Felix is a French-styled restaurant located near Sydney’s popular Ivy and Ash Street Cellar   Wine Bar (both Merivale establishments). It’s located close to Wynyard Station and Martin Place, making it well-placed to attract business people from the surrounding offices and those looking for a high quality dining experience.  My friend Fitness Fanatic and I were members of the latter.

Atmosphere

Friday night is undoubtedly one of the busiest days for any restaurant. Given the fact that most people don’t work on Saturday and are looking for a nice place to relax post-working week, it’s not surprising that it’s such a popular night.

The french style decor and eclectic mix of furniture, lamps and murals added to the opulent Parisian feel. The modern french style music also contributed to the restaurant’s atmosphere, as did the busy bar nearby. The oyster bar and wine cellar on display, as well as the ability to see into the kitchen made the space more interesting and less stuffy and formal.

Service

Fitness Fanatic managed to make a booking for us on a Thursday at 6.00pm. We initially wanted to dine at 5.30pm straight after work but unfortunately this could not be accommodated. We arrived at 5.45pm, a little early for our 6.00pm booking. Despite FF having been told that we couldn’t get a booking for 5.30pm, there were only two other tables in the restaurant, other than ourselves.

During the night we had one waitress who took our orders and handled requests. All food was brought out by the waitstaff and drinks by the bar staff.

Our waitress was quite friendly and said all the right things but we couldn’t help but think that she wasn’t genuinely friendly.

All in all service was quite good. Food was brought out very quickly, we never had to wait long for anything and we were paid attention when we wanted it.

Food

We decided to go with the prix fixe menu. This had two options: 2 courses for $45.00 or 3 courses for $55.00. We chose the second option.

Drinks

I chose a lemon lime bitters (my favourite) which cost $5.00.

Breads

To start with we were served complimentary bread with a little butter. The bread was sourdough and while it was quite tasty, the sourdough baguette was a little tough and hard to eat. We also didn’t have a side plate to eat it on which was a bit awkward :p

Entree

For entree I chose the Twice baked Gruyere Soufflé, Rocket and Walnuts. The souffle was well presented and at first I really enjoyed it. The smell was inviting, the texture not too chunky or too soft, and the taste revealed the perfect amount of cheesiness. I love walnuts and thought the rocket was refreshing and broke up the cheesiness a bit, but would have loved something juicy on the salad such as tomatoes, orange slices or figs.

Overall, not a bad dish but it did get a little overpowering and heavy after a few mouthfuls.

FF chose the Smoked Chicken, Frisée, Onion Compote and Crispy Fried Poached Egg. I also tried some of her dish and thought the smokiness of the chicken was quite prominent and contrasted brilliantly with the sweet compote. We were interested to see what the poached egg looked like and thought it was quite interesting to see a poached egg, which is usually something so delicate, coated in batter and fried.

Main

For mains I found it difficult to choose between the Mulloway and the Beef cheek. Both looked inviting but I decided to go with the Pan Roasted Mulloway Provençal with Fennel, Crushed Potatoes Steamed Fennel and Soupe de Poisson as I liked the idea of the pan-fried piece of fish.

The fish was quite well presented and the Soupe de Poisson (basically a thick, colourful fish soup), was (although not very fishy) tasty and fragrant. I was provided with a spoon for the soup but didn’t need it as the fish and potatoes soaked up all the juices. The fish skin was delightfully crisp and golden and the fish was soft and flaky. The fennel which tastes basically like celery was OK but the potatoes were a little undercooked. Overall I did enjoy this dish and had the potatoes been a little more cooked, it would have been brilliant.

FF chose the Rotisserie Spatchcock, Savoy Cabbage and Boulangere Potatoes. I tried a little of the spatchcock, despite not being a huge fan of spatchcock generally as it’s a baby chicken and I don’t like the thought of eating a chick. However I did enjoy it and although I wouldn’t order it myself I thought the dish was quite well done. The spatchcock was well-cooked and the gravy was poured on top of the chicken at the table. The boulangere potatoes, which are basically finely sliced potatoes layered and cooked in an oven for a long period of time, were one of the standouts of the dish. FF mentioned that she thought there was too much chicken and not enough cabbage. We did agree that more chicken was better than not enough and that the servings at Felix are very generous.

Dessert

For dessert I had trouble deciding between the profiteroles, the cold fondant and the parfait.

FF chose the profiteroles: Profiteroles, Vanilla Ice-cream, Pistachio Custard and Hot Chocolate Sauce. The chocolate sauce was poured on top of the profiteroles at the table. FF really enjoyed them and I thought the pistachio custard with hot chocolate was an interesting combination and went really well together. I did, however, think that the profiteroles were a little dense.

I ended up deciding to go with the Vanilla Parfait, Glazed Fig, Baked Meringue and Almonds. I was extremely happy with this choice as the parfait was delicious and tasted of cardamom and nutmeg. It had the texture of pashmak, and the was very interesting to try! I love figs and really enjoyed the fresh figs. I couldn’t taste any glaze on them but I thought they were delicious nonetheless. The baked meringue added a lot to the presentation of the dish and the dry, sweet texture went great with the parfait. The almonds added some extra crunch. This dish was my favourite and by far one of the best desserts I have had in a while!

Overall we had an enjoyable evening with excellent food, generous portions, great value and good service.

Cost:

The meal came to $115.00 all up.

MDS, MC, Nicole, Matty, Daniel and I visited Deck on Bent after a failed attempt to get a table at the Bavarian Bier Cafe before the Roosters v Dragons Anzac Day rugby game.

Unfortunately the BBC was packed out and the only other option we could come up with was this place.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere outside was great thanks to the excited crowd waiting for the game to begin. Inside, the restaurant was a typical average-looking cafe. It looked alright but wasn’t anything special.

Service

Service was quite good and our waiters were really nice.

I was a bit disappointed however to find that my lemon lime bitters didn’t have a lemon wedge in it and Matty wasn’t happy that his didn’t have ice in it. It’s the little things that count after all!

Food

For food, some of us ordered Fish n Chips, some ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and some, including myself, ordered the Beef Burger.

Beef Burger, $15.90

The beef burger was OK. The beef was well-cooked. The chips crunchy, and the salad was …well….a salad. The dish was well presented and the serving size was great.

MC’s schnitzel was a bit of a disappointment as the chicken was more of a crumbed breast than a schnitzel. It needed to be flattened before it was battered and cooked. His chips however were delicious and tasted of rosemary and other mixed herbs.

MDS and Daniel ordered the Fish n Chips. There was a large piece of fish with this order and the same chips as I had with my burger. Presentation was good and the serving size was fantastic!

Product Review: Domino’s Chef’s Best Range

About the Chef’s Best Range

I was very excited to be contacted by Domino’s to try their new Chef’s Best Range.

The concept behind the Chef’s Best Range is “more for less“. The range aims to give customers more toppings and more variety of ingredients than the typical fast food pizza. This means more gourmet ingredients (including duck, pork belly, camembert and lamb), and better value for money than gourmet pizza restaurants which although generally healthier and more varied than fast food pizza, are much more expensive!

Two Chef’s Best pizzas were delivered to my door one weeknight. I was excited to try them as I (along with about 99% of the world) love gourmet pizzas and this delivery meant we didn’t have to cook dinner that night!

Chef’s Best box- delivered to my door piping hot!

Flavours

The Chef’s Best Range includes 9 great flavours:

• Grand Supreme
• Cheesy Bacon Hawaiian
• Loaded Meatlovers
• Deli Vege and Camembert
• BBQ Duck and Blue Cheese
• Chicken and Camembert
• Shiraz Lamb and Tomato
• Chicken and Cranberry
• BBQ Pork and Hollandaise

I chose to try the Chicken and Camembert and the Shiraz Lamb and Tomato.

Chicken & Camembert

I decided to try the Chicken and Camembert pizza. When I opened the box I was excited to see that the pizza was covered with lots of delicious toppings. There was plenty of bacon, white camembert cheese, chicken pieces, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, spanish onion and mozzarella cheese with hollandaise sauce.

 

I was pretty impressed with this pizza. The chicken was well cooked, there was plenty of bacon and camembert (which was lovely and gooey), the bacon was crispy, the tomatoes juicy and slightly tart, and the pizza base the delicious Domino’s thick base. The spinach wasn’t too wilted, it was perfectly cooked, and the sauce added extra flavour.

I really enjoyed this pizza and would definitely order it again- delicious! This is a real competitor to some of the gourmet pizzas I have tried before!

Shiraz Lamb and Tomato

The Shiraz Lamb pizza had braised shiraz lamb shank, capsicum, spanish onion, mushroom, tomatoes and mozzarella. It was topped with a mint yoghurt sauce (sort of like the kind that comes with samosas!).

 

This pizza didn’t have enough lamb in my opinion, and the lamb was more like mince and was a little overcooked and dry. However, the combination of lamb with spanish onion, mozzarella and the mint yoghurt sauce was delicious.

The sauce lifted the pizza, adding an exciting fresh flavour to it and reducing the effect of the dry lamb. Overall, it was an OK pizza but not one I would order again and again. I would probably try one of the other flavours instead.

Summary

The photo below shows the size of the pizza compared to a $5 note.

 

Overall, we definitely enjoyed the pizzas. They were delivered hot and freshly cooked, they were tasty and flavoursome, and we loved the new and exciting flavours as an alternative to the traditional pizza flavours (meatlovers, supreme, hawaiian etc..)

The pizzas are a pretty decent size too, and starting at only $8, you can get about three for the price of one gourmet pizza!

Domino’s has done a pretty awesome job with their new range and this is definitely a more price-conscious alternative to gourmet pizzas and an easy dinner option!

How does it work?

Little Box of Yum is a “food discovery service” by a couple: Jamie and Alex, aimed at helping people learn more about new and interesting products and promoting small businesses’ goods.

The service involves sending out a box of 5-6 goodies, including interesting sauces, spices and gourmet foods. Monthly subscribers get their box sent out automatically and receive an extra item.

There are two options:

1. A one-off (single) box- $40 + $8 postage, or

2. A monthly box- $38 + $8 postage.

The boxes can be sent to family or friends as well as a cute gift idea for the foodie (hi guys! *hint hint*) or busy friends! It’s a good way to liven up your lunch and dinners and try out new and interesting ingredients.

The service can be cancelled at any time by sending Alex an email.

Discovery Box

I tried out the service with the Discovery Box. The box was delivered to my door and was full of delicious gourmet goodies! The glass bottles were safely packed and came unharmed (except for the fairy floss which was a little squished). My Discovery Box contained:

• A “Discovery Booklet” containing information about the foods in the box, recipes, advertisements and stories,
• Morish caramel coated nuts
• Maleny Cuisine strawberry lime and whiskey conserve
• Riverina Grove “bum hummers” salsa
• Spun fairy floss
• Outback Spirit Australian Herb mix
• Roza’s sweet mustard with apricots and macadamia
• Angelo’s beetroot fettucine
• Currong rainforest lime shrub cordial

 Products

Fairy Floss

I am a big fan of rose water flavoured things and loved this Spun Fairy Floss. It was basically heaven in a cup for me- despite the cup being a little broken from the trip to my house. The fairy floss was sweet and fluffy and the rose scent was divine. There are 17 other cool flavours to try (yes, seventeen!!!). Check it out.

Cordial

Such an unusual product. Lime apple cider cordial was an interesting accompaniment to our dinner one evening and the consensus was that it tasted like mum’s lime pickle – haha! Mixed with water, it isn’t that fab, but mixed with Tonic Water or Lemonade, it is quite refreshing! A very different drink to the sweet sugar-filled drinks I’m used to as the tangyness and slight bitterness is more prominent than the sweetness. Would be great in lemon lime bitters!

Morish Nuts

Who doesn’t love nuts? No one in my family, that’s for sure. We all enjoyed these Morish premium caramel coated almonds, macadamias and cashews. They were crunchy and seemed very fresh (not soft and stale like some nuts you might find elsewhere). One negative is that some of them were a little broken and they were quite sugary, but that’s excusable considering the fact that they tasted so good! The pack retails for $4.50.

Bum Hummers

“LOL” pretty much sums up our reaction to this jar. It’s such an odd name for a food – so shockingly odd and unusual! Bum Hummers Chilli Salsa is basically tomatoes, onions, capsicum and a whole lot of chilli combined to make a dip for chips or tacos. Interesting name and a delicious, chunky (but spicy) product. Leave the jar out on the table with some chips when you have guests over for a great conversation starter!

Wattleseed Herb Rub

This fragrant Aussie rub is versatile and perfect for last minute dinners. Outback Spirit have produced a herb made from the dried and ground leaves of the lemon myrtle tree. It’s great rubbed onto meats, fish or poultry with a little olive oil, or used to add flavour to stews, roasts or sauces. The rub retails for $8.50 on its own.

Angelo’s Beetroot Fettuccine

This was very interesting! I had seen spinach fettuccine before but never beetroot!

Sorry for the blurry pic, I was too excited :p

We decided to try it one day and mum made a seafood marinara with it. Unfortunately the fettuccine lost a little bit of its colour, making it appear less red. It also didn’t taste much like beetroot but then again, seafood can be overpowering so perhaps with chicken the flavour may be more prominent?

Roza’s mustard

What an interesting flavour! While I am not usually a big mustard fan, I immediately enjoyed the nuttiness of the macadamias in this mustard. I also loved the fact that it could be used in salads as well as on sandwiches! Versatility is great and this product definitely has it!

Strawberry lime and whiskey conserve

Mum and I tried some of this interesting conserve. I am already a fan of Rekorderlig’s Strawberry Lime Cider and thought a strawberry lime jam might be cool to try out. I can see how it would work as there are already a lot of citrus and strawberry jams out there so why not mash them up together?

We tried the jam and the consensus was that it was pretty good. Not as sweet as the normal strawberry jams that you get (which is good for those who don’t like sweet things). It has a pretty strong whiskey flavour and while it could take some getting used to, I can see this product becoming a staple in the fridge!

Summary

This is a pretty cool idea if you want to make your meals interesting and My Kitchen Rules worthy. You can get creative using the gourmet products included in the box and try out some of the recipes. Really good for the time poor!

The one negative I would say is that it does seem a little expensive to be paying for the products every month, especially when many of them will last you a few months (e.g. spice rubs and sauces or oils). However the great thing about it is that you can also order single boxes whenever you want so you could choose to get one every few months.

There is also a blog which has some good ideas on how to use the products. I particularly loved the idea of mixing the Roza Sweet Mustard with Apricots and Macadamia with yoghurt for an easy dip, or adding it to a potato salad to liven it up!

I think this is a pretty cool concept and also a great way to support small businesses. For more information, see their website (above).

TBB is the newest offering on the Ku-Ring-Gai dining scene. Prowsey has been raving about this place for a while now and I finally got a chance to visit with my friend, ClareBear.

Atmosphere

A father/son duo, George and Anthony, have transformed this space into a fresh and exciting new eatery whilst managing to retain the personality and uniqueness of the shop which, for over 70 years, was a Butchery.

The Butcher style aprons, meat hooks and various accessories add to the atmosphere, while wooden benches and the smell of freshly ground coffee invite passersby inside to taste the delicious foods on offer.

The place has a sort of rustic, garden vibe, with a lot of wood and exposed brick. The crowning glory of the decor is the vintage meat cleaver used by a Butcher in the store in 1882. While I LOVE that they have decided to use a vintage item in the restaurant, I was appalled to find that the cleaver is now used as a handle to enter the toilets! Bit gross really…

Service

ClareBear and I rocked up at 10.00 am on a Saturday without a reservation. When we got there, there was already a line of about 10-15 people waiting to get in. We put our name down on the list and were told that the wait would be about 15-20 minutes. We decided to go to a nearby cafe, Danes, to have a coffee while we waited to get a seat at TBB.

After our coffee, we headed back and luckily, within about 5 minutes we were seated at an outside table. Unfortunately, as the day was very rainy, it wasn’t the best spot. We were quite cold (there were no outdoor heaters) and the awning didn’t quite shelter us fully from the rain.

Nonetheless it didn’t bother us too much, and we were excited to receive the menus.

Throughout our meal, we had a few waiters serve us. I would have preferred to have just the one waitress who gave us the menus as it would have looked a little more orderly than having a few different people checking up on us.

I would also comment that some of the waiters seemed to hurry us a little, clearing our plates very quickly and always checking whether we wanted something else. Given the cafe was quite busy, that was fair enough. I did notice that once the place quietened down (around 12.30 pm), they stopped asking us if we needed anything and we went up to the counter to pay for our meals before we left.

Food

I was really in the mood for eggs so I decided to order the one pan bacon and eggs with sourdough and home made tomato sauce ($14.00).

I was hoping that this dish would be served in an actual pan (as the name suggests), but was a little disappointed that it was served up on a large plate. Further, the eggs were not runny enough and the sourdough was almost impossible to eat with a fork and knife as it was so crunchy. I ended up smearing the sauce over it and using my hands!

Despite the above, the tomato sauce was divine- it was chunky and slightly sour, was very rich and plentiful. There was plenty of bacon and eggs as well. If only this dish had been served in a mini pan, I would have been quite happy!

ClareBear ordered the croissant with hazelnut spread ($7.00). I had seen this on the menu before and it did look absolutely divine!  A great alternative to Max Brenner, Oliver Brown or  San Churros!

After breakfast we ordered some tea while we chatted away. I ordered the Congo Bongo, and ClareBear got the English Breakfast. The tea was served in cast iron tea pots which although nice to look at, were very heavy to lift! The tea pots gave us about 4 small cups each.

My Congo Bongo tea smelt like a fruity breakfast cereal and was the perfect way to relax on this particularly chilly morning!

Summary

Overall a great little breakfast spot. The decor and menu options are great, and exactly what the upper north shore needs. Service is a little disjointed, perhaps due to the large crowds.

I would love to come back to try the lunch menu sometime and even the dinner menu, which I hear is soon to come!

Cost: 

Overall my meal came to about $20 while Clare Bear’s was about $12.

Guest Review: Royal Exhibition Hotel – The Homemade Beef Burger Review

We have a brand new guest review for TCFB readers! This one is of the Homemade Beef Burger! Check it out!

Michael’s Review

Most of the burgers we’ve tried so far have had a degree of ‘specialness’ about them. While that’s nice in principle, it’s always good to have that old favourite that you can rely on to satisfy your taste buds.

For the Homemade Beef Burger at The Royal Exhibition Hotel in Surry Hills, this burger lived up to its name, as it felt like it had been made with a bit of love and care…the sort of feeling you would get if you were trying one of your mum’s home cooked meals.

The burger had all the classic ingredients – beef, tomato, lettuce, mayo, bacon, cheese, seeded mustard and tomato relish for a bit of kick.

The bun had char marks on top for added presentation and the fries were pretty much as good as what you’d get from Maccas.

I was very content with the burger. All of the ingredients complemented each other very nicely. The only criticism I would give is on the quality of the bun. A little more crunch would have been nice.

This burger didn’t quite reach the level of the burger at the Landmark hotel but nonetheless it was still very impressive.

I give it an 8.5/10.

Simon’s Review

My relationship with The Exhibition Hotel was off to a rocky start when I received $5.50 change in mostly gold coins. I was required to pay $14.50 for the burger (with a request for no tomato) and paid with a $20 note. I was then given two $2 coins, one $1 coin and a 50 cent coin. I knew they had a $5 note because Dave had just given them one.

However when the burger came out quickly (almost no waiting time) all was forgiven. It was your standard presentation (just the burger and chips). The burger bun was grilled at the top (mostly for presentation) and the chips were the best tasting pub chips I have had.

After removing all the lettuce, I dug into the beef, bacon, cheese, mayo and relish that comprised the burger. Taste was fantastic. Just enough mayo, just enough relish (very nice taste) and just enough cheese. The beef gave you the ‘melt in your mouth’ feeling craved for in a burger.

One down side was the softness of the bun. The bun was easily pulled apart. This can be problematic when you eat your burgers with a knife and fork (like I do). Apart from that, this burger was solid all round.

I give this burger an 8.5 out of 10. While it tasted nice, it was not as good as the burger from the Landmark Hotel (which rated a 9). As mentioned, I didn’t like the softness of the bun. Will go back to get this burger.

 

Dave’s Review

At $14.50, the home-made beef burger at The Exhibition Hotel in Surry Hills is the cheapest of all the burgers we’re reviewing. It also arrived in quicker time than any of the previous burgers. Those two factors led to an initial skepticism which was instantly eradicated once the first mouthful of succulent beef patty and perfectly-charred bun passed between my lips and seeped into every one of my taste buds. This burger was near perfect.

The secret was in the simplicity. Just the classics are present: tomato, lettuce, and a beef patty topped with bacon. All extravagance was saved for the relish – perfectly-textured and delicious enough to drink.

My rating of a 9 is the highest mark I’ve given thus far. The only thing lacking was creative presentation and some sort of originality with the chips (simple yet tasty ‘shoestring’ fries), though I am being particularly harsh with this criticism, as anything too creative would’ve taken away from it’s near-perfect simplicity.

In summary, this is just about the only burger I ever need to eat again.

TCFB: Big call Dave! Great work guys, love the review!

The guys also made a YouTube video review which you can find here.
