Personally, you can’t go wrong if you spend your Friday evening at Hippocampe! They have the best buffet (value for money) in Brazza. It is well lit, good service and the most important value of any restaurant- serve the best food.

The manager of the Hippocampe has recently changed and the owner, Olivier, is committed to restoring the friendly service and great food that they are known for, while lowering prices as well. Their Asian cuisine is amazing, as it should be with the Vietnamese heritage of the owners. The nem bum is really delicious. The restaurant has also recently been remodeled and the covered outdoor seating (with ceiling fans, but we usually put bug spray on our ankles beforehand!) is spacious and airy and beautiful, with bamboo “walls” and white lights. The establishment also has a hotel that is recommended. The environs are clean and well-maintained with clean, running well-water. The Hippocampe is also a very popular spot for adventurer travelers, and it’s common to see outfitted Land Cruisers or Land Rovers or even cross-country motorcycles parked as the intrepid travelers take a break or wait for visas on their cross-continental voyage! So it’s likely you could hear some amazing stories and have good conversation if you’re the curious or social type! We live in the “bush” of Congo, and the Hippocampe has been a favorite spot to eat when we visit the capital, for 20 years! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Now turned into an Italian restaurant, prices have increased so not the same value as before. Food only ok now for the price.

(Translated by Google) It was better before ... But the hotel is nice. (Original) C'était mieux avant... Mais l'hôtel reste sympa.

We had a very enjoyable lunch. It was quite relaxed with quality service.

I loved this place. My ratings for Congo are considering the atmosphere these restaurants are competing in. I would not give it 5 stars if this was located in Paris or anything like that, but for this area, I think it's a solid choice and the cats help keep the food fresher than other places I assume. The food and pho are legit.

(Translated by Google) The service was very friendly and courteous, tasted great, the food was well prepared and nicely presented, hotel room very clean. (Original) Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommen , Hat super geschmeckt , Das Essen war gut zubereitet und nett angerichtet , Hotel zimmer sehr Sauber .

Pleasant people, decent restaurant.

Very nice place and reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in Brazzaville. They serve both western and African food with Asian features. I loved the Bo Bun. It was simple, fresh, and yet very tasty.

Visit Hippocampe on a Friday after 6pm, for a buffet you wont regret! CFA10 000 you will leave with a full tummy! Also nice for lunch, friendly staff!

Nice place. They serve one of the best Cantonese rice

Super bon!

I'm rating this, assuming it's the same Spanish restaurant I visited in Kinshasa... fingers and toes crossed 😁 So, good ambience. Really good customer service. You might want to go to the restaurant early as they close at 10 PM... so yep. I didn't like the cheese balls because blue cheese=bleh?! Overall, fairly priced for some good sangria and live personal cooking when you order meat 😉 they don't mind changing the volcanic stones either!

Love this place. Great food.

Really nice place. Great & good value buffet Friday and Saturday night. Owner and staff friendly with lots of detail to attention.

Pendant open international

Always a great time here.

Very good food. Occasional dance and music events to cheer the customers.

On Friday they have a buffet that's real good and pretty cheap. Lots of beef and chicken on a big grill, also vegetables and pasta too. Food seemed Lebanese/Egyptian inspired

(Translated by Google) The tomato salad was good, but it's very expensive for vegetables here that are frozen ...
