Felix Restaurant in Greenbelt

My family and I are creatures of habit. When we find something we like, we usually stick to that. So it was a big deal that Mom and I decided to deviate from our usual lunch spot and check out Felix in Greenbelt. We were walking by, it was relatively empty (not peak hour) so we took a chance.

Here’s the exterior:

Here’s the interior, very modern. I liked. It was quiet but then again there was no one there. The vibe is nice.. upscale.

They give you fresh bread which is delicious, especially paired with this olive oil dip thing.

Heads up about Felix, their menu is extensive. They have tons of choices and have a little something for everyone. The one thing mom and I hated though was their fancy names for their dishes. The names told you nothing about the dish so it felt very much like reading a dictionary to determine your order. This made ordering so, so difficult because we had to read each item to make choices. You can’t just skim through the menu. You really have to read.

Here is a link to the Menu on MunchPunch.

Prices – Not for everyday. I’d say at least P1000/person is a good estimate for a full meal (appetizer, main, dessert).

We ordered Mushroom Soup. We split one order. Taste, okay.

My mom ordered the Truffle Cream Pasta with Crispy Parma Ham. I think this is called the “Ala Jay.” Go figure. Anyway, you could definitely taste the truffle. However, what it had in truffle it lacked in other flavors. It was a bit on the bland side. So this is a dish that is promising but needs improvement.

I had the Sea Bass with Stringy Potatoes and Spinach and Corn. In Felix terms, the “Mizube.” This dish is a STAR. I loved it. Fish perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. Vegetables tasty and complement the dish. The shoestring potatoes give the perfect texture. This dish is amazing. I love spring flavors so this is exactly that. Not too heavy. Sigh. I would go back just for this.

For Dessert we had Crepe Samurai. It was chilled and fluffy. The mangoes and cream filling was yummy. Yes, it’s sweet, for those who are watching their sugar…share this with someone. Or you could get one each like my mother and I did. The best thing about dining with family is you can eat like a pig and they won’t judge you. (I think.) Haha. Anyway, we were so busy enjoying it that I totally forgot to take a picture. But this is what it looked like after. Clean!

Overall, despite the soup and pasta falling short of expectations, I think Felix is worth another visit.
