Hippopotamus - Noyelles-Godault

My husband and i have been coming here every year around the neginning of december for the past 10 years but im not sure we will be coming here ever again after today. We came here for lunch and ordered french onion soup. Surely a staple here in France especially as the clue is in the name. We got half a bowl of soup at €5.90. It was good but not worth the money. My burger was missing it's bacon and tomato whilst my husband's was under cooked and missing the onions. Surprising as we had waited an hour between the starter and main course. Dinner is even worse although our bowl of soup was full we got the wrong way undercooked steaks and an hour and a half after arriving are still waiting for the recooked ones to appear...... I'm quite hungry now.

This is pretty much the same as most Hippo's around France. The service was very friendly, The meat was tender enough -sides fine (fries and green beans). No surprises here.

This is a group, so this is particulary unpersonnal food. The carte is the same in every restaurant. Nevertheless, the staff is particulary helpfull with clients, the terasse is nice when sunny. Prices a la carte are a bit expensive, but menus are good value for money.

All the ingredients were there! very warm welcome, well maintained service and succulent plate. top

A great time spent with family at the hippopotam of laziness: delicious dishes and an unparalleled service on the menu of this restaurant that remains the favorite of our two little boys!
