Ok. Good drinks, great view. Service was fine. Drinks came quickly but I suspect it's because it was dead quiet. Now admittedly it was pretty late but there were only 2 other tables. There's a smaller lounge bar on the mezzanine level that was more fun and cozy, but if you want a view I guess this is it. read more

Felix - Modern European Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Uber modern, uninterrupted views (even from the bathroom), my yuzu mule was tasty! $188 HKD per drink. No wait at 11:30pm on a Tuesday night in April. It was last call soon so we just got a drink. There was just one more table left at that time. read more

Fun experience at sunset watching harbor lights and having an amazing 4 course meal + wine pairing We sat in the bar windowside where technically the dinner menu wasn't available. But the staff accommodated by allowing us to stay and provided superb service without feeling rushed. It was a small investment but memorable and I'll be back. read more

(Prices mentioned in this review are in HKD, divided by 7.75 would convert to USD) We wanted to have an afternoon tea at the Lobby of the Peninsula Hong Kong, which is believed to have set the standard of all afternoon tea in Hong Kong. Being an Art Basel VIP, Daughter warned us that there were Art Basel activities at the Peninsula that day. Thinking that the activities would not have affected the afternoon tea, the 3 of us went anyway. Upon arrival, we were politely told by a lady staff member that for that particular day, afternoon tea would be at their Felix Restaurant on the 28th floor, as the Lobby was occupied with Basel activities. (Daughter did go back in that evening for a complimentary lush Basel VIP opening buffet that spanned several rooms)! The same lady kindly led us to the elevator and pressed the button for us, sending the 3 perplexed people up to Felix. As we were settling down at Felix, disappointment soon turned into happiness again! We had a table with a nice view of the magnificent Victoria Harbor! The restaurant was modern and chic with high ceiling. That probably was a more ideal venue for an afternoon tea in our opinions! Staff were friendly and attentive, as expected. I asked about the portraits of people that were featuring on each of their chair back covers, a server named Maya enthusiastically answered me that they were the valuable employees of the Peninsula. She pointed to the chair that I was facing, and said that the man had worked at the bar for more than 50 years! How interesting! On to the afternoon tea itself. I had the Flowery combination tea, Daughter had the Spiced combo, Hubby had the Oolong Chinese tea, and we were all happy with our choices. Daughter's and my tea had a very nice aroma, and the servers kept all the teapots filled continuously. There was a complimentary tuna in sesame cone for each of us, that was savory and good. The food tower was filled with all 3 orders. The lowest tray had 6 warm raisin scones, which were delicious with strawberry jam and clotted cream. The middle tray with a variety of finger sandwiches actually lacked luster to us. We felt that there was nothing special about those sandwiches, especially the cucumber ones. The savory treats could have been more innovative, at least more different varieties would have been nicer. The top tray desserts were the stars of the meal! Each dessert was crafted with care that looked and tasted good. We had leftovers of 2 scones and 2 pear cheesecakes to take home, and the server gladly packaged those for us in a nice box and bag. Overall, it was a delightful experience and we enjoyed the afternoon tea. Interestingly, it costs a lot less than that in the Peninsula Chicago. Just for your information, there is a minimum charge of HK$350 per person for afternoon tea at the Peninsula. However, afternoon tea for 2 is HK$918, for 1 is HK$528. So, if you don't share, you can exceed the minimum charge without any problems. Also, 10% service charge is standard for restaurants in Hong Kong. read more

This is a good place to go. If you're looking for a fancy and pretentious experience. Food is very intentional, the service is very personable and accommodating. we were seated in almost a private area in the corner table, looking out at the buildings across the way, and were able to enjoy the light show. The only thing that we didn't appreciate was how long it took all the courses to come out. We were almost there for three hours. The chef utilizes minimal, and delicate flavors in their creation, and maybe underwhelming for some but others may appreciate the little notes in every dish. read more

Felix Bar is a great way to enjoy the view of the Hong Kong skyline across the harbor. Given that I was here during the winter holidays, there were a lot of beautiful Christmas lights to gaze at. Coming after dark is best for city lights. The bar is very intimate and spots at the large picture window are at a premium so arrive early to ensure you get a seat. If you are scared of heights or have vertigo, prepare yourself because you are very high up and seated very close to the window. The backless stools and counter built at an angle are not the most comfortable for extended periods but I guess that's how they get people in and out quickly! My drink was good.. Free bar snacks were good. The food we ordered was so so. The band playing in the restaurant across the way wasn't bad. I thought the bar patrons were going to be pretty dressed up as the hotel used to be one of the most high end in Hong Kong. But there did not appear to be a dress code and people next to me had sneakers and hoodies on. So if you are worried about attire, don't sweat it. And if you have bulky items, ie. coats, you can check them with the hostess as space in Felix Bar is limited. There is a restroom attendant. I am not sure if you are supposed to tip this person or not, but I am forewarning you in case you want to tip them, bring some change. I rarely carry my purse to the restroom so I always feel bad when I am surprised by an attendant and have no money to tip with. read more

Felix - great view - Modern European Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Lucky me! I get an invitation to Felix most times when in HKg! The champagne flows, small plates arrive and empty plates disappear. You can ask to charge your phone and willingly it's done with a claim check! The champagne, cuisine, and impeccable service is fabulous. Did I mention the view from Kowloon to Hong Kong? Go at 20:00 to catch the lights! read more

Felix - Modern European Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

A purely amazing restaurant experience! I booked an opening seating for Felix restaurant, during my stay at the Peninsula. I came an hour before opening to have a drink and small plate at the "American" bar. The drinks were good (considering I'm not an alcohol drinker) and the food was tasty. We were seated upon opening and made our orders. The waiter was friendly and spoke flawless English. He was friendly, professional, and helpful. The food came out at a fair pace and tasted amazing. Each course was cooked to perfection. The desert was different, but ok, overall. I would recommend this place to others looking for a great view, experience, and food. I hope that one day I will be able to come back! An interesting tidbit, before I close: The chair backings are covered in portraits of previous chefs and employees. They're not just random people! read more

I visited Felix when I went to Hong Kong in 2005, and have remembered it all these years for its tremendous bathroom. My mother and I both found it exceptional, and have brought it up between ourselves several times in the last decade. When we made a family trip back to Hong Kong last month, we made a point of going back and seeing if the bathroom held up. We stopped in for a drink after dinner on a Wednesday night, and the place was more or less dead. The space was impressive, with a lovely panoramic view of Hong Kong, and attractively decorated, if a bit less hip than I remembered. Service was generally fine. Our bartender was pleasant enough. There was some kind of dress code in place, though, and despite the complete absence of other customers at the bar, the manager bounced my little brother--not because he was seventeen, but because he was wearing shorts. My mom ended up taking him to the Peninsula lobby to wait while the rest of us got a round, as long as we were there. The cocktails were surprisingly silly and unsophisticated for a fancy hotel bar, with lots of fruity vodka drinks and not a lot in the way of whiskey of any kind. The bartender seemed to take his drink making seriously, but I can't even imagine a place this expensive serving Felix's cocktail menu in the States. We have to be grateful for the legacy of Prohibition over here, I guess. I got the Sunset Swizzle, which was a tequila drink with Campari, lime, grapefruit juice, and cinnamon spices. It was fine. I also tried sips of the Bittersweet Bee--gin, vermouth, amaro, grapefruit oils--and the Blueberry Bellini--champagne with white peach and blueberry purée. Both okay, but nothing I'd want to order again. The bar nuts were good. There was something spicy in there. My mom and I made sure to check up on that bathroom, and even that didn't quite hold up in memory. It was a nice one, though, with a really cool sink and a pretty view. When we left the Peninsula, a hotel employee informed us that only guests were allowed to try to get taxis from the driveway. This seemed rude and unnecessary and I ended up feeling pretty over the whole Felix experience. My affection for this place really faded with a second visit. I should've just left it in 2005 where it belonged. read more

I'd like to say that I'd *discovered* Felix Bar on one of my first trips to Hong Kong, but one visit and you'll know it's not true. Atop the oh la la $450+/night Peninsula Hotel, Felix is a huge hangout for vacationers, locals and expats alike. I've ever only been to the bar, whose drinks cost as much as an entree, depriving me of the opportunity to eat at the restaurant, whose dishes probably cost as much as a small African country. Based on the minimalist decor of designer Philippe Starck, I figured an entree at Felix Restaurant would be more of an outre experience in the same vein as getting a prostate exam at zero gravity, rather than a fulfilling meal of the all-you-can-eat variety. The servers are very understated, like caretakers in a funeral home. The drinks are remarkably well done, but at those prices, you wouldn't expect anything else. The outside walls of the bar and restaurant are floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing to you look out at Hong Kong harbor on one side, and Kowloon city proper and the other. The bar itself is designed like the nose of a ship, as it narrows to a point at the tip, the "walls" padded fabric. There's seating at a long communal bar/table, or on the sides of the padded walls. Strait jackets with the arms tied together are extra, but are advised when you receive your bill. Even if you can't afford a drink here, go to the bathroom. I mean, Yes. Really. Go to the bathroom. Each stall is made of heavy granite/marble, making an emergency exit/entrance near impossible. "Sinks" are stone slabs in the middle of the bathroom with water coming out of a faucet pouring water like a waterfall, then falling to nowhere as far as I could tell. There's a bathroom auntie who will explain things and calm you down, in case you're stricken with a panic attack in the bathroom over plumbing. Vanities with mirrors overlook Hong Kong harbor. The boys' side has urinals facing out to the bright lights and hubub of TST - an empowering experience, peeing high up over and onto one of the coolest cities in the world. It's also advisable to make the bathroom the last stop after a few drinks, as navigating the curved staircase back to the bar can be tricky. read more

After the Verandah, Chesa and Gaddi, this turn is Felix!! hooray, I am trying my best to try all in the Peninsula hotel of Hong Kong. Why? It is just because I collected 2 why not to keep on if can Came to Felix, the decor is completely different from other 3. I could say each of them has its own unique style. The Verandah is family gathering with all-you-can-eat; Chesa makes you feel in Switzerland . Oh I used wrong word "feel" , should be same as classic Switzerland Resturant with cheese pot! I loved Chesa as of a nice , caring and humor waiter who I still remembered!! Gaddi is the most glorious one in which you are sure that you have to dress up and you are embraced with gold decor. Finally, Felix is cyber and modern. You don't feel like you are inside the most historical hotel. You are standing the top to see harbor view. Nice if you go drinking! Let's talk about food! Menu is showing on iPad! I appreciate the "mood view" app! It's really helpful when people don't have ideas of what to drink like me!! There are 2 tasting menus. One with wine pairing but nil for another one! Comparatively , I love the chefs tasting one much more read more

Felix is located on the 28th floor of The Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. My mom always tells me that the Peninsula was THE HOTEL back in the day. It is still a very high class hotel today. To get to Felix, you have to use one of the elevators on the wing of the hotel. Once you get off on the 28th floor, you have to go up a short flight of stairs. There, you will find Felix! It is a pretty small bar, but the interior design of the place adds to the atmosphere. The design feels like a cross between midcentury modern and modern. Once my friend and I arrived, the bartender told us about their specialty drinks then we were given some bar snacks. Felix has amazing bar snacks! We had olives, flavored macadamia nuts, and a crouton sort of thing. I forgot the name of my drink, but it was a really good size. The size actually surprised me. My friend ordered a gin & tonic. Both of our drinks were really good! There weren't many people at Felix, but that is probably because most people don't know about it! The view from Felix is also pretty awesome. The bartender explained to my friend and I that they don't raise the blinds because it goes with the design of the building. If you're only in Hong Kong for a few days and you want to take stellar photos, this probably isn't your place (because of the blinds). This would be a great spot for a date or a relaxing afternoon. I would highly recommend Felix. I love the intimate feel of the bar. read more

Fair warning, I just had cocktails up here so I can't really say anything about the food although I'm sure it's fantastic. If you're a sucker for views like I am, this is a "must go" spot for you. One of my favorite things to do when I travel is find a good bar, with good drinks, and enjoy the views. Hong Kong, in my opinion, has the prettiest skyline in the world and this place let's you take it all in. The drinks are high quality and the ambience is tough to beat. Very classy feel which is what I like. The bar area is small but intimate. I know there are other spots with great views in Hong Kong and hopefully one day I will get to check them all out. But, for now, this spot is amazing. read more

The Felix is located in the peninsula which of course is a beautiful hotel. We were hoping for more of a rooftop bar which this is not but the views are nice , the service was excellent! The side bar area is fairly small and the view is somewhat obstructed with horizontal blinds. We only ordered cocktails which were very good and reasonably priced we did not order any food ,the dining area looked very nice. read more

I was really looking forward to the night out here, having booked is some time ago as our Big Night Out in honkers. The venue is absolutely stunning with a fantastic view over to Hong Kong Island. However, a notable lack of staff when we arrived was a concern for me in a restaurant that puts itself at the top of the pile. Eventually we were attended to and decided that a pre-dinner drink from the bar with spectacular views would be a good start. The bar is very cool with a nice setup but pretty tiny - so get there early for a drink. Our table was fantastic with views across the bay, couldn't have asked for better. Menu on iPads was interesting, bit gimmicky IMHO but that's me. Our food was however a disappointment. I had lobster consommé for a starter followed by duck breast and leg confit, and she had pork galette with a salad followed by American beef. Bread basket with butter, citrus oil and a anchovy based sauce was a bit ordinary- the bread was ok but some lacked salt. The pork galette had clearly been premade as it arrived very quickly and was barely warm - quite disappointing. The consommé was ok but nothing special. Our mains were again patchy. Her steak was overcooked to the order, and my duck undercooked to the order. Both were however nice, although again nothing exceptional. The duck was presented beautifully with a glass bowl full of smoke covering it and an interesting array of accompaniments. The confit was the hero- well cooked and flavoursome. For desert I had the chocolate and she the green tea creme brûlée. Mine was ok but again not as exceptional as it looked, while the creme brûlée was frankly awful. It was again clearly pre-made, in itself not surprising, but it was not warm at all and was just not to our taste. All in all, very disappointing for us - perhaps the food is aimed at a different palate than ours. read more

If you want to be treated poorly and made to feel like you have body odor, boils, and incontinence, go to the Felix Bar at the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon. Our experience was all downhill after the greeting in the lobby of the hotel. The view was lousy. The bartenders aloof and snotty, and the clientele has their noses ten feet in the air. Felix is to be avoided unless you hate yourself and the world around you. read more

I dined here twice while staying at the Peninsula. The atmosphere, service, and food were all top notch. While perhaps a bit over priced, the cuisine was something great. I'd highly recommend the lamb entrée... it could have been my last meal and I would've been ok with that. The window tables offer amazing harbour views which added to a solid dining experience. read more

Been traveling to Hong Kong for years and always heard about the Felix but had never made it here until last year. Had dinner at the Felix with Simon a Hong Kong friend. Service as to be expected was flawless and the meal done to perfection and fit for a king. Its not the food people come here for, it is to tour the washrooms, lol yes, it is true. The washroom are what this place is all about and famous for. They are the main attraction and not for what you think. The men's urinals are free standing marble facing a floor to ceiling window overlooking Hong Kong Island, the cityscape and Victoria harbor. Yes peeing with the best view of Hong Kong Island. Worth a trip to the Felix just to experience this. The bar is great too, very stylish, the service is good as well. But it is the washrooms. :) read more

I went out of my way to get drinks at Felix's bar to checkout the view. The drinks were fine and the service friendly. The view at night could be spectacular but the blinds were open but down, obscuring the view. When I asked the staff to open them, they refused and explained that the interior designer and chef did not want the view to distract from the good. If a chef's food can't complement and compete with a good view, then the chef has no business being employed at a restaurant with a good view. The Peninsula Hotel deserves better. read more

This review is for the bar and bathroom only. Probably worth 4.5 stars. Nice view. Nice drinks. The drinks average $150 HKD -- over 20 USD each. The drinks are very good, but not spectacular. Service was good, not great. The view is fantastic. A very, very, nice place for a drink or two while staying in Hong Kong. I arrived when it opened at 5:30 pm and only 1 couple shared the space with me!!! A few others meandered in around 6pm. When I left at 6:30pm, there still were only 4 patrons at the bar! It is a small bar, however. I speculate that it get's busier around 8pm during the laser light show. Incredible men's bathroom. A must visit! Must abide by dress code posted at entrance: feet must be fully covered, no shorts! read more

Truly one of the great restaurant experiences in the world! A really sexy Phillips Starck-designed space, a service and people-oriented U.S.-ex pat manager, Dave, a very creative chef Kaji, and a 28th-floor incomparable view to match!

We were not happy with this restaurant's service. We chose this restaurant because we thought we were avoiding a tourist trap. We were mistaken. This restaurant seems like it might have been good 10-15 years ago, but today Hong Kong has so many other restaurants that provide much better service. When we got in the restaurant, the host wanted to seat us by a random curtain in the middle of the restaurant that blocked the harbor view. There were multiple tables open with views of the harbor. The host ended up seating us in another location right by where all the servers enter and exit the kitchen. Because it is a darker restaurant, it was very annoying to see the kitchen lights every few seconds. This table should not have been set up this way. It took 10 minutes to order waters for the table. After 15 minutes or not putting in a food order in, we decided to walk out and go to another restaurant. With the open tables, seating issues, and wait time, it indicated to us that there might be something wrong with this restaurant and we did not want to chance it on trying the food. We strongly recommend you try a different harbor view restaurant. There are so many choices in hk with service that corresponds to price. read more
