Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a relatively small place. You order at the desk (but only after they have secured a seat for you) and the order is then delivered to your assigned seat / table. I went for a late breakfast on Sunday (on Sunday they only...offer items from a special breakfast/ brunch menu, no lunch items). The place was busy and lively. Despite the fact there were about 4 people ahead of me, as a solo person I was seated within 3-5 min. I ordered Morning Quickie - health shot, avocado toast and coffee of your choice - in my case Cappuccino. There is a self service for water - both still and sparkling are available on tap. I got the health shot and Cappuccino at the time of order, toast came within 5 min. Food was good, nicely presented. The place is lively (on the noisier side) and has an atmosphere.More

I am very pleased that we have popped in to dine in this place. The food looks very appealing, is full of veg so it makes you feel that you are good to your gut and the prices are really decent. The portions are also...rather generous so it is hard to leave this place feeling hungry. They also have this great deal with wine, which I can fully recommend.More

A nice stroll from our hotel we found the Green Hippo. The vibe was relaxed and casual, the staff were friendly and the service was really quick. We both ordered the porridge which was perfect for the cold morning. The coffee was excellent too.

We had a small health problem and the workers were efficient in giving us the help we needed. Had it not been for them the situation could have become much more serious. Undoubtedly an outstanding service. On the other hand, the food was delicious, the...coffee superb and the decoration beautiful. Highly recommended. I can only say thank you.More

Very lovely place to start your day with a delicious breakfast or have a lunch break. The menu is simple but there is something for everyone. We had the breakfast deal with some extras for just €20,- per person. Very friendly staff that helped us...to find a table. I would definitely visit this place next time. (Please note that in the weekends it might be very busy and there is no option to book a table)More

Green Hippo seems to have a fun combination: healthy vegetarian food and lots of drinks! The large outdoor area was full of very trendy and well-dressed people, so we we a bit out of place. However, the food was very good! I had an excellent...tofu bowl with black rice, cabbage, peanut sauce and broccoli.More
