There are certain things in life which you
simply can’t let go of!
We have suffered the same many times in the
past but it happened pretty recently again. Re-iterating what we had mentioned
at some point of time in one of our posts: Food alone cannot contribute to
experience, but it is the entire atmosphere/ambiance which plays an equal role.
In the same line, we were recently invited
to Café Felix at 1 M.G Road, Bangalore and no matter how hard we try, we won’t
be able to do justice to the experience we had there.
3 words need to be elaborated with respect
to Café Felix: ambience, service & food.
First comes the ambience: Loads of natural
light, coupled with the décor of the place makes it very picturesque! It also
automatically lifts the spirit.
The service is very speedy and everyone
wears a smile on their face.
Now for the food:
The presentation of most of the items was
gorgeous & appealing. The taste was at par and they make sure every bite
counts.
We tried a few items and loved most of
them.
From the salads & breads we tried the
Prawn & Raw Mango Salad, House Cured Salmon on Toasted Onion & Dill
Bagel and the Grilled Tenderloin Burger.
All 3 of them are highly recommended as
they are high on taste. The salad had a sweet & spicy aftertaste. The soba
noodles along with the dressing went very well. The prawns were fresh &
well presented.
The Cured Salmon on Dill Bagel was
extraordinary. The salmon strips were super smooth and distributed throughout
the bagel. The bread was tasted & had a good crunch to it. The flavor of
cream cheese along with dill were prominent plus a hint of wasabi to spice up
the experience.

The burger was a meal by itself. The patty
was done medium rare as per recommendation and it was tender & juicy. The
caramelized onions along with the cheddar & meat is a tried and tested
combination so just take a bite and you know the drill. The overall taste could be tweaked a bit for better results.
We tried a couple of smoothies: The Mixed
Berry Yoghurt Smoothie & the Avocado Chocolate Smoothie. Both of them were
decent but the former was not well balanced. We could feel the tartness of the
berries. The latter was well balanced as it was pretty simple. The
characteristic flavors were present and the combo was great too.
By this time we were almost full: Yes we
are losing potential, we know!
A Pasta and a half/half Pizza is what we tried next.
The Rigatoni with Confit Lamb & Smoked
Peppers did not have sharp flavors but the subtle taste along with the shredded
lamb & peppers really tasted good. The sauce was mostly lamb and for any
meat lover, that’ll steal the show.

Now what is a half/half pizza: it is one
half of something & the other half something else. We tried the Goan
Sausage and the Chimichurri Prawns pizza. The former was simply lip smacking.
The onions tasted amazing with the sauce & the sausages. The Prawn pizza
tasted good but somehow the cheese did not set properly. One bite and the bread
would be naked. We somehow did not like the Prawn pizza because of the sauce.
Although the toppings, the sauce and everything tasted great, we might have
liked the other pizza a little bit too much.
We also tried a sample of their Mixed
Mushroom Risotto & that’s a must try for a mushroom lover.
Lastly, it’s time for dessert:
Dark Chocolate Fondant & the Banana
Nutella Cake.
The latter was perfect in every way. Every
scoop had distinct flavors of Nutella & banana. (It is another tried &
tested combo)

Now for the Fondant: From a distance, you
won’t find it great but one spoon & it’ll win you over. The coarse
consistency on the outside & the gooiness inside made this even more
fascinating. It was spot on with the consistency of the chocolate & the
touch of hazelnut!
Now that’s all from our side.
We really loved Café Felix and we’ll
definitely revisit: not only because of the food, but also because of the
friendly atmosphere. Special thanks to the restaurant manager, Jennifer David
for taking special care.
A visit is definitely recommended if you
like what you read above.
We’ll be back soon with delicious news!
Till then—keep feeling hungry & bon
apetit!
