Hippopotamus - Paris 9e Arrondissement

The food was certainly not worth the money! very bad dishes and the meat was really uncooked! When the waiter asked me about eating and I told him the problem, he never gives me a solution. the atmosphere and the location...was beautiful!

To say nothing, good meat. about the service, but it rained and shortly after eating the waiter approached me and told me that because of the bad weather he needed a free table, a table that was outside. even if covered. I get up and not to get wet, I wait under the restaurant brand until the storm passed. throughout the time I stood there, 20 minutes, no one sat at my table!

Great steak in Paris, very friendly staff, our waitress Helene was very attentive and helpful. Cooked very well and great location.

After the horrible experience at Place de la Republique, decided to give this one a chance. Well... that was a miserable fail. We were seated, and immediately a server came over to take our drink order. Flat water for me, sparkling water for my friend... small or large bottle. Large, thanks. And, within minute, the sparkling water was at the table. The woman (later found out, she is the manager had forgotten to request the flat water. Some minutes later, having asked another person, it was received. A virgin hippo drink was ordered. I 'll have the.... and the woman (manager! walked away. I did get the pińa colada. It ended tasting like sunscreen what I imagine coconut sunscreen oil to taste like at least. My friend said his hippo drink tasted like Windex. I ordered a steak. What temperature... medium to medium well (they have pictures, I pointed! . What was served was medium raw. I sent it back, and what they sent out now my friend 's done eating was raw. As my brother would say, a good vet could have it on it 's feet in minutes. When I said the steak was moo 'ing at me, the woman scoffed. I walked to the front with raw steak, and was told the woman that initially took my drink order was the manager!! I got the menu, and pointed again. They have 4 pictures from raw to well; I said here, between these 2 (medium, and well . Several minutes later, they brought my steak I swear it was my original steak, not medium well!! Is this ok? It 's fine 3 times and you cannot get it right!! I ate about 1/3 of the steak, along the edges. (Picture of medium well is attached way, way, way too **** to be medium well. When the bill came, I was like... oh no. I pointed at my steak, and waved my hand you can take that off. The server consulted the manager, and the bill was reduced. On a good note, the restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays.

Great for lunch basic tables, not too comfy not too bad. Menu is simple with classic creations like chateaubriand and entrecôte steaks. Their deals are worth it with classic aptzrs to amazing deserts (the best profiterole with chestnut cream!
