About Felix Bistro & Brasserie

Tucked into Ash Street laneway, Felix delivers pure Parisian brasserie transport—moody jazz, imported chandeliers, and a long pewter bar under low light. Waiters in floor-length aprons roll carts through the room, tossing hand-cut steak tartare tableside with raw egg yolk, capers, and crisp baguette croutons. Couples celebrating anniversaries consistently head for the garlicky escargot before sharing a chateaubriand carved for two. The floor sommeliers run blind pours and unearth requested French vintages without an ounce of pretense, easing you toward a leisurely finish over cracking spoons of crème brûlée.

  • Tableside Tartare Theater: Servers in traditional long aprons mix hand-cut tartare tableside with raw yolk, capers, and crisp baguette croutons.
  • Ash Street Brasserie Setting: Imported French chandeliers, authentic subway tiles, and a prominent pewter bar recreate classic 1920s brasserie energy.
  • Sommelier-Led Wine Program: Floor sommeliers guide guests through deep French cellars, custom requests, and tailored blind tastings.
  • Time-Honored French Staples: From tender, garlicky escargots and crisp frites to chateaubriand and caramelized crème brûlée.
