Le 84 Café & Bistro — Restaurant in Hải Phòng

"A regular burger - not special, not bad." — My partner. I am vegetarian and despite stating on their menu that they allow for all sorts of combinations the chef refused to make me a burger without a patty and mushrooms instead.. Which is a shame because I would have paid the regular price for some vegetables. It's 2023. Almost all restaurants offer at least one vegetarian option.. even burger restaurants to cater for people who come there with their friends or partners. I then ordered a salad and asked for some mushrooms on that. They served me raw mushrooms. Asked them to change it and then they took half an hour to fry some mushrooms.. Ordered a cheesy garlic bread which didn't come for ages. When it came it had no cheese on it. The garlic bread was the worst I have had in my entire life. Soft with sweet butter. My partner had long finished his meal and I was still waiting on freaking garlic bread. Fries were overpriced (50 k for a small portion) and unseasoned. Vietnamese coffee was very good. Nice atmosphere, . Staff...

We went on a Friday night, and a good majority of their menu was not available.... Because it was Friday? We also were under the impression they had happy hour, maybe we were wrong. But my small Blanc for 65K seems a bit pricey (it wasn't listed menu). My burger was tasty, but I wish they would have asked me how I wanted it as it was a little too rare for me. The chicken wings had a nice smoky flavour, but something did seem a bit off. The staff tried to be friendly and helpful, and even though the rest of the customers foreigners they seemed to have trouble dealing with us, (explaining the menu, bringing us the right sauce) They tried, but I can honestly say I'm disappointed... I'm guessing had the chef and right people have been it could have been a good experience... I'd recommend try it at your own risk. I'm not sure if I'll try it again, but maybe it would be better. Hopefully the restaurant could be in full swing on a Friday night, not sure why Friday we be...

On the plus side the atmosphere is nice. However... I ordered a mushroom swiss burger. The burger was dry and under-seasoned, and the mushrooms were overcooked, dry, and rubbery. Worst of all were the french fries that clearly came from a bag. They don't even bother to add any seasoning, looked like they just chucked them in the air fryer. Chili was passable but lacked any real depth of flavor. Drinks are pricey and were continually brought out late and wrong. Waiter didn't seem to understand the difference between Rum and Jack. Chicken sandwich was exceptionally unremarkable and drier...
