History
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.
