Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill (Closed)

For more reviews, visit www.umakemehungry.comHaving tried Hippopotamus during my trip to Paris years back, I decided to revisit the Hippo themed restaurant in Singapore. They are owned by a France based company and has strong reputation in Paris region, known for their wide range of Beef Steak Cuts.The ambience is contemporary and relaxing, added with a friendly services from their staff, suitable for gatherings and even a favourite meeting place for meals.Complimentary starters like bread and p

Hippo used to be one of dining places we frequent, for the service, price, portion and not forgetting the free flow chips & bread! However, our recent visit left us rather disappointed. Not only were the chips & bread gone, service and food quality were equally going downhill too Beef Carpaccio ($6.90++)Pretty average beef carpaccio that was a tad too oily and rather tasteless. Even though the price seemed reasonable for the portion, it’s not really recommended.Tenderloin ($28.90++)The tenderloi

Hippopotamus has been around in the basement of Marina Square for as long as I can remember - way before the overhaul of Suntect City or the development of the Dining Edition. This restaurant of Parisian roots developed their range of meats and prides themselves on offering one of the most affordable steaks in Singapore. I supposed that they recently revamped their menu due to the stiff competition they face in the region with so many exciting dining options around. Let's take a look at some of

Hippopotamus is a chic casual dining outlet that serves up great value set lunches & dinners! Snuggly located at the basement of Marina Square, we fell in love with diners' heaven at first bite. Sirloin Steak Set Lunch ($15.90++)At only $15.90++, this was a real steal! The steak was meticulously prepared and grilled to perfection. The chewy and succulent texture of the medium-rare steak was a joy to savour. The potato gratin was a mouth-watering side not to be missed. The rich cheesy texture ato

From the decor to the menu and even the wet tissue packaging are all Hippos! So cute!Squid Sticks - $8.90Ooh.. I liked this! It dun tasted like the normal calamari, instead the texture tasted like chicken meat! How amazing. The chewiness sure got our jaws warmed up to prepare for the rest of the dishes. The next plus point ~ it came with nacho dipping! ^_^ French Onion Soup - $8.90I heard from a friend that french onion soup is good and it was a pity that I didn't try it when I was in Paris. So

Had been meaning to try out Hippopotamus for the longest time, after reading about and seeing an outlet in Paris a couple of years back. And so we dropped by for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. Apparently the eatery's selling point is its wide range of beef cuts at affordable prices. Honestly, I am not too hung up on the variety of cuts because I am not picky but I do like the sound of affordable. Because the restaurant is located along a rather quiet stretch on the ground floor of Marina

Eat like a hippo in hippopotamus ! We gulp down the following Soup of the day was minestrone, clear light soup packed with vegetable power. Mini Skewers, well marinated chicken thigh bits served with sweet and tangy thai chili. Tantalizing well done Sirloin Steak was tender and juicy, tasted even better with their special Bearnaise sauces. Crunchy green bean, baked creamy and delicious potato gratin; hot baked whole potato with sour cream was alright; appertizing ratatouille has great aroma and

First time trying out this Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill, the crowd there was still acceptable. Their menu is limited while they specialize in steaks and beef. Mains come with a choice of 2 side dishes (Fries, Potato Gratin, Green Beans etc) and 1 accompanying sauce (BBQ, Bearnaise, Homemade Thai Chili etc). Ordered the rack of lamb was impressive of the looks and taste. cooked to the right tenderness. It's juicy and goes well with the sides (French Fries, Potato Gratin, Green Beans, Baked Potat

Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill 6 Raffles Boulevard, #01-204/205 Marine Square s039594Contact : 63385352Open from 11 am - 10.30 pm Daily Here are some of my recommendations : Beef skewer Is actually the different part of the Cow ! ( I don't know what is the correct word to use ) ! The taste of the different part of the cow is super yummy , except the part where the plate is kinda of full of blood which i don't really like it , other than that, is yummy ! I will give Beef Skewer a 5/5 ! MUST TRY !

The only thing I can recommend here is the home-made potato chips which they provide as an appetizer. They are lightly salted and are well fried. Unfortunately, I can’t say otherwise for their steaks. The ribeye that I had was simply not flavourful and the accompanying béarnaise sauce was unpalatable. This was the same for my friend’s sirloin as well. As for their desserts, the sticky date pudding was far too sweet.

One of France’s most famous steak places (which was born in Paris in 1968), Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill, now occupies a cosy and casual space on the first level of Marina Square. Just like its 130 plus outlets in its native country, its first restaurant in Singapore offers you a myriad of steaks, classic French appetisers, sauces and sides suited for every foodie! To add on to these signatures, Hippopotamus has also introduced new items to its current menu. Your trip to Hippopotamus won’t real

When you're at Hippopotamus, you know you're in for a carnivorous night. Their speciality is steak steak steak. Well, you do get to order some greens for your sides or salad but, why would you want to at a place that specializes in meat?This is the Beef Carpaccio with Goat Cheese. Okay I admit I was being geh kiang (act smart) here when I ordered Goat Cheese but have never tried any before. It STINKS! I like to eat mutton and all, but the cheese was infused with this wild goat smell that I could

Hippo is one of the places when I have craving for steak. Reason being, it is one of the places that has affordable and nice steak. Hippopotamus have many wide selection of steaks from Sirloin to Tenderloin and even Rib-eye Steak. They even have rump and hanger selection. Decided to try something different and ordered the Top Sirloin over a stewed shallot sauce with sides such as long beans and potato gratin. The long beans was overcooked though and the vegetable just felt soggy to taste. Potato

I ordered the Sirloin steak - medium rare. The main course comes with 2 side dish and one sauce. I chose Ratatouille and Potato Gratin as my side and the Bernaise sauce for dipping. The steak was cooked well - nice and juicy. It's really nice to dip into the buttery tasting sauce. It's quite rich so go easy on it. The Ratatouille felt a little mushy but I quite enjoyed the flavour. The potato gratin, not so much. It was bland and tasteless. Tip: Ask for some rock sea salt. Sprinkle some on the s
