My partner and I ate here as part of the After Dark Tour. The food was really, really good. We had the seafood entree, lamb for myself, steak for my partner, and chocolate pudding for desert. The seafood entree was quite large, and I particularly liked the pickled octopus. The lamb was very tender, and my boyfriend's rare steak was... More

We ate here as part of the night ghost tour. It was not a particular busy night. Two or three large tables of guests. The rest was made up of couples. Food was ordered and arrived quite quickly. The food was absolutely delicious and quite impressive. However we were ignored for most of the night. Not once were we asked... More

We ate here before taking the Port Arthur Ghost Tour. It is essentially the same room as the cafe, but with a dividing wall in-between. Although the setting wasn't anything special, we did really enjoy our meals. I had a pasta dish and it was huge. The meals were fairly pricey, but they were decent size servings. Service was also...

We decided to eat here at the end of the day after touring the historic site. We didn't have a booking but were seated immediately in a beautifully furnished dining room with log fire burning. The waitress advised on local ciders which I was keen to sample and her recommendation was just what I was after. Our food arrived quickly... More

We booked the After Dark Pass at Port Arthur, which included the ghost tour and 2 course meal at Felons. The bistro is just a partitioned portion of the visitor centre, but don't let that put you off. The food was delicious! Well cooked and massive portions, and the best chips ever! Worth a visit even if you're not going... More

Bought the $68 two course meal plus Ghost Tour package. Service was good, nice ambience, food was just average tho. I had the porterhouse steak, medium - it was more like well done. I do like my steak cooked the way I like it!

My steak was medium to welldone wen I ordered it medium , but it was still very good. My partner had the seafood chowder and thought it was really good. I think we ate too much but we walked it off in the Ghost Tour. Well worth a visit.

As one of the only restaurants in the area its kind of hard to judge this place if I hadn't been to Stewart's Lodge beforehand. The decor was like an 80's cafe, it was dark (even though outside was light) and the food was what I would call satisfactory. Service was good, they tried hard but with the place looking... More

Had the packaged dinner with the port Arthur ghost tour and came along with expectations of a standard packaged visitor centre meal. How wrong were we! The meals were bistro style and were fresh, good portion size and worthy of a great review. The special of the day, lamb rump with sides included(!) was beautifully cooked and tasty. Fish of... More
