Bistro 21 21 Ocean Drive, South Fremantle, Western Australia 6163

"The coffees were hot and good flavour; the ham n cheese croissant was fresh, warm and tasty. Service friendly, a bit noisy outside but acceptable. Dog friendly. Have been before, will go again"

"The most disappointed I have ever been in a restaurant. Ordered fish and chips, not cheap and very small for price. Ate my chips and cut into the fish which was tough as an old shoe ridiculous for fish. Took it back to the counter and asked if I could have a decent piece of fish and showed waitress how tough it was. Waiter came back 2 minutes later with same plate advising that it was the type of fish they served. I said I would like another piece or money back. He came back with half the money saying that was all his boss was prepared to refund just for the chips really ? I said I wanted to talk to boss who was adamant I had eaten half the fish absolutely wrong I didn't have even half a bite he didn't even know the size of servings obviously. Insisted I had eaten and no new piece or refund. Continued to argue with me no customer service, rude and falsely accusing - will definitely never recommend or go back even if food was free. Rude and arrogant management with small inedible portions disappointing to say the very least"

"Vietnamese vegan pancake was really nice. English Breakfast not bad. One of the younger male server on 19/02/23 seemed to need more training however"

"One word...disappointing. I used to visit this spot years ago and it appears to have new owners. This was my favourite spot on a Sunday afternoon for a spot of lunch. It always used to bustling with folk. Not any more. Unfortunately the current cafe is somewhat lacking. Firstly on a 33oC day you would expect some cooling... apart from a singular old AC fan which didn't seem to work, it's just fans. Secondly having arrived at 12.15pm and hoping for some eggs Benedict, was told sorry the breakfast menu stops at 12pm...these days every cafe I go to doesn't have such restrictions. Instead I decided to have the Caesar salad with salmon and a berry smoothie. Well the smoothie was bland. And as the photos can attest to, the Caesar salad was very poor... minuscule bits of bacon, a few croutons, one slice of rolled up salmon and a pile of lettuce with a bad dressing. No egg (art of a Caesar salad btw). No choice of anchovies. The ingredients would have cost $1.50 if I had made myself...instead I was charged $23. So pretty much I will no longer go to this cafe until hopefully it changes hands and quality improves. I would have given 2 star due to the location and the nice front staff., However it really does not deserve it. Regarding the Owners comments to other reviews...you really are a rude individual in your responses, who clearly does not take on critical reviews in order to improve. So this is for the other potential patrons and not for the Owner. Avoid folks."

"We had breakfast here this morning. Very ordinary fare I’d say. The poached eggs looked like The Perishers eyes in the sky.. Toast was cold and hard.. cracked in half when I’d tried to butter it.. ordinary presentation, neither meals looked inviting…"
