"Chain restaurant specializing in beef related food items. Burgers looked good and in the past at other Hippopotamus restaurants have been very tasty.This time went for Entrecote steak €18 with Roquefort Sauce, French fries and green beans. Found the steak to be quite gristly and so was a bit of a disappointment and had it been a UK restaurant I would have had the chance to complain about the quality as about 25% to 30% of the steak was inedible and had to be cut out and discarded. In hindsight should have stuck to burger or paid more for a better cut of steak.Desert was I chose one of my favorites - Creme Brulee, This was also just ok and probably as I expected for a chain restaurant."

Prompt service, reasonable prices and decent portions of freshly cooked food. The food was unspectacular but kind of met expectations

We stayed in the Holiday in hotel, just in front, and took our dinner here. Steak, French Fries and salad, tasty, juicy and tender. 4/5

the flesh we had was terrible. we showed the manager and told him that the meat was very bad. unfortunately he said, but no refund had to be paid for 2 faux filet the full € 49.80. just a scandal!

this restaurant is a chain. so know what they can expect too many people for too many waiters. standard food. but still eating was better than expected. they have beautiful Bordeaux wines on the menu there is a better rating than expected

Ate here on the evening of 24th February with my wife. The flank steak was OK (not as good as I have had in the USA) but edible. The profiterole desert is definitely recommended (see photo). The service was very good and our waitress spoke...some English which was helpful.

Very good service from the busy waitress who was very accommodating and informative. The food was a little bland and unimaginative. My wife who is vegan had little choices from the menu and just made up her own dishes which takes away from the dining experience. Good selection of beers and cocktails at ok prices. It started to get busy after we finished dessert roughly 8pm

We were staying at the nearby Premiere Classe hotel and decided to eat here. It was a good meal from the 'formule' menu - main course and desert. The staff were very good and welcoming, without being overbearing, especially a young man who I think was called Adam.Being the formule menu there was not an extensive choice but my wife and I both had something that we enjoyed. We have not used Hippopotamus restaurants before when in France but will probably do so again next time.

We stayed in a hotel nearby and walked over to this area. There were 4 restaurants to choose from. We chose Hippopotamus...it was a good choice. We entered about 2045, were greeted rapidly and a table for 2 was found. The restaurant was packed. We...ordered and had a Hippo Alcohol, 2 steak Hache Oeuf and a banana split for dessert. Our waiter (Brian) was very attentive, even as busy as he was. Food reminded us of a stateside steakhouse, it was a good meal and service was very good.

We were staying in the Holiday Inn next door, and their restaurant was shut so we were directed to this restaurant. We had been driving all day and were very hungry and looking forward to a nice meal, so were somewhat disappointed to go to a "chain" restaurant....however, we didn't need to be. We had an excellent meal and plenty of it! The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. We were very pleasantly surprised. The service was quick, attentive and friendly. It was a Sunday night and quiet in the restaurant....might have been a different experience on another night. Turned out to be just what we needed!!! Great.
