Hippo - Pessac

This is the worst place I have been before, if you choose for a steak, you really can see the Pirineus in Spain through the steak, it’s really tiny. The tender was so fast and she didn’t had the time to give the correct information about the food. Fast food service with high prices to think like 5 stars restaurant

As it was our first night and we arrived late a local quick meal was in order. A simple burger and grilled chicken with fries, a glass of beer and small glass of (local) red wine set us back £55+ I wouldn't mind but it wasn't a gourmet burger nor was the wine a grand cru classé, so how they justify their prices is beyond me for average, small portioned meals. Would not recommend or return

Mussels was good rest of the food average service not good at all we asked for bread never arrived asked for the bill never arrived needed to go to look for someone to pay....

Ate here on the evening of 24th February with my wife. The flank steak was OK (not as good as I have had in the USA) but edible. The profiterole desert is definitely recommended (see photo). The service was very good and our waitress spoke some English which was helpful.

We called in at Hippopotamus for dinner on our first evening in Bordeaux, nice place, clean food and good service levels, thanks
