  • 5/5 Maximilien L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I witnessed the comment from @ Marie-Claude Lyard, a totally disrespectful person who barely settles in starts to fidget to be served immediately. Only to look all the seams at his meat and see that the thickness was not even, barely a few millimeters. To believe that this person still eats industrial food. Personally, I come regularly to this hippo and I have never been disappointed with the quality especially in terms of the meat. He's got some good and some bad, but I don't like unwarranted comments. It deserves a 5 *. (Original) J’ai été témoin du commentaire de @Marie-Claude Lyard, personne totalement irrespectueuse qui à peine installer commence à s’agiter pour être servi immédiatement. Pour ensuite regarder par toute les coutures sa viande et constater que l’épaisseur n’était pas régulière d’a peine quelques millimètres. À croire que cette personne à toujours manger de l’industriel. Personnellement, je viens régulièrement à cet hippo et je n’ai jamais été déçu de la qualité surtout au niveau de la viande. Il a du bien et du moins bien mais je n’aime pas les commentaires injustifiés. Ça mérite un 5*.

    (Translated by Google) Good meat (fortunately) but fatty accompaniments (chorizo ​​rice, Provencal vegetables). The waiter spilled a lot of sauce on my sister's pants, without apologizing. Pity. (Original) Bonne viande (heureusement) mais accompagnements gras (riz chorizo, légumes à la provençale). Le serveur a renversé plein de sauce sur le pantalon de ma soeur, sans s'excuser. Dommage.

  • 3/5 Katarina G. 2 years ago on Google
    Les plats étaient très bon. La viande avait du goût et était bien cuite. Dommage qu'il n'y ai que 2 desserts fait maison : l'île flottante et la mousse au chocolat

    (Translated by Google) Saturday evening, full service restaurant, we are told a 15min wait. We take our name and we are made to wait 13min ... Perfect timing hat. Very caring staff for customers despite a very busy crowd. Order taken quickly, dishes also delivered quickly. Very very very responsive room staff with always a little attention for customers, very good dishes and all taken out together with a very good mastery of cooking. In short beautiful 1st time, we recommend +++ (Original) Samedi soir, restaurant full service, on nous annonce 15min d'attente. On prends notre nom et on nous fait patienter 13min...

Personnel de salle très très très réactifs avec toujours une petite attention pour les clients, plats très bons et sortis tous ensembles avec une très belle maitrise des cuissons.

  • 2/5 Laurent F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The terrace is nice but overlooks the national road, the half chicken is not sufficiently cooked and once your dish is served, the additional service is long despite a large number of staff, each one his own area and no way to derogate from it. It's a shame, no effort is made for the recovery, we want a simple and family friendly moment (Original) Le terrasse est sympathique mais donne sur la nationale, le demi poulet n'est pas suffisamment cuit et une fois votre plat servi, le service complémentaire est long malgré un grand nombre de personnel, chacun sa zone et pas moyen d'en dérogé. C'est dommage, aucun effort n'est fait pour la reprise, on souhaite un moment conviviale simple et en famille

  • 5/5 Rodrigue N. 3 years ago on Google

What a delight 👍🏿🤗👊🏿☺️ (Original) Cadre bien accueillant, plats très copieux, la viande comme l'entrecôte vous fond à la bouche et la salade très fraîche . Quel délice 👍🏿🤗👊🏿☺️

  • 4/5 cmaanne x. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant, the service was a bit tight. Difficulty obtaining condiments, Liège chocolate instead of the Liège coffee requested. The room is quite noisy but friendly. (Original) Tres beau restaurant, le service était un peu juste. Difficultés à obtenir des condiments, chocolat liégeois en lieu et place du café liégeois demandé. La salle est assez bruyante mais conviviale.

  • 5/5 Diane D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very warm atmosphere. The staff is attentive and smiling. The smell that escapes from the kitchens is simply divine. A wide choice of menus. In some, it is possible to have additional small (baked potatoes, green beans, salad, etc.) at will for the most greedy it's a treat. The dishes are delicious, the perfect meat and we come out satiated. (Original) Ambiance très chaleureuse. Le personnel est à l'écoute et souriant. L'odeur qui s'échappe des cuisines est tout simplement divine. Un large choix de menus. Dans certains, il est possible d'avoir des petits additionnels (pommes de terre au four, haricots verts, salade, etc.) à volonté pour les plus gourmands c'est un régal. Les plats sont délicieux, la viande parfaite et on en sort rassasiés.

    (Translated by Google) It's not haute cuisine, but it's more than enough between two stores. The welcome was perfect especially for the service. Big plus for the very pleasant waiter who loves his job. (Original) C'est pas de la grande cuisine mais ça suffit amplement entre deux magasins. L'accueil a été parfait surtout pour le service.

  • 5/5 Jerry B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Woooooooooow! A sick tuc! By far the best Hippo for me! I never thought I would one day post such a positive and complimentary comment for a channel like Hippo LOL :-) but here friends, we are facing a really special restaurant !!! Top staff, a perfect meal (no fault), good humor and above all SMILE HIM AT EVERY MOMENT !!!! Looks like a big family, we felt like at home! How nice is that ... We came last night (October 3) to celebrate the 18th birthday of one of the family members and it was wonderful ... Impeccable service and especially Thomas olalalalalalala ... a server, frankly without flattery, of a quality worthy of starred restaurants (and once again, I say it without flattery, being a fan of good food)! He has his eyes everywhere, doesn't forget anything, is very responsive and very patient, always has a little attention and all this with great professionalism. We have the impression that he is fully immersed in the atmosphere of the table so that we feel super confident with him and all this while keeping a certain distance anyway ... He understood everything ! In fact to tell the truth, I may try to explain my feelings but I will not succeed ... You just have to come and see for yourself. So BIG BIG UP Thomas from all the family and Lucas who was celebrating his birthday! Thanks to the whole team and to the really lovely manager. Thank you for turning off the lights when dessert arrives and for the Happy Birthday to everyone in the restaurant (with great "applause" and screams at the end). Wow what a moment! I'm too happy that my family was able to experience this ... They needed it and it did them a lot of good ... knowing that before coming they were a little fearful about the Covid situation but in the end reassured , and that as soon as we are taken in charge: social distancing well respected so nickel! So thank you again for everything! PS: Hey Lucas if you read this comment ... Happy birthday again, lots of good things to you ;-) And Biz to the whole family lol ... (Original) Woooooooooow! Un tuc de malade! De loin pour moi le meilleur Hippo! Je ne pensais pas un jour mettre un commentaire aussi positif et élogieux pour une chaine comme hippo LOL :-) mais là les amis, on est face à un resto vraiment à part!!! Un personnel au top, un repas nickel (aucune faute), de la bonne humeur et surtout LE SOURIR A CHAQUE INSTANT!!!! On dirait une grande famille, on se sentait comme à la maison! Qu'est-ce que ça fait plaisir... Nous sommes venues hier soir (le 3 octobre) pour fêter les 18 ans d'un des membres de la famille et c'était magnifique... Un service impeccable et surtout Thomas olalalalalalala... un serveur, franchement sans flatterie, d'une qualité digne des restaurants étoilés (et encore une fois, je le dis sans flatterie, étant un fan de la bonne cuisine)! Il a les yeux partout, n'oublie rien, est très réactif et très patient, a toujours une petite attention et tout ça avec un très grand professionnalisme. On a l'impression qu'il s'imprègne à fond de l'ambiance de la table de telle sorte qu'on se sente super en confiance avec lui et tout ça en gardant une certaine distance quand même... Il a tout compris! En faite pour dire la vérité, j'aurai beau tenter d'expliquer mon ressenti mais je n'y arriverai pas... Il faut tout simplement venir et constater par soi-même. Donc GROS BIG UP Thomas de la part de toute la famille et de Lucas qui fêtait son anniversaire! Merci à toute l'équipe et au manager vraiment adorable. Merci pour l'extinction des lumières lors de l'arrivée du dessert et le Joyeux anniversaire entonné avec tout le monde dans le resto (avec des super "applause" et des cris à la fin). Wow quel moment! Je suis trop content que ma famille ait pu vivre ça... Ils en avaient besoin et ça leur a fait un grand bien... sachant qu'avant de venir ils étaient un peu craintifs par rapport à la situation Covid mais au final rassurés, et çela dès notre prise en charge: distanciation sociale bien respectée donc nickel! Donc encore merci pour tout! PS: Hey Lucas si tu lis ce commentaire... Encore bon anniversaire, plein de bonnes choses à toi ;-) Et Biz à toute la famille lol...

Thomas est charmant, charmeur, courtois, galant, professionnel, c'était royal. Thomas tu chantes très bien (joyeux anniversaire 🤣🤣), et ta manière d'ouvrir les bouteilles de vin est admirable 🎉🎉 , on reviendra mais juste parceque tu es là 🥳🥳 Bravo a vous, votre service est impeccable, votre nourriture est savoureuse, on le conseille.

    (Translated by Google) We are regular customers of this restaurant and we are never disappointed! The quality of the meat is unlike any other restaurant. The waiters are always very welcoming. Small anecdote: a client made us laugh a lot. Indeed, she complained about the irregularity of the freshly cut meat. (Original) Nous sommes des clients réguliers de ce restaurant et nous ne sommes jamais déçus ! La qualité de la viande n’est comparable à aucun autre restaurant. Les serveurs sont toujours très accueillants. Petite anecdote : une cliente nous as enormement fait rire. En effet, elle s’est plaint de l’irrégularité de la viande fraichement découpé.
