Feliz has brought the vibrant flavours of Peru to Avenue K, thanks to the culinary expertise of Chef Franco Aldana. Situated on the rooftop, this restaurant offers a unique opportunity to explore Peru’s rich culinary heritage, from ceviche to lomo saltado, and even cocktails like Pisco Sours, all with a modern twist. Chef Franco, who has honed his skills in some of the world’s top kitchens, including Maido in Peru and five-star hotels in Dubai, is the perfect ambassador for Peruvian cuisine in Kuala Lumpur.
The restaurant itself is a feast for the senses, with a stunning interior and an alfresco patio that provides breathtaking views of the city skyline, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.
The menu at Feliz is a testament to Franco’s talent, featuring standout dishes like the Ceviche Limeño, where the citrusy leche de tigre marinade shines, and the Tiradito de Tuna, a beautiful fusion of fresh tuna with Peruvian and Nikkei influences. The Arroz con Mariscos, a seafood rice dish, showcases the distinct flavours of aji amarillo, setting it apart from the more familiar paella.
Feliz doesn’t stop at just the savoury. The Empanada De Cordero, with its perfect blend of sweet and savoury lamb filling, and the Pulpo Anticuchero, a BBQ-marinated octopus dish, are not to be missed.
These dishes reflect the diversity and depth of Peruvian cuisine, expertly presented in a contemporary setting. The Pulpo Anticuchero, in particular, paired with white corn and roasted potatoes, exemplifies the harmony of flavours that Feliz aims to deliver.
To complete the experience, the cocktail menu at Feliz is nothing short of extraordinary. The Pisco Sour is elevated with innovative infusion methods, offering a fresh take on this classic Peruvian cocktail.
For something different, the Machu Picchu and Lady Rosita cocktails blend South American and Asian influences, creating a unique and tantalising flavour profile. Felix’s will be having an all-night drinks promo every Thursday serving up their amazing Felix Margarita and many more delicious drinks.
These drinks, along with the exceptional food, make Feliz a must-visit for anyone looking to embark on a culinary journey through Peru without leaving Kuala Lumpur. Head on over to their social media for more information and to book your table to experience this gastronomical restaurant.
