new addition to Edinburgh Airport’s food and beverage offering has just opened. Giraffe provides an extensive all-day menu, serving up beloved international cuisine, from Asian street food to classic American burgers. The restaurant is located in the departure lounge in the former Barburrito unit and provides 179 covers.
The project - designed by Harrison - involved the complete strip-out of the former Barburrito along with the neighbouring WH Smith bookshop. Giraffe was then fitted out in accordance with brand requirements. Scope of works included partitions and ceilings, flooring, MEP installation, bar front, kitchen, servery along with bespoke joinery items. This included ceiling rafts, bar and servery units. Several items were also refurbished and repurposed from existing restaurants such as planters and waiter stations.
Giraffe is part of our ongoing work with client TRGC which operates a range of leading food and beverage brands across travel hubs and the High Street.
