Restaurant Review: Giraffe (Gluten Free) lunch, Brunswick Centre ...
menu food
At Giraffe ( on request, they presented me with a Gluten Free Options menu card.
“It does what it says on the tin” and is a slimmed version of the full menu.
A quick comparison with the regular menu and the usual suspects are (literally and) unfortunately off the menu for me and allergy sufferers.
A great tasty salad which was a good GLUTEN FREE main course.
On the website they also offer a PDF with a grid of their dishes highlighting the following allergies: seeds and kernels, peanuts, nuts, dairy, egg, garlic, celery, GLUTEN, vegetarian, vegan.

location food drinks staff menu
We were given good bread with some deliciously green and peppery olive oil, direct from the Sicilian family farm of one of the people working in Lorne, as we consulted the menu, which offers five choices for each of three courses, and the wine list, altogether more enticing reading.
The menu doesn’t match up — as is often the case with Modern British — meaning heritage ingredients have been hopefully assembled rather than compellingly fused, connotation and visual appeal mattering more than substance.
It had, however, an intensely fungal flavour, going well with the bird, a fatty slice of black pudding, and the trophy ingredient, soft-cooked Catalan green onions (festively eaten there barbecued and dipped into romesco sauce, but now a fanciful adornment to on point menus here, despite not having much over a mature spring onion or infant leek, treated the same way).
The short rib beef, pear, cavolo nero, onion vinaigrette (£22) reproduced the mushiness of the terrine, long braising having softened the meat, despite it being still on the bone, to the point where it had critically lost texture and flavour, as if the chef didn’t dare offer anything more challengingly carnivorous, while the salty cavolo nero, diced fruit and pickly but soft onion seemed another rehearsal of the same taste combination.
Yorkshire curd tart, builders’ tea ice cream (£7) could have been served as a plate-sized summary of all that’s dodgy about Modern British cooking: a dry slice of cake not transfigured by its echt origins, plus an ice-cream — clearly meant as a folksy but also knowingly postmodern take on exotic tea-flavoured ices — which tasted odd without being nice.
