Giraffe is delighted to announce the opening of a second restaurant cafe at 6-8 Blandford Street, London WlH 3HA, on Monday 28th June 1999.

The original Giraffe, situated on the trendy Hampstead High Street, was opened by Russel and Juliette Joffe, together with Andrew Jacobs, following the sale of the Joffe's phenomenally successful Cafe Flo chain. Having brought the French Bistro to the London high street, Giraffe now plans to do the same with global food and world-music.

The menu draws inspiration from all over the globe, with the accent on healthy eating. Customers can feast upon a wide variety of delicious dishes, from Stacked Banana & Blueberry Pancakes, through Goats Cheese, Marinated Pepper & Zucchini Quesadilla; to Wok Fired (fried?) Noodles with Peashoots, Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, Scallion & Wild Garlic Leaf. Giraffe also offers a varied selection of raw fresh juices such as Jamming Giraffe or for those who want a little more kick, Orange Margarita.

Giraffe opens at 8am on weekdays, 9am at the weekend and doesn't close until 11.OOpm. Meals are unstructured and clients are encouraged to have as much or as little as they would like from grazers to guzzlers, whilst the promise of value for money means a meal for as little as œ10.

The restaurant's African iroko wood interior is lined with benches for an informal family feel. Bright cushions and posters - all with the signature giraffe motif complement the decor. World-music plays in the background enhancing the global ambience.
