Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience for us. We decided to eat here because, as we were walking by, we noticed that it was very pleasant, with a beautiful terrace. The 4.1 out of 5 rating gave us hope. We seriously wonder how this restaurant got such a good rating. When we arrived at the time of our reservation, we received a somewhat cold and distant welcome. After being shown to our table, we had to wait 20 minutes for the menu. It was rather unclear; there were no prices per glass of wine listed anywhere, even though it turned out this was possible. I ordered the salmon fillet, which was okay. However, my boyfriend's entrecote steak was very disappointing. The steak wasn't cooked as requested and tasted completely unpleasant. The fries that came with it weren't crispy, and there was only some lettuce and a small container of something that resembled mayonnaise. A very disappointing plate. The lettuce was actually the best thing on the plate. While eating, we noticed that the tables on the beautiful terrace were awkwardly packed together. The waiters kept brushing past us, and we had to keep tucking our elbows in to avoid collisions. We twice mentioned that the steak was bad and that we weren't satisfied, but beyond a dry "sorry," nothing was done to compensate. It was a waste of money; it really wasn't worth it. The service could also be much more welcoming and friendly. To anyone planning to eat here, I have some excellent advice: cross the street and eat at Octave. It's a world of difference, both in service and food! Octave is our absolute favorite!

Very nice location overlooking a pretty garden in a lovely historical area. The steak was a bit chewy. It would have been nice to have had a salad or side vegetables option on the menu. It was ok but sorry somehow nothing to write home about. The service was good. Reasonably priced champagne!

Very nice restaurant. This may sound irrelevant, but lighting was great, comfortable to the eyes and complement the presentation of the food. The staff team was professional. We felt welcomed. The food was great 👍 Of all nice-looking restos in the neighborhood, we were very happy we went to this place.

Great meal awesome setting. Make A reservation because IT is a locals favoriete too. In the heart of the historical heart of this beautiful town with lots of authentic old architecture. We where lucky to get a table in the garden/Jardin go for it! You Will not regret. Tip for wine and champagne lovers, lots of choice on the menu. 😊🥂

Well presented food in a hipster restaurant though the customers are not hipster at all. Just some niggles…. It’s odd for me to put quinoa with processed ham. No vegetables with the mains but then, this is France. The service was quick and efficient, except when it came to getting and paying the bill.

Fantastic experience at Chez Félix. Staff is very kind and courteous. Atmosphere is charming and menu offers a solid spectrum of choices. We ordered the entrecôte and were delighted that it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Charming evening, highly recommend!

They taught me about French food. Good steak, salads, white wine. Also they can communicate in English. It is unique

Chez Felix is a nice cozy spot in central Troyes. The decor is "modern country" and the chairs are comfortable. Which is good as you're going to be here a LONG time. We both ordered the dinner formule (3 courses) and a bottle of wine. And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. I am not joking - it took ONE HOUR for our starters to come out. ONE HOUR for pate which is premade! It was plenty tasty and a large amount but the timeframe isn't cool. Our other courses lagged as well, not as bad though. In all, dinner took 2.5 hour and we were charged the ala carte price rather than the formule price. Not wanting to have to spend the night there we paid up. Maybe it was an off night?

It is a typical French restaurant, hidden in a very cute street. You will find few unexpected dishes - you'll have a fish, an andouillette, a beef piece (their €25 rib steak is excellent), and a few other meat specialties. They didn't have any vegan option when we went, but a vegan colleague asked for a special plate and they managed to make a very nice one. Desserts are also very expected: a chocolate cake, a pie, an ice cream assortment, a fruit carpaccio, all around €8. Service is nice, but quite obviously young and not very experienced. Bottom line? It is a conventional restaurant that will be consensual for a work dinner, or a large group. But I found it very expensive (starters cost around €10, main €18-25) for Troyes, and lacking the wow factor for that price range.
