Felix Cafe Reviews

Nothing like a 'French' brunch on a sunny winters morning. With doors all around open, bar open and sun pouring in what better way to spend a couple of hours. Food as usual fantastic, service great and ambience European. A must for a Sunday morning any time of the year.

On a beautiful day in New York.. Soho district..you come upon this lovely Cafe. The open patio with warm dark wood and inviting tables are an attraction. The menu is French and waiters assisting speak English. With strong appetites we ordered the cheese tray, the pate with pistachios, the mussels and numerous baskets of bread.Yes and the delectable frites. All were tasted with great gusto and the French wine helped as well. It made a relaxing afternoon and we recommend this lovely Cafe. Small note.. They only take American Express so cash and an ATM is at the bar.

Horrible. Super packed, worst service, awful music. Just don’t go. Waste of your time and money. We went there on a Sunday because we heard it was fun. Well.. it wasn’t!!!! Just don’t waste your Sunday afternoon on a place like this.

Tony , manager was world class. From the service to the amazing lunch. Once again my “go to” in Soho Cheers , till the next glass Saint-Émilion Experiences Tom

Nice little French bistro. Simple food but very good. French onion soup was delicious as was the Salade de chèvre chaud Perfect for a simple lunch Good selection of wines by the glass One minus - it could do without the monster TV showing sports

A true SoHo institution.. A bright sunny NY morning, a window table, gentle breeze..attentive professional staff.. an Excellent Le Croque-Monsieur, Salade Verte.. a cold cleansing ale.. Happy wife (glass of chilled Rosé) secure in the knowledge of retail bliss all around for blocks.. Ahh.. its a good life If you're in SoHo.. get to Felix

We just walked through Soho and saw this nice cafe. We had a table "in the windows". We were waiting but nobody was coming to ask for our order. Even if we had eye contact with the waiters a couple of times, they were not coming. We even took the menue cards on our own from another table... The place was not realy crowdy, so this was absolutely not understandable for us. After approx. 15 minutes we left and nobody took care of it. So the service was really bad, the rest cannot be scored as we couldn't experieced it.

We were booked into The SoHo Grand Hotel and decided to try dinner at the Felix Cafe, located very close to the hotel. We arrived shortly before 7 and got a great table but that was the end of the greatness. The service was awful despite the fact that the place was near empty. The food (except for the onion soup) was passable at best. We had heard that the place has a great lunnch but we did not experience that for dinner.

Last time we came here we were very impressed with the food but the service was not good. Staying in the area again, we thought we would give it another try. This time the service was even worse. We sat at our table for over 30+ minutes and no one even came to give us water or acknowledged us. Waiters looked at us but walked on by. After waiting even longer, we got up and walked out the open doors near us. Not until we were half way down the street did a waiter run after us. We were already on our way to David Burke kitchen. Wont be back . its a shame because food was pretty good last time, but waiter was rude. but this was even worse.

We had booked a table which was good as was very very busy. This place used to be much better, last night it was spoiled by overly loud house/dance music which was jarring with the venue and food. Such a shame. Food was ok. Pate to start was good and the bread is delicious. Steak frites was so-so. Duck confit was so-so, the gratin dauphinois and frisee salad were quite nice but the whole plate was very very salty (and I quite like salty food but this was a bit much) Model beer came out not cold enough. Used to like this place but won’t rush back.

The weather was perfect for us to sit where the windows opened on to the street so we had fun people watching all during our lunch. The service was just ok but the food was fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The clientele was another interesting mix-lots of French speaking diners but also other nationalities so it felt very European.

We had a very nice dinner experience here. We were staying in the area and just dropped in. Great buzz and good food.

This is a lovely place to sit, which is just as well, you'll be waiting a long time before you see anything resembling good service or hospitality!

I have been in this restaurant in june 2015 for a dinner with some colleagues. We found by chance and we have been attracted by its old-style look. food is overpriced for its quality, which is nothing more than average; the same goes for the wine, although its cost might be partly justified by the fact that we are talking about stuff imported from europe. What is really a no-go is the service: kind of bored and slow during the meal, it turned out to be annoying and aggressive by the time we got the check. It turned out that they only accept American Express credit cards and they have been very upsetting in the way they asked us to go withdraw cash. The area is full of restaurant and bars, no need to go in this one.

Very rude and disrespectful staff. We called for a reservation to watch f1 race and the person attending the call sounded like the biggest fan ever. Except when you got to the rez, the staff was indifferent and insensitive. Further they said 90min rez limit but gave us the check the minute we finished food. And eventually asked us to move ever before the limit. We asked for drinks and they said not here but at the bar (which was already full).

The food was excellent; and the service was sassy but fun. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Today my wife and I had brunch here. She had been here with her girlfriends six months ago. I thought this place would be nice for brunch on and 60° day in New York City. We ordered two black coffees, two bloody Mary's, a salad nicoise, and a salmon omelet. Seeing this cool atmosphere, we were expecting many great things. However, The service was absolutely horrible. When I received my dish, it was not a salmon omelette. Instead it was salmon eggs Benedict. The server insisted that it was a salmon omelette. However, I ate his error, and the salmon eggs Benedict was pretty good . It Took repeated request to have our coffee refilled. And when we finally got our check, we had been overcharged for four bloody Mary's instead of two. When I Asked our server, he made it seem that it was my fault. I would not recommend this restaurant since they are not honest and they make excuses for poor service.

The food was fantastic and they treated us like gold. Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. Great place for our Anniversary.

What an awful place! Arrogant, rude, incompetent waiters and overpriced bad food and drinks. Be smart, and go elsewhere.

If it was only for the quality of the food and the decoration of the place I would have given five stars. The meat was excellent and the place is really designed like a proper French restaurant. It's expensive, but for the quality of the food and the location I guess that is to be expected. There are a number of problems with this place that have a negative impact on the experience though. First the loud banging music, which causes people to shout in order to speak with each other. Very un-French. Second, the servers are cleary under pressure to deliver a quick turnover. I lifted the last piece of ham from the plate of my starter, and while I put it in my mouth they immediately removed the plates and put down our main courses. Especially at a dinner I would want a little bit of time to digest the starter before receiving the main course. Third, and this is the most serious problem, 20% gratuity was added straight to the bill. That should be forbidden.

A mainstay of soho since as long as I've been in New York. You can always get a table here on a Friday night which is nice. They can also accommodate larger groups. The escargot are good, though what in butter and garlic isn't? And the moules are a large portion with a nice broth. The staff is friendly as well.

Went here for breakfast, the menu was quite nice, but the staff was quite rude, maybe because they think it's a cool frensh thing to do. Anyways, they did not accept alterations to the menu, didn't have Almond milk or any other milk alternative for coffee. The worst though was when it came to the cheque, they only accept cash or American Express. No Visa no Mastercard, so I had to use their own ATM which charged an additional $2.50 for the withdrawal (and this doesn't include the fee the bank charges for a private ATM on top). This was never mentioned before, and when I finally payed in cash they even expected to not want change, so I had to ask them to bring me change so I could choose how much Tip I wanted to add. Won't go here again for sure.

To be frank I write reviews when I am pissed off. You bet I am with Felix cafe! I was charged $30 for what I thought was tap water. I don't mind paying if I am asked and given the option between tap and bottled water. I am strong believer though that if you are fair and transparent with your customers this will translate in your food as well and Felix Cafe food is at best mediocre.

The food was OK but it's a small space and the people that work there take themselves too serious. For a cafe, which are many around the city and a lot much better, they make ordering too complicated. We had 9 people order food, 3 pitchers of mojitos and they still would not give me a beer unless I order bottle service - if it was a club. The menu has a few options and most were good, the burger and Benedict was but it was difficult eating with a lot of noise and the tables on top of each other. Will never come back

We had Tony as a waiter and he was the most rude waiter I have ever had. He was snotty, he argued with me and he My husband asked for a glass for his beer and he said you have one, my husband said that’s a wine glass and he snapped back and said that’s all we have use that. He ruined our time because he was so nasty

Service refused to bring more than two bottles of wine to a table of 8 because “I’m not going to carry that”... refused to continue to serve us unless we ordered a 3l bottle rather than a 1.5l. Management should be embarrassed, service was disgusting and shallow.

THE WORST, WORST, WORST EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE HAD IN NY. I was with my family spending a nice afternoon until one of the waitresses told us to leave because we had already spent two hours at the restaurant!! INCREDIBLE!!! The waitress was rude and used obscene words because we did not want to leave!! We bought a three Lts. wine bottle, lunch for six people, we asked for another wine bottle and they demand us just got out for no reason!!! If I'm two hours at a restaurant not consuming I would understand the situation, yet, THIS WAS NOT OUR CASE!! My friends, believe me, you do not want to have a bad time going there.

Charming venue with excellent food, reasonable prices, great service and great atmosphere. Felt like we were in a Paris bistro.

Great place for lunch if you like being jammed packed and don’t seek private conversations. Food is typical French bistro style, and portions are good. The part that really irked me is the service (or lack thereof) at the bar. The bar is an afterthought at Felix. The bar tender (a gentleman from Colombia) had a “I don’t care” attitude from the get go and provided a service below par in NYC. We stayed there for a couple hours and I don’t believe he made eye contact once. Go there to eat, but avoid that bar at all cost. If the poor service doesn’t do it, the poor quality sound speaker system will most certainly be a red flag of overall poor management.

Someone recommended this place to us and as we were being sat, we read all of the reviews. And they were pretty spot on.... This place has very good food. We were there for brunch and ordered the tuna tartare, the hanger steak and the chicken. Both of us have food allergies and the kitchen was very accommodating. That being said, the service was slow and at times the waiter was a little cliché with the snooty "French" and NYC attitude. But by the end, he had loosened up and it was an enjoyable experience. FYI - if anyone in your party has a peanut allergy, they use peanut oil for all frying so you will get at least trace contact. Depending on your reaction, you may have to avoid this restaurant.

The music and vibe of the restaurant has the potential for it to be great. However, it was such an awful experience with the wait staff that I would never go back. After a few minutes of getting seated, the waiter asked for our order which we asked for a glass of rose and plate of fries. The waiter yelled at us saying we can't order appetizers and we have to order only mains because they have 400 people coming that day. I said we were planning to order mains just wanted to start with an appetizer and needed a few more minutes to look at the menu. He kept yelling at us and left while yelling. Then the hostess came by and said if we weren't eating then we would have to move to the bar. We never said we weren't going to order a main dish, we just asked for an appetizer in addition to mains. This was fully made up and the first of many times they tried to get us to leave. Then finally the waiter came back over to order. I had to reorder the wine since he clearly wasn't listening to us the first time, and just yelling at us. Then after 45 minutes, they made us move tables to accommodate another group. Then they gave us the check without us asking if we wanted anything else (dessert, another drink). I put my card down and was drinking my wine when the waiter came back over to yell at us for not paying yet since they have many people waiting. My card was there waiting for him to charge it and he was just yelling at us for absolutely no reason. We paid and were sitting finishing our drinks for about 10 more minutes. We had been at the restaurant less than an hour and a half. Another hostess came by and told us they have so many people waiting and we paid so long ago and that we had to leave. I told her we had been there less than an hour and a half and just needed a few more minutes to finish drinks. She, like all the other waiters we interacted with, did not listen to a word I was saying and continued to say how many people were waiting for that table. Awful experience for what was supposed to be a nice Sunday brunch. On top of everything that happened, they require all tables of any size to tip 20%. Probably because people would tip so poor if they didn't include this. Even though the place is apparently an historic place to go to, I wouldn't choose to go back to a place where they wanted you to leave from the moment you got there.

There are several very good bistros downtown. Felix has mediocre food and service so contemptuous of their patrons I will never go again.

Amazing cornered location on West Broadway, a block from Canal street and the Soho Grand hotel. Typical french bistro with professional and mostly french waitstaff. Food meets identity expectation and the atmosphere connectsand adapts to the time and day you will visit Felix. Do not expect the same experience each times, the magic of this place is it's waving spirit, either for brunch on a saturday or sunday, a weekly lunch or dinner or a wild saturday night! you will get the consistency you are looking for if you Give it trials and find what felix formula fits you and then you will find one of your gems! This is why i called it for locals only, this is the kind of place that you need to explore multiple times to understand it and in return felix, and their owners Alain and Alex and the staff will treat you as family!Garanteed! over 30years running, it ain't luck! it's Hospitality!

Pricing that is already way over the top, was apparently not enough for this restaurant after providing lousy service. On a party of 5 they were trying to get away with a sneaky automatic 20% tip added to the check. I was so offended that I refused it and the MD said she would take it off. Needless to say I found out later on my CC that this had not been done. Avoid! This is a tourist trap!

We absolutely loved this place, so much so we came back to have lunch and brunch here about 4 times. The place is run by a Brazilian/French husband and wife team and staffed with waiters who have so much energy and enthusiasm. The decor is beautiful and really, you could be in Paris once you're sitting inside. The food is wonderfully fresh and tasty; tuna tartare was one of my favourite appetisers and the salad with goat cheese was just the right thing to have when you want something light but full of flavour. Burgers with chips were one of my husband's favourites and i can vouch for the chips being totally addictive. Drinks and cocktails are also worth coming for. They know how to make a good one and also do pitchers of cocktails, perfect for groups. We saw how buzzing the place gets on weekends after 4pm. Music was pumping and everyone looked like they were having a brilliant time. The Fussball table was moved outside and I think it wasn't long before people were dancing. Once you've tried Balthazar (overrated), then come to Felix for a genuinely French brasserie with a wonderful vibe. I can't wait to visit again!

As we were staying at the Soho Grand nearby we just fell upon this Brasserie. It was early Friday evening and the place was buzzing. We were given a table overlooking the street which was perfect for people watching. One of my favourite pastimes! Service was excel an as were my escargot and my steak. Delicious! Wine list was extensive and our wine good. Do remember you're in New York, nothing is cheap. Having said that at least it was good! A very enjoyable evening. Tres Bon

Very nice French brasserie in the heart of Soho! Great wines and typical french brasserie food from fois gras to steak tartare. Try to get a seat next to the window - great for people watching!

There is nothing wrong with this place but I left rather unconvinced about everything! Service was OK; The wine had some teething problems; The food was OK; But overall not a place to stand out from the crowd of restaurants in NY. Not bad, not to good…average is a good definition of it!!!

Felix Is one of My favourite places in New York City. Is big, open, naturally kit. Very good dishes, pasta and etc. Very good attention. Not so much expensive...

Great restaurant with a nice family feeling. When you arrive you feel like you are in Paris. The service is great and they have some real classic french food on the menu. A tips is to book a table in advance, although they always solved it for us.

Bottom line, French onion soup was excellent but the rest of the meal was uneventful . . Plenty of steak options but I had the free range chicken with seasoning and it was fine,not overwhelming . . .my partner had a salad and she was underwhelmed by the freshness of it . .

I met here with 2 other couples for a brunch and was extremely disappointed. The doorman was rude and didn't acknowledge our reservation. He let half of our group in and then proceeded to yell at the rest of our group when they tried to enter. It was so poorly run and the staff was running around without any type of organization. To top it off, while we were waiting for our table by the bar, a staff manager proceeded to shove me and then yell at me for being "in the way" and told me we should just leave. I have never been treated with more disrespect in my life. And I'm a New Yorker, born and raised and this restaurant is a disgrace to soho. I will NEVER go back here.

The Felix Café has been a feature of New York for 28 years and is a magnet for expat Frenchmen. We chose pate de compagne and poule paillaut - both excellent, followed by perfect tarte tartin and creme brulee. The staff were quite un-Parisian in the warmth of their welcome and their attention to the customers. A smattering of french went a long way. Mondays are quiet, but quite packed from Wednesday onwards, we understand.

Everyone say that it’s a good restaurant, but it isn’t the service is the worst and u can’t even pay by credit card, the check it’s vero high, you’ll pay a botte of water 10$ and the tip it’s obbligatory of the 20%, but i replay the service it’s not good

This French restaurant is in Soho. The place has a lovely atmosphere with great service. Food was good - we had some tasty mussels with a great French wine.

noisy,but fun for lively lunch. very tight quarters. very crowded. lots of locals and tourists. fast service. very very casual. polite servers and host. food was average. nice location.

This place is only for those looking to drink great wine, enjoy a party atmosphere, and eat French food The place turns into a top-notch party on Sundays - Takes Sunday Funday to a new level This place is a staple in my repertoire

I was going to leave an unsatisfied review about the food and service but instead it has changed into a warning. When you use your American Express card - which Felix does accept, pay attention to the charges. My partner's card was overcharged and the management at Felix were completely blasé about it as if this has happened before. For quality French dining of comparable costs without the b.s., I'd recommend Balthazar.

The atmosphere was great! Try to snag a table in the windows, with a street view. It was much to busy when we went and we did not want to wait for one to open up. Make reservations! I made them, but had to change the time last minute and did not want to make a big deal. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! the chef came out and greeted a few people in the main area. It was a great atmosphere and we will be going back!

Felix Brasserie has been a staple of soho and French cuisine as well as French football for decades ... It’s not only a classic of French cuisine and French Fun but also a beacon in our community Felix Is like a family member you like to visit when you need to be truly restored .. In a recent visit where the chill of The season will freeze even your bones i pushes the bistro doors and asked Jeff the Bar tender for an onion soup one of my favorite here but He suggested instead la soupe du jour country vegetables and poulet organic prepared by the maestro himself Chef Pierre Landet who has reinvented the cuisine here since 2012. I love it and I believe you will too The service is friendly and professional the food is consistently great I give this bistro a 4 Pascalpicks rating and recommend you do yourself if in in soho for lunch and dinner and if you want dance and have fun go there on Brunch you will be amazed . Bon appétit

Simply does not live up to the hype. Heard about this place from our hotel, booked for our group as pre evening drinks & bite. They acted like we were annoying them as soon as we arrived (we had pre-booked days before but they had oversold and did not have space so had to get a sh1tty make-shift table together for us). The staff actually said “ugh s**t it’s a group” to each other in front of us. The wait staff were rude and pushy, the food is very average pub food and the drinks were watery bin-juice. The bill was excessive for crap food, service & drinks & they applied a huge tip into our bill at checkout without giving us the option. The space itself it beyond old, not cool ‘French/nyc old school bistro’; but old crap decor, desperately needs an update & clean (and change of attitude) They must survive on the “you occasionally see celebs there” which people seem to throw around. Don’t waste your time or money, this is not a chic or sexy experience at all.

This brasserie-type restaurant is unpretentious, fun with a good brunch and great service. If you feel like having a bit of fun (music is blasting but not in an obnoxious way), this place serves good traditional brunch dishes, has a decent wine list and will not break the bank.

Nice music, international crowd, nice cocktails and food. If you are looking for an easy funny sunday brunch, go to Felix. Also very nice vintage decor and friendly staff. Truly reccomended! 🎉🎉🎉

We had brunch here with others, and cannot criticize the restaurant, but it was not what we wanted. It is fairly typical of europe, but there was not a healthy choice on the menu. One of of ordered a goat cheese salad, which was tiny despite not being advertised as a side. One of us had a burger, which was overcooked (well, not medium) and in European fashion, a diet coke came out in a "rocks" glass-sure that refills would be by the "each". Everything was served with fries (sorry, frites). Really wanted toast, scrambled eggs, maybe yogurt, but it this is what you are in the mood for they do a good job. Just wondering if the staff in a fairly fancy place should be wearing t shirts?

Its a must in NYC! Great place, amazing food and lovely service! Tuna tartare has been my fauvorite for years!

Felix was one of my favorite restaurants for Sunday's brunch when I used to live in NYC I actually returned often when I was visiting NY Today I am in NY and I had all my family and I insisted to go to Felix and : what a disappointment!! The services was very average : the waiter was blunt. I asked to add mushrooms to my omelette and He answer ' we serve things here the way they are but I can pass the request to the chef' Really ??? Mushrooms ? Our cappuccino tasted 'foamy milk' so I order a double espresso to mix it and off course that would make a $8 cappuccino. And when the bill came : No credit cards !! Only AMEX, what? That's new ! Specially when our bill for 2 eggs Benedict one omelette (spinach and thanks god some mushrooms) 2 mimosas 1 hamburger and 2 cappuccinos was $172 dollars WOW ! I live in Bermuda and high prices don't impress me when I travel but this bill and cash threw me out !! I have to stars because my spinach and mushrooms omelette really 'hit the spot' Unfortunately : this is the last time I will go to Felix where I visit NY and I won't recommended to my friends either ! Sorry ! It's a new owner ?

Ok let's start with the positive... the situation is cool. But service was rude, food was under average and soon expensive. The staff had a meeting in the middle of the restaurant and start to be very nervous.. mood was terrible. There is plenty of wonderful small restaurant all around to avoid this terrible one (Lucky Strike just in front in 10x better and 10x cheaper for exemple).

We've lunched here a couple of times now, usually before catching our flight home. It has an authentic look and feel but you definitely know you are in New York and not Paris. The menu replicates the typical NY interpretation of a French brasserie and everything we've had has been good - pate, entrecote frites, confit of duck etc being our usual choices. Just be warned it gets very busy and they are cash only, the bathrooms open immediately into the restaurant also (but that seems OK in NY) ... But it's a great place to eat in the summer when the patio windows are open and they have a few tables outside.

Deplorable welcome, sanitary in a deplorable state. 3 stella Artois bottle for 40 dollars. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

Been there some days ago with my husband as we were staying at the Soho Grand and it’s one block away. The service is really bad, we ordered the starters and never came, the waiters were not nice at all, the main courses were not good, and the Tarte Tatin was not good either.It was expensive and when we were going to pay, only American Express or cash accepted !!! Never again

The meal was pretty good but a bit expensive. The service was OK. However, they only accepted American Express card or cash!!! I could not believe that happening in the US, especially in a place like NYC. That is an old fashion way to pay in 2016....unless the owner has a deal with American Express. Obviously, there is a cash machine inside the restaurant and that could be another way for the owner to make extra profit... The presence of Brazilian and French flags outside the restaurant is confusing in terms of the identity of the place, considering the food is mostly French.

Walked by and stopped in for lunch with my mom and we had a horrible experience. We had meant to go to La Sirene (which is amazing) but didn’t realize they weren’t open yet so came here instead. The host, who was also our waiter, was rude from the beginning, getting angry when I asked for a minute to look at the menu before ordering and not coming back for almost 10 minutes. He then proceeded to ignore us for another 20-30 minutes; every other table had gotten their food already and we hadn’t even gotten our bread yet. When we asked about it he simply said he’s busy and threw down a bread basket but no plates. Our food came and I realized they had completely forgotten my mom’s request for a salad instead of fries. When it was time to go I asked for my order to be packed to go. We waited a few minutes only to be informed that the guy actually threw out all of our remaining food. Someone else who I assume is the boss had an order remade for me, which was probably the only positive thing from our entire experience here. Also the duck confit is extremely dry.

I went here for lunch today. I was very unimpressed. The service was poor. The food was OK but overpriced. Five dollars for a small watered down glass of pop seemed a bit much. They do not take Visa or MasterCard although we were not told of this at any point until the end of the meal. Plenty of better restaurants to choose from in Soho

We went as a couple on our previous trip to NYC and had to visit again as it is such a great place to eat. We went with friends on New Year's Day this time. The place was full to the seams as expected. But the welcome was still friendly and the food superb. A great place to watch the world go by or chat with friends. A bonus if you are a sexy and the city fan is that it was used in one episode which is cool.

We visited here whilst staying at the Soho Grand in February as it was snowing and we didn't want to venture too far. When we walked in we were greeted in French so I replied in French and spent the rest of the night having a truly authentic French Bistro experience speaking entirely in French! I had the Moules which were delicious and my husband was really happy with his steak. Wine was pretty expensive but all imported wine seems to be in New York. The restaurant was full despite the snow so I can imagine that when the weather is better you'd have to book in advance.

This adorable restaurant makes you feel as though you are in France. Fabulous food and people watching. Sunday brunch delicious and fun.

French bistro style, good food, Oysters, lobster, moules, the whole,range of typical French bistro food served in lively atmosphere, nice service, cool, busy, but also noisy

I’m not sure why the negative reviews on service. We were there on a Thursday night and the service was fine. The food was also good. I would certainly go back again.

Everything about Felix, is like a return to every casual French Bistro that You've ever visited in France. From the escargot, to the cassoulet, to the Creme Brûlée, everything is delicious. The chef/owner, Pierre Landet, is always in the kitchen, and has a welcoming and warm personality. The Wines are wonderful, and the atmosphere matches. A drop pricey, but worth every penny. Located in the charming section of Soho, in Manhattan, after a day of strolling, Felix is the place to wind up! Enjoy

This restaurant has been here for many years and has it's following. Family members had recommended it as a downtown favorite and I made a first visit there with them. We ordered from the brunch menu while sampling a presentable cheese board which was supported by more than sufficient tasty, fresh bread. People enjoyed their salads and hamburger but I have to say the Smoked Salmon Omelet was a disappointment. Trying to eat the omelet with a knife and fork was barely possible due to the structure of this omelet. The eggs had been cooked and once cool, chunks of very, repeat very salty smoked salmon were dropped on the surface before the eggs were folded over. The result was that the salmon and eggs were seperate and the lumps of fish just dropped off the fork. In most cases the contents added to an omelet are either mixed in with the eggs then cooked or folded in while the eggs are soft. At Felix they are not. Not only was the fish extremely salty but to add insult the coffee ordered with the omelet failed to appear. The server had to be hunted down before that happened. This is also an extremely loud venue so do not expect to hear anyone at your table unless you are sitting next to them.

Some of the food looked really nice, but the salad was very plain. Not a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. Also very crammed and noisy. Impossible to hear someone over the noise. Average restaurant.

Happy to find is little gem on a cold & rainy day. Nothing a bowl of mussels and glass a vino can't fix.

It's the perfect place for brunch with friends on Sunday, great music, mimosas and the food is pretty good, they have good selection of oysters

Have had mixed reviews about Felix. Food has been pretty good when we have eaten there and food was good this last time, service is just ok... A bit snobby. Close to hotel so its convenient. Just don't feel welcome when we eat there so it is usually last choice for us.

I just had by birthday here with a group of 10. It was a Sunday brunch. The menu was ideal and the staff very friendly. Good choice of wines and when the weather is warm the resaturant opens the floor to ceiling glass doors. Nice fun atmosphere in the place leading to a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

For a steak tartare, pichet rouge, baguette and the real French touch Felix is the place for lunch or dinner.. Each time in town we make a plan to go for lunch or dinner at Felix. Living in France I find it hard to find an equivalent around us that offers such a constant quality and service.

Read TA reviews and decided upon this place. Booked ahead of time, thank goodness! Showed up for 1930 and they placed us at a nice window table. The maître D was interesting, aloof etc., but that didn’t dampened our excellent evening. We ordered a nice bottle of Gigondas, the striploin steak with scallop potatoes and bone marrow and the dick with its foie gras! All was fantastic, and the atmosphere was great. Many ex-pats that didn’t make you feel like they owned the place. The service was also very good. Highly recommended for adults only on the evening.

I found Felix perhaps 25 years ago. Then, SoHo was sketchy, not trendy. So glad this early outpost has lasted as the area has become overly gentrified and pricey. Felix was there long before the Soho Grand was built just around the corner and started to turn the area around. Believe me, it was a destination back then that I had to make friends go with me to check out. All of them have had an excellent time. Here is a secret that I hate to give out, but if you do this and don't have an excellent experience, it is your fault, and I have no idea what you are looking for in a restaurant experience. Go on a Sunday morning when the weather is nice, arrive at least 15 minutes if not 30 before the restaurant opens, usually around 11a or 11:30a (check website for current time) Be the first or second in line, and when Felix opens, get a table by one of the many windows where the tall French doors will be opened to the street for the day. Though I know this is a Belgian restaurant, if you love Paris, you will feel as close to being in Paris as anywhere else in NYC. Service is almost always excellent, but on occasion, the waitstaff may have had a late night or a personable problem and what should take five minutes, takes 10. Again, just as in any good Paris bistro. All the more the charm, and nothing that a perfect cup of coffee or champagne can't remedy. I love its idiosyncrasies. The food... It is hard for me not to get les moules frites (mussles, fries) for an indulgent Sunday breakfast/lunch. I likely have had this 80% of the time. When I have strayed from this favorite, I've found they serve the perfect salad niçoise, salmon over lentils, and many other excellent fish dishes and specials. Beer and wine selection is excellent. And having secured my perfect window seat open to the street, I'm there to watch the rest of NY wake and eventually stroll by our window on the street. I'm usually there till 2p or 2:30p, feeling no rush by the staff to turn a table. By the time I leave, the lines are long, the wait is long, and those coming in are antsy to get their food and quickly dash of to the newest shopping or art space in SoHo. For me, I've had the perfect leisurely Sunday morning/early afternoon, and am then ready to stroll through SoHo knowing I've already had a perfect day, and anything else is gravy. So there, my secret for the perfect Sunday morning / Felix day. I'm almost sorry I've shared this, but they've given me such pleasure doing this for so many years, I couldn't help but to. Again, if you're the type that goes to Paris and are put off by the occasional quirkiness of a great restaurant, keep your money and go to a 5☆ upper east side. It will be boringly perfect. If you like good food, excellent bistro cuisine, casual atmosphere, street ambience, and can relax, take in, and enjoy life, this is my secret to you. Wish I were there now.

The location of the restaurant and the semi outdoor seating (in the summer) was what brought us to Felix Cafe. My husband and i walked in and we got a table. Service was very rushed, the host or manager were screaming in french with the other french moroccan group and all in all, the experience was very average. The food was okay. We left after an entree and wine and did not bother to stay for dessert.

I have been to Felix with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon. It's definitely the best and coolest Bruch place in New York!

the place is nice and everything but I was a bit surprised that the waiter on Saturday (day time-not very busy time) added gratuity for 2 beers for 2 people. That's something that no respectable place would do.

Had reservations for dinner for eight. We were seated immediately. The food was excellent and the service was very good. Don't forget it's cash or Amex only.

Good atmosphere and helpful, quick servants. We were here with a group of 8 from work for a very late lunch. Sadly, the salad Lyonnais was kind of terrible. The croutons were like rocks, that hardened they were.

A happening Soho Cafe! Great French based food, full bar, and excellent vibe. It is vibrant and happening without being too loud. You can still hold a conversation. The food is excellent although a bit over-priced for what it is. Service is excellent and the wait was acceptable. Only down side is they only take Am-Ex as their credit card of choice. Plus side they have an ATM if you don't have enough cash on you. Well worth the visit.

Visited on Sunday for brunch with the family. Great food and service. Best caipirinha in NYC!! Would defiantly go again. Make sure to reserve as the place gets very busy

Went there tonight with my friend. Everything went ok until the waiter thought appropriate to tell us that we basically didn't leave enough tip. We had split the bill in two and he asked if we left the tip only on one half of the bill?? He was very serious, I told him we were not from the US and are not familiar with tiping practice, he said he is not from the US either (he's French) and the appropriate tiping would be 15 to 20%. Now, they may live on tips in the US but no one needs to be rude about it. My friend and I have worked in hospitality for years and never ever have experienced such remarks. After that I actually felt like removing the tip we left but it was too late. They don't deserve the clientele with such attitude, so many other lovely restaurants in the area. Service was ok but nothing special. Don't bother.

Food was good. Had salmon and some appetizers. Service a bit slow and host a bit arrogant. Great location. Expect $100 per person with drink. Seating a bit cramped but it's NYC in soho. Indifferent as to a must go place.

I have not written a review here in quite some time but this restaurant was so poor in service I was compelled to. Please note this restaurant is cash and American Express only. Please tell them in advance should you want your bill split. Food was good. Server was indifferent to us (no water offered, knew I was looking for a pasta dish but never offered up the daily pasta as an option for me). When asked about the meals just said they were good, no effort to explain how anything was prepared or done. Menu clearly states 20% gratuity for 6 or more but nothing about an 18% tip for a table of four. Server added 18% tip for himself to our bill. It was removed when we asked about it. No apologies for not being able to split our bill. We did not notice the AMEX / Cash only note on the menu and server could have cared less. Probably happens all the time and gets tired of explaining it too patrons.

⁠⁠After hearing so many great things about Felix, we decided to celebrate my sister’s birthday there! There was a large group of 17 of us and they seated us after having to wait for a long time. We found a large plastic piece in our eggs Benedict and a piece of hair in our pitcher of mimosa! So we called the manager and she was not apologetic at all. She quickly moved the plate away so that other guests would not see what happened! The waiter was being very apologetic but very inappropriate by touching and kissing our hand which was very disrespectful. Moreover, while we were seated, the manager moved the table away from us so she could seat other guests. Once we informed her that we were still being seated she condescendingly shouted, "do you want the whole restaurant?!" Soon after, the waiter bought the cheque because they intended to make us leave. Terrible food, terrible staff and terrible experience and dishonest service. Highly disappointed!

Great place in the Soho district fell upon here whilst shopping,glad we did champagne,cocktails (although they were not the best) and a great meat and cheese board,would return here as good vibes and attentive staff,average prices for NYC

This is an enormously popularb restaurant and rightly so. The location and ambience are first rate, the service excellent and the food is French (mostly) and very good as well as being good value in this expensive part of town. It was graduation week at NYU which may have added to its popularity but I thoroughly recommend it and probably best to book (if youcan - we just went in on the off chance)

Firstly, it's very telling of weather management is customer focused or not when they only accept American Express. No a huge issue but telling. I believe that you should want to make the customer experience exceptional and easy. Easy is simple accept what has become Tradional methods of payment. It's kinda like a no return policy in retail. I do have an American Express card but would of chosen not to use it. That rant being said; The food was average and the services just ok. I will not go back and recommend that you try one of the other amazing restaurants in the area.

Felix is always on our list when visiting New York. We made a reservation for brunch at 10am, since it used to be always packed. Arrived a little late and were surprised we were the only guests on a Saturday! We got a nice table and ordered food and drinks, which arrived promptly, but staff was not very friendly, never smiled and only talked when asked. We felt like we were disturbing his otherwise peaceful Saturday! More guests arrived later, but the place was still more than half empty when we left around 12 noon. I hope this gets better, otherwise we'll have to skip Felix in the future!

I've enjoyed Felix now for many years and appreciate their continuity in a neighborhood where shops and restaurants roll over quickly once they are no longer the newest face on the block. Brunch continues to be a fun and raucous time at Felix but dinner the other night was a bit lackluster and for the price, that wasn't what I expected. One of us had the bouillabaisse, and it was quite good but the entrecote and the chicken were just OK and the presentation was sloppy. I couldn't recommend this to anyone in a city full of fine restaurants. The final straw, they only accept Amex or cash, the latter handy in their fee-charging ATM. Really??!!

Made reservations for a saturday New York Brunch. Because of the beautiful weather, all windows were open, which gives the place a very nice atmosphere. Simple dishes were nice, wine was good. Reservation is recommended, the place was packed!

One of those frenchy American places you find in Soho. Always packed on a sunny day, good service, nice wine selection, good food - overall very pleasant.

Dined here this evening. Sat down at 8.45, order taken immediately which was good but food arrived literally within 2 minutes. In fact I thought they had given us somebody else’s order it was that quick! No time to even take a sip of our drink. Staff very brusque, then waiter gave us dessert menu. Then removed it without asking if we wanted anything. We did. So I called him back and gave our order. Also how ridiculous. They only take Amex or cash. It’s 2017!!! And we’re in the USA. So then I had to use their ATM and pay a 2.50 surcharge to withdraw money for the overpriced dinner!!! Steak was lovely so if waiters had been a little more hospitable I wouldn’t be writing this. Very poor and would not return. Also they add 20% service to the bill. And then didn’t return my change until I asked!

visited at 9PM - very clearly wanted to close up - salad was dull - wine was okay - place is a mess - bathroom clean - service not so good - but its French so we all cope

There are three reasons you like a restaurant/café, and no specific order 1) food, 2) service, 3) je ne said quoi — in the perfect place the three mix seamlessly as if meant to be, in others you have to decide on the moment where your heart (or stomach, or patience) lives. The Felix is one of those perfectly beautiful places you might over look in France because there are many, in NYC (or the US) not so much. It sits on the corner and all it's window take in the street world of Soho. I have visited this place multiple times over the years, I love to think and write here. I call it my "Yes, No, Yes Café" — food Yes, service No, ambiance Yes. So, unlike some, I ignore the service, which is generally pretentious, pompous and in an old French way, frustratingly annoying (even though most of the staff are not french.) But then I have always seen them as characters in a novel I will write, or a magazine piece I am sketching as I sit there. This is NYC, there are a million places to enjoy the service - enjoy the Felix for everything else.

We visited this restaurant on a sunny September afternoon and sat in the window taking in the views on Soho. Its is like you are sitting in a typical French Bistro, the round brown tables and chairs, the typical A3 Bistro Menus, even the Table D'Hote menu. We had just got off a flight from London so we made a selection of a number of starters and Mussells & Frites and shared the selection which was perfect. We washed it all down with 2 bottles of French Chablis. Perfect start to our weekend in New York. Was not cheap but considering it is in Soho and the position on the corner etc not surprised by the prices. People have mentioned the service, but our service was good because loads of staff working as Lunchtime on a Thursday. We did have a situation where the staff thought we had not given a big enough tip, so we increased this.

was an OK meal at Felix. Patrons do feel crammed in. Didn't like the way that as the restaurant got busier the music went louder and it became more difficult to chat. Food was tasty though -- maybe the wrong place for me

Went there for brunch at a friend's invitation and it was simply great. Service is very efficient but, above all, the food and desserts quality and taste were awesome. A must visit in Soho.

I went here on a Friday evening and the food was okay. Nothing refined, but if you’re going out with friends that’s not necessarily what you are looking for. A famous Michelin star chef once told me that service is as important, or even more so, than the work being done in the kitchen. And I agree! And how utterly amazed we were encountering the unbelievable rudeness and inattentiveness, we witnessed at Felix. And that in New York where service normally is impeccable. Even the worst service in Paris cannot compete with what we witnessed at Felix. So if you like to be badly treated, ignored, frowned upon and approached with uncalled arrogance, this is the place to go. I have checked other reviews and am afraid my experience wasn’t a one-off.

I really liked this place and the casual atmosphere. We got a table by the window wich was really nice considering the sunny weather. The staff was welcoming and polite and the food was really good. I can highly recommend it and i will definitly go back.

Dropped in without reservation on a Saturday night at 7pm and plenty of tables free. Nicely seated in a lovely atmosphere and not so hungry so the French onion soup, pate, and cheese plate appertizers were enough. Lovely food and nicely lit little French place although we entered assuming it was Brazilian due to the flags outside. Four waiters served us in total so not very personal so a lower rating than could have easily been achieved with the good food. Give it a try...

Nice bistro with good quality food and wine - we had tuna tartare and beef carpaccio for starters and roasted chicken and steam mussels for mains. While the food was good, we had a grumpy waiter attended to us. It was a nice, sunny and windy day - we were seated at a table which was near the door and hence the wind blew the paper table covering relentlessly. We mentioned this to the waiter a couple of times asking for a plate or heavy cutlery to keep the paper covering in place but the waiter didn't respond. When paying the bill, my husband politely asked to give feedback suggesting that in future, the paper table covering should be fastened to the table. Initially the waiter walked off mid feedback, when my husband repeated his feedback, the waiter mentioned "if you don't like it, too bad". It's a shame because we only wanted to give feedback and not put a damper to our experience.

I wanted to give a five star but our service was not that great. The food was excellent. Delicious, well cooked, great. But our waiter argued with us about something The menu stayed ( a simple salad ...didn't serve us what the menu stated even though we had a conversatation about it) and then proceeded to ignore us from that point forward. Ruined a perfect 5 star for us. We had to flag him down for everything from that point forward... From dessert to check etc. felt totally snubbed. We wanted this to be our new go to place since we stay at soho grande every week...

The food is not extraordinary but the fact that's been around for decades and always consistent in serving casual french bistro fare in NYC is amazing. I order mostly the classics like mussels, or tartare and can resist stopping by for just a mimosa anytime.

Nice music but expensive experience to be badly treated by the bartender! We were supposed to have foie gras and champagne, among other dishes but we were so badly served that we left the restaurant after the first drink. I do not recommend this place, there are lots of others French brasseries and bistrots nicer than this one, specially at SoHo. Disappointing experience!!

On Yelp this place has 2.5 Stars. Here it is one higher. Both ratings should be lower. There is a reason why this place has low ratings. Actually, this restaurant should be avoided at all times. It's not because of the food, but rather the people and the attitude that this place fosters. Very unpleasant experience here. Trust me on this one. There are many other places to dine in New York. Don't waste your time, your money, and your sanity.

This place is the worst I’ve ever been in New York!!! The staff is particularly rude (specially Tee), the food not good at all, the drinks SO expensive, and they’ve increased the prices since France won the World Cup... wouldn’t recommend it never ever!!!!

Leaving in the Bahamas it was nice to go to New York and have a French taste of food (beef tartare) at Felix Cafe. I recommend it

Came by Felix by chance and dropped in to experience a nice dinner. We had steak frites and both meat and fries were well prepared and good. Service was average but okey.

Worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. I can't even describe the rudeness of staff here. When we arrived they said to us they only take cash or AMEX that should have been a warning sign

Had a quick brunch here the other day and was ok with the indifferent service and tight quarters, but the food was bland and boring. Nothing to write home about...Soho has so much more to offer elsewhere.

Interesting evening. We got there early for our reservation. Not many tables were taken so we jumped in. We took a nice table in the corner and had actually a really good meal with pretty good service. Soup, salads, moules frites, steak and cassoulet were all quite good. Zero complaints... good service. Then it got interesting. We were sitting chatting and basically ready to go after a little over an hour and a half. We were the only ones left in the restaurant at 9 pm. 9 pm on a Thursday in manhattan. We hadn’t asked for a check and they hadn’t brought one. All evening in a French restaurant there had been Cuban music playing fairly loudly. Not sure why but it was good and festive so all good. Suddenly as were sitting there the lights get brighter and the music got louder. We looked at each other like did that really happen ? They haven’t brought us a check and it’s 9 pm and they are basically telling us to leave ? We chuckled. Then it got even brighter and louder and the staff was giving us the stink eye. Kind of amazing. Worth a chuckle. All they had to do was bring a check. On the other hand, super rude. So, neat spot. Good to really good food. Good service. Weird ending early in an evening. Had read one review earlier that said they were asked to leave after a certain amount of time. Similar to that I guess but did it through lights and blaring music vs handing us a check as we were already set to go.

Great location and vibe - awful service! Waited over 30 minutes for a drink while seated at the bar. Staff is more concerned with stocking the bar than waiting on customers. Instead of waiting on us, we were asked to move so that the server could get in a cabinet behind me.

Food was great and the atmosphere was cozy. I found the bar stool and bar area a bit uncomfortable. If you want to eat a table is more suitable . Over all great time though

Nice place great atmosphere if you're in mood for french food a good place to visit the food is nice wine list on the pricy side no much choice under $50 service pushi but will go back for the feel

One of my favourite restaurant. Excellent for lunch, especially during spring/summer with all windows open. Enjoy a glass of rose on the terrace while watching people walking down the streets of soho. Hip and trendy clientele, mostly European. Really busy Brunch on Sunday (make sure to have a reservation AND arrive early). After 4pm the brunch turns into something else (in the good way), be ready to make new friends and dance . For a quieter atmosphere, it is best to come for dinner during a week night. Insider tip: you can't go wrong with the steak frites. cash only or American express.

The Food was very good. The Service was very bad. They Only take AX or cash, such an inconvenient and antiquated policy.

We had a late night dinner after checking in to our hotel, following a long day of travel. We sat for around 10 minutes before our waiter came over and took a drink order. We never saw him again until I stopped him for a dessert menu. Our water glasses remained empty until I finally asked to have them filled. In addition, my husband never got the goat cheese salad he ordered. We asked for the check and noted that he had added a 20% gratuity to our party of 3. When questioned, Antonio stated that it was automatically added to every check. I pointed out that the menu said “party of 6 or more”. At that point, he said that he could take it off. I chose to leave it on the bill and write this review instead. I am a firm believer in Karma......

This place is garbage. A quintessential overrated, overpriced restaurant that just sees its customers as ATM's. We made a reservation in advance for 6 people. These people have the nerve to seat us over 30 minutes late, not bring half our order, and then pressure us to buy a magnum bottle of rose, which costs $300+ as there is a minimum. We said we would prefer to order individual drinks as no one wanted wine. They REFUSED to take our drink orders because we did not purchase a bottle. I went up to the manager and clearly told her we were not aware that there was a minimum at the table (the reservation didn't mention ANYTHING) OR that we were held accountable to order rose. She simply said "if you don't like it, then leave". And leave we did, leaving a 5% tip. Never going here again, and if you have any self respect, you won't either.

We were walking through SoHo wondering what to do for lunch when we came across this place. A classic French Bistro that seems to be staffed by people by everywhere other than France :-). A classic menu with things like Croque Monsieur and Steak Tartare among a range of other things that could be served in Paris or Marseilles, fast and efficient service, great decor and a funky sound track (remixed Bowie favourites was my top pick). Definitely enjoyed this un\expected find.

Had brunch here on a Sunday when temperature was about 65 degrees and doors were open. Quaint street felt like we were in a Paris bistro. The eggs benedict were delicious, mine had spinach instead of meat and the spinach was so flavorful. Two others had it with the Canadian bacon. The fries that came with it were crisp and perfectly done. We had bloody mary's served in short glass and the service and hostess were great. New favorite place!

Very good bistro type food. Service was average- great place of simple meal. They're never too busy, and it's very reliably good.

Popped in for an early dinner one Tuesday evening. The restaurant is located in the SoHo area of the city on West Broadway. The cafe has more of a Belgian feel than French, with moules and frites being prominent on the menu. I had a couple of Amstel light beers, six oysters, pan fried steak, fries and salad and a rum baba for dessert. The oysters and steak were fine, although the salad constituted some limp lettuce. The rum baba was some sponge, squirty cream and a jug of white rum provided as an afterthought for the price of $12. The beer was $10 per bottle and after including a tip, the bill was a fraction under $100. Whilst it's an unfair comparison, I could have bought 12 meals on a recent trip to Krakow for this solitary one in Felix Cafe.

We fell upon this place being near our hotel. Food is the best of French cuisine. It is not cheap but not ridiculously expensive and God value. Try and sit in the windows and watch the world go by. It gets lively as well with really good vibe. All in all a fun place to eat.

Felix is one of my favorite spots in New York, my "go-to" place when we are in SoHo, but yesterday was a big disappointment. The waiter was more interested in making a tip, than in paying attention to service. First off, when we asked for water he brought bottled water instead of tap. Then he added 18% to the check without informing us. Bad choice.

Good food. Excellent service. The only BIG problem is that they only accept American Express. It's another way to say we don't want tourists.

After hearing so many great things about Felix's Sunday brunch, we decided to celebrate my sister’s birthday there! There was a large group of 17 of us and they seated us after having to wait for a long time. We found a large plastic piece in our eggs benedict and a piece of hair in our pitcher of mimosa! So we called the manager and the waiters informed us that there were so ‘’on-site manager’’ and so they called the host. She spoke to us and was being very arrogant and not apologetic at all. She quickly moved the plate away so that other guests would not see what happened! The waiter was being very apologetic and very innappropriate by touching and kissing our hand which was very disrespectful. While we were seated, the host moved the table away from us so she could seat other guests and the waiter immediately brought the cheque because they intended to make us leave. Terrible food, terrible staff and terrible experience and dishonest service. Very dissapointed!

Was walking past earlier read the reviews thought it was worth trying for dinner. Did not make a reservation but they fitted us in anyway very snug had to move the table to seat you. Food was good both had the chicken and mashed potatoes and vegetables. Glass of wine was a bit over the top half the cost of dinner. Would like to give brunch a try.

This is the best brunch in New York! Crazy people good food and lot of fun thanks to Andres and Thea! You can taste really good french food in this sunny soho restaurant. Hope to coming back soon to celebrate on a Sunday Funday.

We had lunch here, 4 people total. The food was okay, nothing special or bad but expensive for my taste. I will say we're used to cheaper places in general and I'm assuming being in SoHo had its costs.

We went to brunch time. There's a lot of variety in the menu. We ordered everything very rich. On weekends there is a lot of atmosphere with local people. Good cocktails and mimosas. Great place to go for a weekend meal if you want to join the New York party.

I mean that in a nice way. Well spoken english girls with matching long blonde hair and flip flops enjoy brunch, well dressed Frenchmen, large Russian men with tiny girlfriends and Swedish brokers all mix for cocktails and banter in the evenings and at weekends. Nice when the doors are thrown open in staff. Disdainful staff really part of the charm.

Looking for somewhere nice and handy to our hotel Sheraton TriBeCa and found Felix. Had a nice chicken dish with seasonal vegetables. Flavours were delicious with fresh quality ingredients. Cost $24 plus tax per dish. Tables on one side of resturant are close together as they often do in Europe, which when full makes your dinner less private. Though there are plenty of tables that you could book that provide more space.

The food is not bad but the service is very bad and the price incredible high. And it accepts only american express. Please don t go where.

This FRENCH Brasserie produces magic and perpetuate traditions long forgotten by restaurants in general. On a special visit for the epiphany celebration we tried and rated 11 galettes des Rois from 11different bakeries in New York City . ( la durée, maison kaiser , dominique Ansel, Mille feuilles and more see the list ) the winner is Mille Feuilles bakery . Master chef Pierre Landet prepared a pot au feu with beef bone marrow and a house made foie gras fit for Kings . Once a year you should do yourself this favor . Felix has been around for over 25 years gifting us with all kinds of gifts like the Magi Kings , soccer world cups and crazy dancing brunches that feels like Carnaval all year around . Thank you Felix we all love you PascalPicks *****

After waiting 10 minutes to be served and visiting the toilet that absolutely stunk! We should have gone with our instincts and left! The food was as tasteless as the experience. Avoid avoid avoid! Not sure why they insist on cash or Amex? Had it been perfect, it would still be overpriced. An embarrassment to France!

I love Sunday brunch here. The atmosphere is noisy, yet wonderful. Food is excellent. Location central to SoHo. Great bloody marys and friendly staff. That said, there are a few things you must do to get the most out of the experience. 1. Show up at 12-12:15. No wait then. After 12:15, you could be waiting an hour or more. 2. Expect poor service from the wait staff. They will not come to your table, but will hang out at the bar. Just know this going in. Don't worry about it, flag down a busboy and he'll help you if you need help. It's part of the experience, so go in knowing about it and don't let it annoy you. You are there for the atmosphere and the food, which is exceptional. Enjoy the food. 3. Don't show up before noon on a Sunday, or the blue laws in NYC will mean you can't be served a drink until noon, and what's brunch without a bloody mary or a glass of prosecco?

Felix is well known brasserie type restaurant/bar in Soho. It draws a young and hip crowd, especially on weekends. Visit this place if you are in Soho and like a lively environment, nice bar and satisfying food.

A strange place which was up the road from our hotel. We walked in off the street and it was fairly busy on Saturday night. A bit of thin cheap steak and a mound of thin cut chips was ok. Bottle of Bordeaux was undrinkable. A bit expensive for what we had. Staff were confused but friendly.

If you like French and a cafe with a great SoHo feel the. Felix meets the brief, the food was exceptional and the service was great, food came out quickly great tasting, great value and a fantastic wine list Would definitely visit again

Dropped by for a Friday night dinner and the service and food was as good as always. Fantastic atmosphere and music which made the evening a joy. Typically good fun guests fill the place and this is what makes Felix special. The staff are also a joy, if not sometimes a little quick on the service!

Felix is always accommodating to larger groups. We were there for nearly 3 hours. Steak frites as good as ever and a good selection of reasonable priced food.

We were 5 girls and the woman who was in the entrace decided that one of us can’t go into the bar, without any explication. It was incredible, she was really annoyed so would not recommend it to anybody.

Was told about this place by a friend who suggested i went, given that she knew i was saying in Soho. I wasn't disappointed. Its good food at a not too outrageous price. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely come back when staying in that area again.

A long time regular to Felix also here the overall quality is nor the same anymore.. we had the feeling that the staff ( management ) would not care less if you were happy here or not.. next time?? To be seen

Felix came highly recommended to us from a local friend. The location, proud, and the salmon omelette were impeccable. The not so bright spot is how they operate. We had reservations for 4, but wouldn't allow us to sit until all 4 where there. The other 2 were 30 minutes late and they gave away our reservation. We waited for 30 minutes, were seated, and having a good time, enough to order another pitcher of mimosas, but were told we couldn't and that it was time to pay out, that our table was for another reservation. A $200 tab that was on its way up was asked to leave. The kicker, they only accept Amex and cash, really? They however and conveniently have an ATM machine in the restaurant. Loved the place, but left unfulfilled.

I always make it a point to come to felix each time I visit NY. Sometimes would be here 3 days in a row. The brunch is good. The staff, especially a beautiful, wonderful and bubbly lady named Thea, will make you feel right at home. At night it becomes a lively bar that never ceases to amaze me.

This French Bistro scores high in atmosphere Rose wine pouring from magnum , capirinhia,mojito youth millennial and international crowd to support their respective team during thisRussia World Cup A must visit if you are in town. The bistro fare prepared by chef Pierre Landet , are well excuted and feature classic such as the cassoulet or famous Steak frites salad I recommend if you a carnivore . The menu is well balanced the service inefficient given staff as to navigate in a sea of supporters Félix is Fun and a stapler of soho forover25 years Vive les Bleus! PascalPicks

Overhyped scene. Rude hostess who is clearly overwhelmed. Showed us to a table for 2 that was missing a chair. Took too long to get the chair. Too long to take our order. Too long to bring the water. Had to ask for more water three times. Food is fine but def not great - lots of better brunch places. Not sure why it’s so popular. Or why they take so many reservations when they are clearly overwhelmed by the onslaught.

I totally love this place. I use to come here many years ago when I lived in NYC, and I came back this year for a Sunday brunch to confirm that it still is as nice as I remembered it. I came with a bunch of friends, but we did not have a reservation and we almost did not find a place to seat, because the place is packed specially on Sundays. I ordered the steak tartar which I totally recommend.

Good food (omelettes, French toast, eggs bénédicte, etc) overall. Price ok. Service is average, nice but you have to ask for water and get their attention even though there was more staff than customers. Would de nice if they were more proactive especially for US standards.

We had a very rude waiter. We stopped in for lunch to get out of the heat. There was 1 air conditioner which didn't seem like it was working. They played the music so loud we couldn't hear each other talking. We accidentally forgot to mention a food allergy to the waiter. So, when he brought my wife's salad she was allergic to the dressing. We told him he rudely told us he only brought what we ordered and if we wanted another we would have to pay for it. At over 20$ for a salad, we said no thank you. 10 minutes later he came back out and just plopped the plate down and said "here's your salad , no dressing". Would never recommend this place to anybody

Went here on my own, and had a reasonably priced steak frites. Staff were attentive and friendly. I was here with work and lost my receipt, so I emailed them a few days later - they couldn’t have been any more helpful in replacing it. I’d go again if I was in New York

We were a group of 15 people, there for a friends birthday. This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Food SUCKED: the omelet was watery, the salad was NOT fresh. The drinks were somewhat okay. The service was good ONLY by Mohammed who was super sweet, but the manager treated us like we were outcasts just because we didn't speak French / were a big group. To start off, a friend got her omelet with a nice big piece of plastic in it, which she found while cutting through to take a bite. She could've choked on it. To make up for that mess, they gave us a free bottle of rose. Alright, cause that makes up for almost killing my friend. After that, we found a guys hair in one of our Mimosa pitchers, and when we told the server, he said "you can mess with the food but not with the drinks" indicating that we put in the piece of plastic in the dish and we dropped the hair into the drink to get free stuff. We let it go cause we didn't want to argue/create a scene on a friends birthday, and we promptly asked for the cheque. After being there for 2 hours and ordering enough food/drinks for about $1000, the manager, Tia, came up to the same friend who found a piece of plastic in her food, and started yelling (almost verbally abusing) her telling us we need to leave and we can't order any more drinks because they needed the table for other people. We would've totally understood and left had she been nice and told us in a more mature and calm way. It was disgusting the way she treated my friend, and the attack came out of nowhere!! Overall, the worst experience i've had at a restaurant in New York. Felix, you need a new manager with a sense of etiquette, who knows how to treat customers properly.

There was a bug in my friends drink and the waiter was like “what do you want me to do about it?” and was absolutely rude to us for no reason and refused to get her a new drink. I was like “do you expect her to drink the rest of it?” And he was like “she already has been.” while there was more than half of the drink still left. He was disgustingly rude. Don’t go here. Bugs. Horrible service.

We grew a habit of going to Felix right after we arrive in the city. The last time I remember having steak tartare and this time I went for pork chops. Both are very good! But I think I liked the chops better :) my husband has the steak sandwich every time and he seems to enjoy himself. Tarte tatin was also yummy if you like dessert.

This was without doubt the worse service experience we have ever had. Our waiter was inattentive, defensive, argumentative,and incredibly arrogant.......French arrogant. My steak was grossly over cooked but our waiters concern and flippant attitude was more gross. My tip was $00.00 and I usually tip 20-25%.

My wife likes her morning coffee hot. The coffee was barely warm and the cups were tiny, in my opinion. I ordered Salmon Benedict, but got Eggs Benedict instead. I told waiter but did not ask to have my order corrected, since I did not want to wait. There was an unusually large number of flies in this restaurant. Staff seemed indifferent to me, but appeared to be very friendly to their repeat customers. There were plenty of customers watching sports when we left, so this place is very popular.

Wow - I see some reviewers have had a real bummer here. So far I am pleased to say this has not been our experience. We usually stay at the Soho Grand so this is like a neighborhood local and that is what is - a reliable , down home , local bistro. Typically we go for brunch or lunch and have always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and easy dining. The spicy lamb sausage / salad nicoise / steak tartare / tuna tartare , to name a few , have always been on the money in terms of both quality and price. So - nothing special - just a pleasant , easy going type of bistro - gear your expectations accordingly and you should not be disappointed .

Restaurant Felix is quite famous and the chef tries to keep the good reputation. We shared a huge steak for two and some red wine. The steak was very good, just the way we asked for. The service was a little bit slow, however it was very crowded at that time. The place was kind of noisy, but not above a reasonable limit.

We had an excellent lunch in this very crowded and lively restaurant in Soho. The omelettes and the steak tartare were superb and so was the wine. It is quite high priced, but overall acceptable. Except for 2 things: how can you charge $20 for 2 bottles of water (still+sparkling) and how is it possible that they do not accept MasterCard nor Visa! I can pay really everywhere with these cards, but not here as Felix sticks to AmEx. That's a shame (but can be easily solved...).
