The Peninsula Hong Kong’s Felix Bar: A unique Hong Kong experience

Located on the top floor (the 28^th) of the swanky Peninsula Hotel and designed by noted architect Philippe Starck, the Felix Bar offers a panoramic view of Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. However, it is the women and men’s restrooms with their spectacular views (the men’s restroom has a view of Kowloon while the women’s restroom has a view of the harbor) that are considered to be the Felix Bar’s best attraction!

Aside from the world famous restrooms, the Felix Bar’s menu includes a range of appetizers and main courses that emphasis seafood with notable dishes including Tuna Sashimi (Chorizo and Black Truffle), Boston Lobster (with Smoked Tomato, Gruyere and Tarragon), Tasmanian Salmon with Parsnip Gratin and Pancetta-wrapped Lamb. In addition, there is a complete range of wines, champagnes and cocktails available to choose from that may be paired with a late night and desert menu offering delicacies such as Oscietra Caviar with Traditional Condiments, Citrus Cheese Cake and Mango Rice Pudding Roll with Coconut Sorbet.

However, some patrons may find the Felix Bar to be pricey (expect to spend a minimal of HK$200 or US$25) and reviews of the cuisine and the service tend to be mixed. However, if you are looking for a truly unique Hong Kong experience (the men’s urinals!) and an absolutely breathtaking view of the city, then there are few places in the world that will match what the Felix Bar has to offer.

The Felix Bar is located on the top floor of The Peninsula Hong Kong on Salisbury Road (Phone: +85 2 2315 3188) and is open from 18:00 to 02:00. Attire is smart casual.
