About

Hippopotamus — the flagship steakhouse of the French chain—offers an experience that blends classic French cuisine with a contemporary, family‑friendly ambience. Since 1968, the restaurant has perfected the art of cooking beef on the grill and braising each cut to unlock its natural tenderness and rich flavours. Every dish can be paired with a curated list of French wines, creating a complete culinary journey at the table. The venue is designed to welcome guests of all ages. Children can enjoy a dedicated play area, a special menu, and interactive kitchen tours, while adults appreciate the warm, relaxed decor and the efficient service of a team that values both quality and hospitality. Sustainability is deeply woven into the food philosophy—producers are selected for their commitment to animal welfare, local sourcing, and reduced waste. Whether it’s a casual lunch, an intimate dinner for two, or a gathering with friends and family, Hippopotamus provides a memorable, comforting setting that highlights French culinary heritage with a modern twist.
