The Ivy's French Brasserie
Felix on Ash Street is Merivale's Ivy-laneway French brasserie — proper steak frites, considered seafood, and one of the most architecturally complete CBD dining rooms.
The cooking is French brasserie classics at restaurant-grade discipline: steak frites, considered seafood, the broad French brasserie menu the format demands.
What to Order
Steak frites with proper sauce — the dish the kitchen is built around. Seafood platter for a celebration; terrines from the kitchen's programme. The wine list runs deep on French and Australian producers.
The Setting
The dining room is large, well-lit, and architecturally complete in the way successful Merivale rooms are. Private dining accommodates corporate parties.
Best Occasion: Close a Deal
Felix handles a Sydney CBD deal dinner with practised confidence. The brasserie format keeps the meeting focused; the wine list lets the dinner ascend at whatever rate the deal requires; the address resolves the logistics.
