We were looking for a place to sit outside and enjoy a drink or two before dinner. We wandered across Francois Felix and sat down. Service was excellent, our drinks were wonderful, and there was even a lap blanket since it was February. I would...definitely recommend.More

We loved our lunch here and would recommend! My partner had the confit duck and I had the special beef bourguignon. Both were cooked wonderfully and tasted amazing. Even though we speak only the basics in french the staff were nice and service was quick....The cocktail my partner had was lovely too.More

Great location and excellent food. Unfortunately for us it was just a quick stop, otherwise I would have tried fee more dishes, for sure next time! The prices are aligned with the location (even cheaper than what I expected) and the service is nice. Overall...recommended!More

First off, our waiter was charming and friendly. We ordered escargot for our starter from which I will now compare all escargot. The onion soup was flavorful and hearty. We ended our night with creme brulee which we also enjoyed…if I’m ever back in Paris...I will most certainly be back!More

Our receptionist recommended Francois Felix for us as a close solution to our hotel. The first time was OK. Coffee, beers, etc. Very kind waiters. Some days later we stopped again after our dinner on the way back to the hotel. There was live music...and I realised a Rossini… we reserved a table for the next day - it was really great - Thank you guys 10/10!!!More

Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.. It was our first night of a week-long trip to Paris. We walked by Francois Felix and saw, through the window, a restaurant full of diners and a place that seemed to glow. In we went. We were welcomed warmly and seated...at a small round table in front by the window. I ordered my go-to bistro meal of escargots (that were perfectly done), a main course of salmon— “Red Label” from Scotland with leeks — that was outstanding with a freshness that jumped off the plate, and probably the very best chocolate mousse I have ever eaten (smooth dense texture, rich multi-layered chocolate taste at a perfect sweetness, toasted hazelnuts on top as the crunchy nutty counterpoint). My wife had sea bass with mashed potatoes the was equally delicious. The atmosphere was bistro-perfect …. tables of twos and and fours all enjoying the full Parisian dining monty of wonderful food, animated conversation, and lovely ambiance. The service was superbe. Julien, who served us, was warm and genuine, with a twinkle in his eye that made us feel as welcome as if we were in his own home (which in a way I guess we were). I don’t usually comment on wall sconces—but these were made from a dark blue-purple cloth with a trim of red at the bottom that glowed and gave the whole restaurant a timeless Midnight in Paris feel. Magical. We ate, we talked, we laughed, we enjoyed. All told, one of the very best cafe/bistro meal experiences I have ever had. Do not miss.More

Typical bistro located in a very quiet street with typical french dishes served punctually by well trained and nice personnel. The price is more than acceptable considering the location. Highly recommended.

Tonight we had the good chance to stumble upon Francois Felix as we exited the Crillon Hotel. We wanted to grab a casual bite and this lively restaurant did the trick. The ambiance was lovely with great background music. The wait staff was friendly and...efficient. The food was surprisingly tasty. I don’t say this lightly but their onion soup was one of the best I ever had in Paris (much much better than a nearby restaurant which proclaims theirs is the best. It’s not!). The chicken club sandwich was delicious and oversized served with salad and frites. The eggs mayonnaise was excellent as was the Camembert starter. We left the restaurant stuffed and happy. We will definitely be back on our next trip! This restaurant is a winner!More

Don't have a lot to say about this place. Stopped here for lunch as it was convenient and didn't see a lot of good options nearby. The meal and service were unmemorable, but the location was in a convenient spot near the US embassy, shopping,...and the park. So giving them three stars.More

We dropping here for dinner after visiting for a beer the previous evening and enjoying the buzz which Felix had to offer. We were NOT disappointed from the moment we entered to the moment we left. The service, ambiance, live music, food and drinks were...all fantastic. There was nothing to criticise to be honest. A great Parisian evening and experience. We will be back! and you (the person reading this review) MUST visit to also enjoy the best relaxed and buzzing bistro Paris has to offer.More

Very busy lunchtime restaurant near to place de la Concorde. Managed to get a table outside under patio heater. Had excellent snails to start. Main course was a bit below par. Lobster in a bechemel sauce which I think they had left under heat for...too long so it was split. Service very good and friendly.More
