Been coming here for a few years now – look out for the special deals (e.g. birthday, entertainment book, etc) which make it worth the money.
Excellent selection of wines and beautiful seafood are the highlights. Last time I was here we ordered oysters, steak tartare, truffle fries and the duck main course. The duck totally exceeded my expectations with perfectly rendered skin, pink flesh – paired with crispy eggplant croquette and finished with an exquisite jus. Steak tartare was good but the cured egg was a bit hard, and the truffle fries had some but not enough truffle flavour. On the dessert side - crepes Suzette are a sure winner vs. the moelleux which is more like your basic run-of-the-mill chocolate cake...
Overall I like Bistro Felix - it's a charming, laid back wine bar & bistro with good food and a warm vibe.
We had a business dinner here tonight and we were happy that we chose felix. There was a bit of confusion to begin with but it was soon cleared up.
Our meal started with beautiful tapas which the highlight really:)
There was a set menu but everyone seemed happy.
The all French crew were fabulous

With the recent run of sunny winter days we took the opportunity when in Subiaco last week to stop in at Bistro Felix and take up a table on the deck outside – filtered sunlight under shade and a gentle breeze made for a perfect lunchtime setting. The menu offered a range of small and large sharing plates and a selection from these, together with a glass of wine or two from their well put together wine list, completed a very enjoyable lunch.
Lovely restaurant and atmosphere. Friendly professional service. Came for lunch. Well presented and tasty meals. Have been here a number of times over the years and enjoy this restaurant.
Always great food and service. The atmosphere is fabulous too. Highly recommend for dinner. Have created a lovely al fresco area which is great on warmer nights.
I love bistro felix and I'm so happy that it's still open. The French food served here is delicious and traditional. I suggest sticking to seafood here as that is what they do best.
Bistro Felix has been on our to do list for some time pleased we finally made it there. Service attentive and efficient upon arrival. Promptly ordered our selection of dishes - and waited and waited .... whilst the restaurant was busy it wasn't packed and we were a late sitting. We were almost at the point of asking when all our dishes arrived at the same time. Shame given we had ordered the charcuterie board and then some warm dishes - didn't quite work! However, the food didn't disappoint - the blood sausage salami and wild boar meat tasty - could suggest that the wild boar be sliced more thinly. As for the Gnocchi with brown butter, sage, mushroom and feta fabulous tastes, little heavy on the oil. Stand out for me was the
Calves liver, Brussel sprouts, cranberries and toasted almonds - just a shame we only had a sliver of liver!

Went to BF for anniversary dinner. On the website you can join and you get complimentary meal on birthdays and anniversaries when you get a meal from the large plate menu. Is very good deal and highly recommend! Also 4:00 to 6:0 they have happy hour where oysters are $2 and beer is $10 and wine $6 and their special cocktail was $14. He had a dozen oysters, i had the chorizo and olives and baguette ($10..v nice). He had beers, i tried the cocktail special but tbh didn't like it. We asked them if they could make us a caipiroska without sugar which they did and it was amazing and refreshing and icy cold ( think they charged $16). We also hadthe sweet potato crisps which were nice but needed salt. For my free main i went with the burger. It was nice but the bread roll was way way waaaaay too thick. Also was weirdly sweet. He had the fish of the day. The skin was super crunchy but the fish was a bit too moist. It was a nice light meal. We also got the sidenof asparagus w butter which was delish and slightly charred but in the best way. For desert had the apricot cheese cake which was lovely. Service was great and it was a lovely nighy. Also when staff found out it was our anniversary they brought us two chocolates w caramel filling. Turned out if we had told them in advance we would have had sparklers in our cheese cake! So tip...if u got for birthday or anniversary, let them know! tip 2 register for your free meal twice a year... is very good deal!
This restaurant took me by surpise. Walking in i was expecting something like bar food but this place by far exceeded itself into fine dining. The waiters were plesant on arrival and were very friendly. As we sat down and engaged in conversation we looked at the menu and simple enough it was straight forward. Food was very quick to come out. Usually id give a grace of 30mins waiters bought it out in 21mins which was pretty good by my standards. Quality was great and high presentation. Deserts were a lil on the average but presentation was great. So only down falls of the night.. decor needs update bar area good and my damn fries didnt come out but the guys took it off our bill so im happy. Having said that were there for the food and experience of that food so overall great place will be back soon
This is one our most favourite go-to places where we always know the staff are amazing, food delicious and we always feel like it was a fantastic night. The pork belly and beef as usual was just so good!
Had a very enjoyable night a few weeks back, food was beautiful, service was first class and the wine was even better. I was very hungry and almost licked the plate. Will be back for sure
I read some reviews before coming, which were mostly negative, and I couldn't disagree more. From the moment we walked in the service was 5 star. The food was beyond delicious. The atmosphere was a little subdued, but relaxed, and personally I prefer that to tunes being so blasted so loud that you can't even hear each other. I would recommend to anyone seeking a romantic date, or upscale evening.
The mains were excellent. I had the confit duck while hubby ordered the eye fillet which was so tender. The disappointment was the shoestring fries which were undercooked and soggy.
Awesome place! Beautiful staff, especially mrs Orianna! Takes care of us whenever we go, friendly, professional and just the best! A must go place in Subi!
@chali we enjoyed the best food ever. Gotta love the French and will continue to come back. The service was awesome as well and can't wait to try the wines 😋😋
Been there twice, the food is excellent and the service is great. Orianna would have to be one of the best waitresses I have come across. I would definitely go again. Love it.

Bistro Felix is on our list of places to revisit, though it is not always consistent in quality or service. This time, for lunch, it was pretty good. The restaurant was quite full but service did not suffer. The wait staff were attentive, friendly and efficient. The food and drinks came out in good time - not too quick, not too slow. Love their wine list (though like many Perth restaurants, it is overpriced). The menu is designed for sharing and that worked out well for us. We shared: Beef Croquettes, Rabbit Rillettes, Gruyère Cheese Tart and Duck Leg Confit. In general, the food was good. Well prepared and presented and good flavours. One exception was the pastry crust on the Gruyère tart, which was burnt. I'm a bit surprised they even served it in that condition. I guess we could have sent it back but the filling was great so we ploughed on. My wife thought the duck confit was a bit on the dry side but I was OK with it. They had a featured French red wine by the glass, Château Laroche Joubert Merlot Cab Sauv, which neither of us liked (I suspect it was corked, but again I didn't send it back; maybe I should have), but I can recommend the Two Paddocks (owned by Sam Neill, the actor) Picnic Pinot Noir - lovely wine. We weren't happy when my wife's sparkling wine was served in a coupe glass. Very retro and very bad. Everyone knows you DO NOT serve sparkling wine in a coupe, even if it isn't champagne. It just ruins the wine. But we didn't let it spoil our enjoyment. It was very pleasant sitting near the open front window with a slight breeze coming in. The atmosphere was very conducive to a relaxing afternoon.
Good food once we sussed out the menu.. Went to Bistro Felix for my 1 year anniversary with my wife.
We had a great seat at the front near the open windows on to the street.
Wine was a little bit on the pricey side but good, the menu was a bit disjointed but once it was explained to us by the lady serving us we were happy with what we ordered.
Loved the pappardelle but could have been a larger serving.
An enjoyable meal overall and we will be back.
Absolutely fabulous. My wife and I went for dinner at Felix on Friday night. I ordered a steak ( which was very tasty and cooked just the way I liked it) and my wife ordered the flounder. My wife started to eat the flounder and found that it was not to her liking as she was used to the flounder we have in NZ. The waitress asked how the meal was and when my wife said she found the flavour strange they offered her a choice of another main free of charge. She then ordered the pasta which was delicious. The maître de then came over to discuss the meal and talked about ways that she and the chef could improve the presentation and taste of the flounder.
What we found refreshing was that it wasn't all about the restaurant but it was about how we as the customers could enjoy our experience at the restaurant. A refreshing change when most of the other restaurants in town are racking up their prices and don't really give a fig about their customers. I would give this restaurant 10 out of 10.

New menu underwhelming. We've been to this restaurant many times but on a recent visit we were very underwhelmed by the new menu. The last thing Perth needs is more sharing plates/tapas. Bistro Felix was one of the only places in Subiaco where you used to be able to get an entree and a main. Also this restaurant has always been tight with portion sizes. They simply aren't generous enough to do share plates. Gone are the lovely slow cooked specials like boeuf bourguignon and other French classics like the French onion soup and tarte tatin have also disappeared. The free bread to start with has also gone. I ordered the tuna sashimi (the clue was that is was in the section called "small bites"). Small bite more like - there must have been 20g of tuna - I could have put it all on one fork. And so much lime juice that it was more like ceviche than sashimi. My partner ordered the scallops which were beautifully cooked if plain. Main course was an $80 piece of Scotch fillet to share. For this price at least offer chateaubriand which would be 600g of meat rather than 400g of meat and 200g of fat. No sides included for that price either and when they say the chips are enough to share, they're not. We struggled for service and the wine didn't arrive until after we'd finished the entrees (sorry, small bites). We will be back, but not until after they change the menu back to classic bistro fare. It's such a shame as the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and has always been pricey but good.
Great staff and food. Went to Bistro Felix for the first time tonight.
The staff here were very attentive, and the food came out quickly, and was great. I had the lamb shank special, which was delicious, and the red wine jus was to die for. My friend had the duck breast and said it was delicious and well cooked. The highlight of the night by far was the chocolate soufflé for 2, which was definitely worth the wait. Would definitely go again.
Amazing all round. Amazing amazing.
Service is awesome, the food is fresh, French and beautiful. I would go here again and again if I could afford it! Have been twice now and both times have been utterly impressed with everything. My favourite is the steak tartare. Try it. But allow a few hundred bucks for a decent dinner out with wine. Take your entertainment card.
Nice Bistro, Good service. Nice bistro... Service was great attentive yet not intrusive, been here a few times and on the whole it has been very good, menu has changed recently, food was ok but not the best, I had the duck which was tough and over cooked, but these things happen some times... Overall not too bad, especially if you use the entertainment card.
Amazing food! Great wine list, and you have to try the desserts! Bistro Felix is one of few restaurants that ticks all the boxes. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.
Not bad. Didn't have a problem with the service. Don't order the steak cooked anything longer than rare. The chef wont do it. Handy for me, I wouldn't make a special effort to go.
Oh lala. Dinner on wednesday 4th june. where to start? entrees of scallops, quail and goats cheese soufflé, delicious and on discussion hard to pick a favourite! mains... The duck and seafood tagliatelle..... with sides of asparagus and french beans, just wonderful.
we decided on a share desert of the chocolate souffle ( which allowing for the 20-30 minute cooking time) let dinner settle beautifully. Desert was a treat, just right for sharing, amazing.
the staff and service was attentive. . we will be back for more, thank you
The soufflé is amazing! Great friendly staff.
Great Friday lunch. Went here last Friday for lunch. Three of us all had the scallops for entrée - they were very fresh and plump and well flavoured. To of us had the fish of day which was Atlantic salmon, which we thought was cooked to perfection, and really well complimented by the sauce. The other guest had the duck which he raved about. The restaurant is lovely and open looking over Rokeby Road. Service and staff were faultless. Lunch for 3 including sparkling waters and a drink each came to under $200 which I think represented very good value for the standard of food and service
Had an enjoyable meal here last night. Scallops for my entree - delicious and tomato salad for him - also delicious. Chateaubriand for 2 as a main was brilliant. Sommaliers choice Pinot Noir - highly recommend. Negatives - service was a let down. We had to wait 45 mins between entree and main and weren't offered more wine even though our glasses were empty for over half an hour. Would try again for the ambiance and quality food.

Great Restaurant - Fantastic Service. This restaurant impressed my wife and I at a recent dinner. We ordered and enjoyed the Quail and Steak Tartare (almost main size) entrees and and the Beef Fillet (Very well cooked to rare and delicious) and Confit Duck mains. Apart from the food, we also thought the decor and ambience of the restaurant was perfect for a date night. we'll be back as the wife was eyeing off the seafood pasta at the next table and i'd love a second serving of the beef fillet.The great service also must be mentioned as the staff are very professional and made the evening even more enjoyable.
Food Heaven. When you first walk in, you notice the dimmed lighting and the European wine bar wall art, you immediately feel a little classy.
Please wait to be seated, well no waiting was involved, service was so lovely here.
And the food, my god the food was just delicious. The goats cheese souffle was so soft and flavoursome. The scallops were perfectly cooked, so fresh and plump and sweet. The beef fillet to share was ordered for mains. It's really just meat and two veg, but something so simple, cooked so perfectly really makes your night. We were pretty full by dessert, so we ordered chocolate and mango mousse combination to share. The presentation was so beautiful. Amazing flavours and textures.
Bistro Felix is not exactly light on the wallet, but you get what you pay for. I would definitely go back, and I definitely recommend the place.
Meh. For the price of most of the dishes I expect for a little bit better quality than what I've received. My wife and I have been about 3 times now, mostly just for the dessert chocolate souffle. If people are willing to spend the amount of money it costs to go here, then I'd suggest trying Rockpool or Nobu first. All that being said, the food is still quite nice and I've never had an unpleasant meal, it's just expensive.
Absolutely perfect... Each course was better than the last. The steak frites was incredible & the chocolate fondant with blueberry sorbet was heavenly! The service was wonderful too- just the right balance of attentiveness! I will definitely be back!
Pleasant. Been here a couple of times, was very nice both times, will be back sometime or another! thanks :)
We went for dinner about a week ago. Great service, lovely meal. All 4 of us were happy with our meals. The chicken, fish and steak were delish!
Another fantastic meal! My fillet for mains was honestly the best steak I have had for a very long time. The service was perfeft, cocktails were delicious. Could not fault it!
Lovely!. I had a really pleasant dining experience with a group of friends, the waiter was extremely friendly and kind, and the food didn't fall short of the standards i was expecting! ( :
Great Food. I always enjoy going to Bistro Felix as the food is delightful and the service is good too! Will be back in the near future!
Great service, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
This is one of our favourite restaurants. Food is consistently delicious and their fixed price 2 or 3 course menu is a very good deal. Pork belly entree is yummy and desserts never fail in the taste department. Only grumble is that alcoholic beverages are waaaay too expensive.
I have now used Bistro Felix on two occasions for business dinners and both times were wonderful meals with good service. I have had both the Duck Confit and a Steak with a red wine reduction and both were excellent. In both cases my guests were thrilled with the meals.
Loved it! Had dinner on a Friday night, we had the beef cheek and lamb rack with a side of broccolini. All the food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the wine was perfectly matched.
Amazing Harvey beef, great service, would recommend. I will be returning.
Lovely Ambience & Amazing Food and Service. Vsited Bistro Felix last night after making a late dinner reservation. We waited at the bar for a couple of minutes but were attended to promptly by their friendly waitstaff. The booths that my partner and I were escorted to was comfy and very romantic for our date night. The service was impeccable with complementary bread and salted butter. The wines matched well with our meals too. The food....where do I start. It was perfect, start to end we were both impressed. We both ordered the beef fillet with a side of broccoli and confit potatoes, it is well worth every dime. We had no room for dessert but the wafting smell of the double chocolate souffle for two will be on the agenda for our next visit. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Perth.
Lovely lamb. Apart from the duck which was flavoursome but on the dry side, and a short interlude where the staff seemed a bit too preoccupied with a large group to notice that our empty mains plates had been waiting to be cleared for a bit too long, we had a very lovely meal. It's an intimate space with service generally the way I like it - attentive but not intrusive. The goats cheese souffle was truly delicious and I'd go so far as to say that the rack of lamb, with a smoky caponata was the best meal I've had in a long time....sadly it was on the other side of the table but it was a generous enough serve that I managed to sneak a good share. Very good value with the entertainment card. Will be back.
Yummy. In a word it was delicious - I had the gnocchi and it was sooo good! It wasn't on the menu when I went back for lunch so I had the fish dish which was equally yummy. Nice wine list and helpful staff who very attentive. Highlight of the meal was the charming French manager who was very suave indeed!
Great food, great service. We had the meat platter for entree, beef fillet for main & lemon tart for dessert. The food was all lovely. We were there on a packed night & the service was second to none with the timing good between courses. We will be back.
Anniversary Dinner. Great Service, great food. Would love to go again!
