Hippopotamus (restaurant)

As of November 2013, Hippopotamus has 170 locations worldwide,[1] including in Ivory Coast, Morocco, Algeria, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Thailand, and Tunisia.

In mid-1968, Christian Guignard opened his first grill restaurant near the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

The restaurant served prime rib on a thick wooden board with matchstick fries.

Changes such as vegetarian dishes, Braille menus, and sides of green beans were later added.

In February 1992, Group Flo led by Jean-Paul Bucher bought the assets of Hippopotamus.
