I REALLY want to love this place, have been many times and I'm keen to support vegan restaurants...BUT...the very poor food is the lowest quality vegan food in town. Given the location, this is a huge wasted opportunity! Unfortunately, it also confirms meat-eaters' general misconception that vegan food is poor, which is a shame. Example: serving bland, plain salad with no dressing at all; just vegetables plonked on a plate. Really Hippo? Most people wouldn't even do that at home, let alone in a restaurant! Vegan food should be about making meat-free food delicious! The lack of creativity is staggering and goodness knows how they pay the rent at this location with so few customers! I keep going back hoping they've got the message, but no. Can I politely suggest the hippo team talk up Berwick street to Mojo (on corner of D'Arblay St) to see some AMAZINGLY creative, delicious vegan delights! Or Mildred's (if you can get a table). Or Vanilla Black. Steal their ideas!
