Reviews For The Alex Café Bar & Brasserie

Anna Kocsis

Beautiful food. I told the waitress that I'm eating keto. She asked the kitchen if one of the dishes contains flour (it did) then swapped out the carb-y things from the burger for salad, she even notified me that the dressing is made with honey so I could ask them not to mix it. Everything tasted amazing and the service was superb.

Popped in for a quick drink and bite to eat. Haven't been in here for many years but still a lovely cafe to visit. Lovely staff, not too busy but busy enough to make a good atmosphere. Had Nachos which were good and had them topped with pulled pork. At least made with real cheese!

Returned to The Alex yesterday, not really a fan of the whole menu but do enjoy The Pulled Pork Nachos which are definitely the best in Felixstowe. This is the small plate portion.

Went here yesterday for the 1st time, and I'll definitely be back. The staff were all really friendly and the food was fantastic. You pay a little more than other places but I'd personally say it's well worth it. I like the fact you can add extras onto your meal and the prices are all clear on the menu. They have plenty of specials and also happy hour early evening where a pint is about 4. The cocktails were really good. Great views and a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend.

Wonderful place. I had the roasted chicked and the Beef butty - Amazing stuff. They even do freshly squeezed orange juice. Great views of the sea, and nice place to hang out. Great collection of wine.
