In our search around our new home (Surry Hills) my wife found this little gem of a restaurant. The decor is slightly shabby African style, but comfy and inviting. The food is outstanding. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara and my wife had a pan fried chicken dish. Both were way better than the price indicated and we will add this to our list of favourite local restaurants
It tends to be quiet at the Hippo Lounge, I think because people are put off by the bottom level (Madison). Upstairs is quiet, pleasant, has great service and comfy couches. The tapas menu in particular is great, especially the tapas tasting plate for two. Yum.
