Loved the Blue cheese burger (i don't think it was named that though). The Smoky was very good too. Their caramelized onion on both really topped it off. Recommended neighborhood burger & brunch place 🥰

The Story
About This Place
Marcel sits on Ngô Quang Huy, one of the quieter residential streets in Thao Dien, with a format that keeps the kitchen running from morning coffee through to evening burgers. The 9 AM to 10 PM schedule, held every day of the week, positions it as a genuine all-day venue rather than a weekend-only brunch destination — a practical detail in an expat-heavy neighbourhood where consistent hours carry real weight.
The three-way concept — coffee shop, brunch restaurant, burger joint — gives it a flexibility that most single-format spots lack. Morning regulars can arrive for coffee before the brunch crowd settles in; the burger menu extends the evening window well past the point where most brunch venues have already closed. That range likely explains why 646 Google reviewers have weighed in, landing the place at a 4.4 rating: the audience is broad rather than niche.
Thao Dien carries no shortage of Western-leaning café-restaurants, and the competition along the main arteries of Xuân Thủy and Nguyễn Văn Hưởng is real. Marcel's address on Ngô Quang Huy draws foot traffic from the surrounding residential blocks rather than passing vehicles, which tends to attract repeat diners over one-time visitors. A 4.4-star average built across several hundred reviews in that context reflects accumulated experience rather than opening-week momentum.
For anyone mapping out Thao Dien's all-day options, the appeal is straightforward: reliable hours, a menu that spans both brunch and dinner-adjacent territory, and a rating that has held steady across a meaningful volume of feedback.

I went here for brunch with my friend. The food was delicious and balanced, especially the mac and cheese. The service was cordial and accomadating even spoke eloquently. Compliments to the chef too as the food was served warm!
The place is really comfy. Food is sooo good, please compliment the chef for me 💗 Will definitely bring my friends and family here again for brunch. 🫶
Delicious as usual! I choose the novelty burger with lamb and melty cheese. Totally worth the experience. Cosy place to read a book also if you want to chill a bit longer.
We genuinely reach flow state when switching between the burgers, the sides and the SPICY MAYO. One of the best burger in town!! The Mac n cheese and the naughty fries were both so cheesy and savoury. 😋😋😋
