Hippopotamus Belle Epine sur Thiais

Where did we start... We had dinner on the evening of April 3 with my partner. Kevin gave us a delicious time. He is professional, warm; funny, pleasant and anticipate our needs. It is present without being stuffy. The meal was very good. We just want to come back and be served by Kevin. Top service sincerely.

Lunch Friday, arrival around 1 p.m., restaurant almost full, no snacking on the tables, we are told there will be a wait for the fries, ok. A good forty minutes later, the dishes arrive: my angus steak is rare, as requested, on the other hand, my husband's ground beef, requested medium rare, is completely burnt. No worries, they change it for us, leaving Mr. his fries while I eat my steak (which will get cold otherwise). His steak (still a bit burnt but at least edible) finally arrives, too bad, I finished eating. These are things that happen, of course, but a gesture would have been appreciated, whether it was a reduction on the bill or, at least, the dish served with another portion of fries, or a free dessert offer... Too bad .

I have eaten at this restaurant several times and the dishes never disappoint. I was very well received by Ms. Lysa and Mr. Konaté, very friendly. Good luck to them! I recommend this restaurant!

Thank you incredible keep it up you are the bosses Lisa and konate

It was very good and we were served quite quickly. Thanks to Lisa Konaté for the service ❤️

Thanks to Céliane and Djibril for the welcome!

Good service with Lysa Konate. Listening to our requests. THANKS.

Thanks to Princia and Diadie for their responsiveness and kindness, there is not much to complain about the service. I had the “Hot Goat Crisps” as a starter, which are more like “Goat Samosas”, unfortunately there is more salad than crisps on the plate, and the latter were a bit overcooked and charred , it's still good but a bit too expensive. I don’t remember the name but I also had the black brioche bun burger, which actually was really excellent, a treat in the mouth. But there are too few fries that come with it, and without any sauce? None was offered to us in any case. The person with me took a piece of beef, which was apparently full of nerves. Around €35 ​​for a starter, a main course and a drink, it's still too expensive when the quality and quantity are not there. What can we say about the restaurant's policy, which asks its servers to suggest that customers leave a review honoring them, and those who have the most positive reviews at the end of the month will have a bonus on their salary... I don't find this very ethical, and it influences the customer to leave a positive review to help the servers, which compromises the integrity of the reviews and does not necessarily truly represent the quality of the restaurant itself. It’s still correct, but watch out for the “GPT Chat” reviews that are floating around…

Thanks to Lisa Konate for her wonderful welcome!

Lisa and konaté 👌👌 very good service
