Giraffe

Solihull residents, families and visitors now have a world of cuisines on their doorstep thanks to the arrival of global restaurant, Giraffe in the Touchwood shopping centre. Whether you’re catching up with friends for a quick coffee, looking for a long leisurely breakfast, a three-course meal with the family or a romantic dinner for two, Giraffe is the ideal destination.

Warm and welcoming, the latest addition to Touchwood’s shopping scene Giraffe in Solihull is the perfect place to refuel after a shopping splurge. Taking a culinary tour across the globe, Giraffe’s reasonably priced menu reads like a guide to the world’s favourite foods. Carefully crafted from the freshest ingredients sourced from favoured suppliers, there’s something to suit every taste and challenge the adventurous to try something new.

Kick-start the day with a breakfast worth getting out of bed for such as organic porridge topped with honey, sunflower seeds, strawberries and bananas; a granola sundae brimming with fresh fruit; or spicy huevos rancheros. For lunch or dinner delve into a combination of nibbles, snacks, starters and mains. Highlights include crisp fried tiger prawns with sweet chilli dip; farmers’ market vegetable burrito; handmade beef and Abbot Ale pie served with mash and gravy; or healthy winter salad.

Deliciously tempting desserts include milky double bubble chocolate cheesecake with warm chocolate sauce; a chunky apple crumble with a nutty, oatty topping and winter berries or a decadent, gooey chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, which is all the better when shared with a friend.

Just like the menu, the wine list is international with every bottle available by the glass. Cocktails make their mark with a combination of old school classics such as a retro piña colada and more contemporary innovations including vanilla breeze – vanilla vodka, Bombay Sapphire gin, passion fruit and pineapple.

Little ones are loved just as much as grown ups and have their very own menu complete with puzzles and games to keep them entertained. Sit back and relax as they tuck into a host of healthy, fresh dishes such as cottage pie with broccoli; grilled chicken burger or a mini brunch with sausage, eggs, Heinz beans and toast.
