Hippopotamus
About
Nestled in the lively commercial zone of La Vigie in Ostwald, Hippopotamus Strasbourg offers a quintessential French steakhouse experience that marries classic grill traditions with modern comforts. The menu showcases the finest French beef, hand‑selected from trusted local suppliers, and cooked to perfection over an open‑air embers grill – a method that imparts a distinctive smoky flavor and unrivaled tenderness. From ribeye and tenderloin to seasoned burgers and crispy French fries, each dish is crafted with care, accompanied by house‑made sauces and an evolving seasonal selection of wines that complement the robust meat profiles. Beyond the culinary delights, Hippopotamus prides itself on its welcoming family‑friendly ambiance. Dedicated kids’ menus, playful “Popotin” themed goodies, and a thoughtfully designed play area ensure that younger guests feel at home. Whether you’re dining with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving a hearty meal in a convivial setting, the restaurant offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere that captures the spirit of French hospitality.
