Bistro 21 - NORTH COOGEE

We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of tasty Vietnamese dishes at this restaurant! The ingredients were fresh and high quality. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the menu had been updated, and it has apparently been available for quite some time. The restaurant also offers lovely views of the coast.

The food was mediocre and too expensive for the portions given. We went to the restaurant because of its location, but we're not sure if we'll go back.

I thought this restaurant would be a pleasant place to dine by myself. I decided to order a full breakfast and a mango smoothie. As a fan of fresh juices, I was looking forward to trying the smoothie, but unfortunately all I could taste was white chocolate and burnt milk. There was no hint of mango flavor at all. The mushrooms in the breakfast were coated in a burnt garlic paste that overwhelmed the taste. To make matters worse, I discovered a white hair in my food. Additionally, the restaurant only offered a vegan option, not a vegetarian one.

The staff seem very miserable! This will definitely put me off coming back. The fridge was also empty, no fresh croissants available or anything that looked half edible.

We had lunch their today I ordered angel hair pasta with prawns. It was NOT pasta they tasted like 2 minute noodles with 5 prawns added and some Chili. Very disappointing I asked the waiter it was supposed to b pasta he said it was but I couldn't understand what he was saying. I think it's changed hands as their is more Asian food on the menu
