarrassing and insulting!- Immediately asked for the manager. Did little to help the situation. She acknowledged immediately that the accusation was untrue and the error was down to a member of staff putting other peoples food on our table. - She tried to offer a free dessert, but we both felt annoyed, ashamed and had no desire to stay at this place and wanted to leave- I expressed deep concern and dissatisfaction about being charged for service and asked for this money back. There was a lot of faffing about but no money forthcoming.- We just wanted to end the sorry experience and leave - so we did.I certainly won't ever return, but I'd love to hear a response to these issues from a senior, head office manager at Giraffe. Shocking policy, service, mismanagement, training and customer handling.

Always have good food and friendly service. Bit chilly but was served quickly outside including water for dog. Delicious alternatives to full English.

I had to push back my food as it was not cooked proper and my other half left half of his food despite him being hungry. They are trying to cater many dishes from the Globe but none are done well to be honest. Pricey for what they are. Not many choice of restaurant in Blackheath, so not much conpetition, that is the problem here.

Visited this evening with partner and our child. Bill came to £50 which seemed pretty steep! Burgers were tasty. Children's meal came before our food which was great, gave the little one more time to eat. Staff very attentive and friendly!

We had booked two tables for for 11 but somehow staff ended up with our tables on different levels. Not much use for a family meal. The food was presentable, and the waiters were attentive. We didn't feel rushed or hurried even though it was a busy day.If not for the booking error, I might have given it a 4.

I've always said it's the people that makes or breaks the dining experience. Ricco the Canadian knows what time it is. Will miss him dearly if he ever leaves: we are fans of giraffe and Ricco just keeps us coming back for more. It's a shame the management will probably not take this on board. Great staff make an establishment!

Myself and some friends came here recently for cocktails on a Friday evening. We were served by Rico who was absolutely lovely and made the trip really special. Thank you!

Lots of choice both for the healthy diner or the diner who likes a few treats too! Good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. The staff were also pleasant and helpful.

I must admit I do enjoy the breakfast/brunches at the Giraffe chains. This time round I took some friends for a late Sunday lunch. My heart sank when I saw a restaurant full of family's with young children, I really thought that this was going to ruin our experience. Thankfully I was wrong, and we were treated to a chilled out environment despite the amount of infants running around. The service was friendly and prompt with a twist of cheeky humour. Food was good, not hair raising but certainly worth the value. The fire cracker chicken I thought was the best dish on the menu. In future I think I will stick to the brunch.

Second visit to this great eatery in Blackheath. Service is always top notch, management is on the ball and atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Just feel the menu is too mixed and there is to much pre-prepared food, as I have never felt it is good value! rather cramped as well and there are better places to go in Blackheath!

I booked to take my team here for our Christmas lunch. The process was rather confusing as after booking online I was advised someone would call to take a deposit. After calling myself and emailing on a number of occasions I was finally able to pay this.The table we were given was in direct sunlight which made it impossible for half the table to see. Upon being moved we found the same problem so decided to stay put. Investing in blinds would be a suggestion!Disappointed on arrival the table was in no way decorated for Christmas. On the basis we had paid a deposit and booked the Christmas menu a cracker might have been a festive gesture we would have appreciated.Order given a week previously with specific instructions given for one diner and followed by an email confirming this request but food was not altered to suit and this diner had to wait whilst we almost finished our meal before her's arrived.That said the quirky Christmas menu was tasty and the staff were friendly. The Christmas pudding didn't quite live up to its menu pic but was enjoyable. Given a free coffee to go which was appreciated.Watch for the 12.5% gratuity added onto bill automatically.We would go back but maybe on a regular Saturday for lunch not for a special occasion.

Called in for a quick lunch. Had the meals from the Love Eat Live menu all dishes are priced at £6.95. Food was tasty and the service was good. Hope this is representative of the main menu. Service was equally as good without any long waits.

This being a Monday the restaurant was quite quiet. I had the Mezze Plate to start, followed by the Giraffe Burger for main. Both good. To drink a chardonnay. Well two in fact (I'd had a busy weekend at work!). Service was polite and friendly. Thank you Greta. And to the manager was on the ball and welcomed us when we arrived. Worth a try.

I believe the place is called Madeleine`s (they gave me a card with this name). I had a brioche and a coffee; they were both below average. You would aspect from those interdependent shops to have higher quality of food but unfortunately not. The food and beverages are better in chains like Pret-a-Manger or Starbucks

Ordered caramelised onion tart.was swimming in a caramel like sticky sauce that it had been doused in, it was so sweet- think treacle tart- it was inedible. No refund despite not eating it- basically £16 for a salad. Awful meal awful service.

Food and service were fine, but I had an issue with the bill. I was charged extra, only £1.50, nevertheless extra. I could only put it down to one of the group wanting their egg scrambled, not fried.
