L'Hippocampe sur Vichy

Smiling welcome. The cuisine was truly delicious Lobster menu in all its forms. The service was very good. We had a pleasant evening.

Very good cuisine, good fresh produce, unbeatable value for money. Victim of their success, you have to remember to book!

Pour nous amateurs de poissons et autres crustacés et coquillages...l'Hippocampe semblait l'endroit rêvé dans une semaine à Vichy ....sachant qu'ile étaient en vacances la semaine d'avant j'avais réservé 10 jours auparavant pour l'unique soir...le mardi 13 aout ou nous allions nous croiser....!! grande était l'attente ...grande fut la deception...!!! une salle petite et en longueur au bout de nulle part...un soir de pluie après une semaine de canicule... des tables trop serrées et trop petites surtout pour multiplier le nombre de convives...!!! adieu les normes de sécurité et de bien être tout simplement...nous avions demandé le *menu homard*..pour ce chef Breton exilé à Vichy il y a bien longtemps maintenant...sa fille n'est plus en salle...elle est en cuisines avec papa...le service strictement féminin à trois tètes n'est pas franchement convaincant...plats jetés plus que posés sur la table sans commentaire...sans explication...rien...ni service de l'eau...ni service du vin...rien..il n'y a d'ailleurs pas de sommelier là bas...??? ..le plat signature du chef le homard est bien cuit...c'est la moindre des choses...mais la déclinaison en 4 étapes est plus fastidieuse que gouteuse...rythme un peu lent...retour de vacances...addition très(trop ?) élevée....résultat décevant en sortant... dommage !!! on en attendait beaucoup mieux !!! ...

Excellent ! The quality and freshness of the products, the quality of the cuisine - the light sauce accompanying the lobster is to die for - The quality of the service. Consistency and regularity of the dishes, with a very good quality/price ratio. Well done ! I recommend

Very good restaurant, refined cuisine, very tasty, it was the first time we ate here, we will come back with great pleasure

Great food, I can easly say its the best seafood restaurant in Vichy.

The dish of the day is a delight, the fish is tender with a slight firmness. And the desert blown with grand marnier. It's to roll around on the floor... thank you for treating us. Drunk

I was waiting, to give my opinion on the Hippocampe, until the chef had stopped being in love and his dishes had found the balance between tasteless and too salty. Today it's perfect. And it is even more so since we can compare the value for money with Marlène's setting. Which, to stay within the notion of balance, did not know how to situate itself: what is this story of "bistronomy"? We are in a bistro or a restaurant, not in a bistro charging the prices of a star chef! But back to the Hippocampus. At the top of the menu, we chose a trip “around lobster” accompanied, as at Marlène, with a Condrieux that is largely as good but half the price. Within a few euros, we are therefore in the same price zone apart from Condrieux. On the other hand, both in terms of service and especially on the plate, we change the world! I would even go so far as to suggest that we find the emotion of the Rotonde, at the time when Marlène excelled in public relations in the dining room, while the talented second in command worked in the kitchen. Everything is delicious, inventive and (let's not shy away from the comparison) the opposite of minimalist: at the end of the meal, each guest was entitled, in various forms, to a whole lobster to taste. In summary, after a little slack due to the change of owner, the Hippocampe has once again become a very good address to advise against to your enemies... But hey, if you don't hate them too much, send them to Marlène: the punishment will be light, and apart from their bank card which will be a bit of a pain given the quality/price ratio, almost painless. Good tasting

The chef is remarkably talented... Impeccable service...; The first menus allow all budgets to afford a high quality meal (origin of fish specified on the site). Concerning the environment: Constant hubbub as soon as the room is full, tables close to each other...

Excellent dîner entre amis. Cuisine très raffinée. Service très agréable. Personnel à l’écoute. Je recommande cette adresse…pensez à visiter Vichy. Ville magnifique.
