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.
