Hippopotamus Gières sur Gieres

A warm welcome and excellent quality food. Fast service for families and groups.

Excellent service, fast and friendly. Attentive and very professional waiter.

A very pleasant place with nice decor. Generally, the welcome and service are very good. However, that particular day was less so. There was no one at reception when we arrived, and we waited several minutes. I had requested a quieter table. Unfortunately, this wasn't taken into account. It's okay, but it's a shame. And in the end, they offered us a table next to two large groups. So much for peace and quiet! While we had ordered an aperitif and a main course, the waitress only wanted to order the aperitif. Okay, fine. She came to take our main course order just as we were raising our glasses. Not ideal timing for us. The meal was fine, although we had to ask again for the wine, which was included in the menu. The dessert service was very pleasant, thank you! At the end of the meal, I paid online directly at the table. I received confirmation from my bank. Okay, we got up. The waitress, still quite stressed, caught up with me in the middle of the room: "You haven't paid!!" Okay, first experience of looking like I was leaving without paying. Thank you, that was very unpleasant. The procedure hadn't worked. I tried again and it was fine. For future orders, I suggest you give instructions directly to the waiters at the beginning of the order so they can specify what needs to appear on the screen for it to be successful. Anyway. All this for a €100 bill, I must admit, not great that evening. What a shame.

Excellent experience, top-notch servers! And the meat was superb 😁

Pleasant setting, welcoming and professional staff. Varied menu and very good food.

Online booking was perfect and quick. We had a good meal with no long wait. We received a very warm welcome at the entrance.

A fantastic welcome from the moment we arrived, with a special mention for Mariam, Laura, and Jatim who always had a kind word. No waiting for service. Don't hesitate!

Warm welcome, good meal. The only downside was the service, which was a bit disorganized and confusing. The glass of wine we ordered to accompany the meat arrived almost at the end, even though we stopped eating to wait for it. We also ordered pepper sauce, which arrived very late... The waiter was constantly on the go, running around while still smiling, poor guy... Just a lack of staff, in my opinion.

A very warm welcome, the restaurant has been renovated. The portions are much better... well done!

Fantastic restaurant! The team is amazing, both in the kitchen and the dining room. They go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time. My husband's birthday went perfectly from start to finish. Thank you again to the entire team!
