Dear teachers,
1) Passing my driving test was so good a feeling that … (is this construction correct ? If yes, how can I complete the sentence, please?)
2) We had a rather good meal even though the restaurant is not that popular. (correct ? Have you got a better sentence perhaps?)
All the best,
Hela

1) Passing my driving test was so good a feeling that … (is this construction correct ? If yes, how can I complete the sentence, please?) . . .that I went to a nice restaurant to celebrate. You could also say
. . . such a good feeling that . . ., I think that's a bit more natural.
2) We had a rather good meal even though the restaurant is not that popular. (correct ? Have you got a better sentence perhaps?) It's fine. You might also say 'was not all that popular'. It depends on how long ago you had the meal, and whether the restaurant is still not popular.
Best wishes, Clive
1. Passing my driving test was such a great feeling!

The construction "so + adjective + a" is incorrect in such a context. Wrong register.
