FELIX
30mins or 3 hours.....this is a place that you feel is your second home...even after just the one visit.
As Bastille day approached Becca Bites charged forward into the revolution that is top French tucker at Felix.
So whats all the fuss about, well it delivers on what you would or can expect from a classic Paris eatery – fresh produce, a good wine list that does not break the bank, and the whos who of French cuisine.
On this night Becca Bites went for wine by the glass and two courses with a desert to share – price point (including champagne on arrival) was around $160 per person....so not cheap but not outrageous.
It is simple food that can often get chiefs into the most trouble, at Felix it is the opposite, it is simple, honest food done exceptionally well.
Wait staff were on the ball on a packed night, watching to see our glasses were kept full and that as we finished each course the next was ready with only a short intermission to enjoy the wine and the tile work that surrounds the bar / dinning area.
This is not a place for a business lunch or dinner, it is a place to enjoy all that is good in life, food, wine and the company of friends and family.
You need to spend nearly as much as Becca Bites on your night at Felix, but you can rest assured that at whatever price point you are comfortable with, you will enjoy your night at Felix......oh and do not miss the giant champagne buckets at each end of the bar....truly French.

Loved the specials and excited to go back to try the seafood.

My partner and I went there for lunch. The ambience is cosy and elegant. Th staff is really attentive and kind, we had french soup and the waiter proposed us to share it in 2 bowls for us. With that we had an amazing Gruyere sufflé, and also tuna&kingfish tartare.
Then for main my partner got the special of the day that was Duck Confit and I choose the Salmon fillet. Flavours were well balanced. The pomme puree as side is a top notch. Not completely full we decided to get also a Passionfruit Sufflé with coconut sorbet. The flavour just explodes in your mouth! The texture is just parfait, like eating a cloud made by the tropical fruit.
Really great experience. Thanks to the restaurant manager and all the staff!!
A favourite extravagance - great food, cocktails, service and energetic vibe. The soufflé, either as entree (cheese) and/or dessert (passionfruit) are hard to go past and the steaks are excellent. Duck confit and oh the terrine!! are likewise. One of the better value, all around finer diners for me in Sydney.
This restaurant offers French inspired dishes and food in a nicely decorated setting. Their garlic prawns are absolutely delicious and filled with flavour and fragrance. Portions are decent and you will be left feeling satisfied.
A beautiful setting that brings a piece of France into Sydney. Our waiter was highly professional and attentive. My partner ordered the minute steak which was quite pleasing. However my fillet Mignon was tough and chewy- not the texture I was expecting. The small seafood platter was a terrific way to start- the King Alaskan crab salad was divine with the toasted brioche. The cos salad with buttermilk dressing was a great accompaniment for our steaks...Just the right balance of freshness and creaminess. Had my steak been more enjoyable I definitely would have awarded 5 stars.
Excellent good, great service and a good wine list, all on a beautiful dining room. What’s not to like?
To get here on a Saturday night, you must walk past a bunch of scantily dressed ladies in a queue. Funny location for a casual and yet ‘high end’ restaurant. The service was fast and friendly, perfect for the vibe of the restaurant. Highlight: Great food and the vibe is casual. Lowlights: a solid French bistro; hard to pick fault.. Sometimes it is hard to be exceptional in a city with many choices.
I really loved the interior of this place. Absolutely beautiful and on theme, from floor to ceiling. Great ambience, can get pretty loud. Super busy when we went on a Friday night. Starter of healing prawns was nice. Duck w beetroot for a main, really disappointing :( a little tough but more than that it was jst bland and didn’t really taste like duck.. the kale and beets were tiny portion. Luckily had broccoli as a side. I’d go back for a drink at the bar but not for dinner
Great atmosphere and food is delicious! Dessert was the best meal. Dishes to get are the steak frites, and apple tarte tartin. However wish the staff were more attentive as we had to frequently get their attention.
Nestled in Sydney's Ash Street laneway, this elegant bistro’s classic French fare is perfectly matched by an extensive wine list. Felix is affectionately designed as a romantic homage to the quintessential French brasserie. Diners are charmed by its many authentic touches; like walls featuring real Parisian subway tiles, imported French chandeliers, a beautiful pewter bar and food delivered by waiters in traditional long-aprons.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: one of my favourite French restaurants I’ve tried to date.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The staff here are attentive and the food is amazing. We tried the steak and the prawns - both were fresh and tasty. They made the best steak tartare with delicious sauces that accompanied the tartare - simply Devine
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: although the ambience is great inside, this place is right next door to the Ivy which can get a bit rowdy and if you let it distract you - it may takeaway from the overall ambience
🥇Lizzie rates overall: beautiful French restaurant I’m sure I’ll be back for more
Love this place. Great atmosphere and great service. Excellent wine list and beautiful food. Well worth a visit. We had a great table right in the heart of the restaurant. Highly recommended.
A 1-hat restaurant, we found Felix to be most probably the best seafood and steakhouse in Sydney.
Felix boasts a short but well written menu of seafood 🦞 and steak 🥩 selections, it has an extensive wine list to match the menu. French bistro style concept but of the highest quality. Reservations required for dinner as it is usually full in the evenings.
Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
We had ordered a lot dishes for two people and we had a great night.
Food overall was delicious, especially the kingfish was outstanding. Service was good and friendly too. The restaurant is a bit noisy so that’s the downside as you sometime can’t hear the person across you well.
I hope they will add more variety to the menu.
Great ambience, excellent service,nice cocktail and amazing food. I’ve been to this place many times over the years and enjoyed it every time. A little bit pricy but definitely worth it. Please leave room for desserts, which will make the grand finale for the night. Highly recommended.

Had my husband’s birthday dinner at Felix, great environment, wine mesh is amazing. Love the steak, must order item from the menu! Will visit again next month.
Felix has again lived up to its high standards and matching expectations of the diners. The food and service were absolutely superb. Highlights of the meal were the T-Bone and the whole duck (note duck pie and profiteroles not coeliac friendly, but looked amazing). Warm gluten free bread is always appreciated for a coeliac.
A classic French bistro with a great ambience. Food was great too. The highlights were probably the steak frites and steak tartare (served table side). The steak was tender and cooked to perfection, with a side of French fries. However, I felt that service was a bit rushed and every item was on the pricey side.
Probably the best oysters I’ve ever had. All the seafood was super fresh. Impeccable friendly service. On the pricey side but worth it for a special treat. Cannot fault the food at all (and that doesn’t happen very often with me )
Impeccable food, just as you would expect at this price point, Felix is the kind of place you go to when you want to celebrate a milestone. Service is top notch and the wine list is endless, so definitely make use of the highly qualified and very helpful sommeliers to really elevate your experience!
