We love to come back to the place for their peace of mind, however our recent experience was anything but peace of mind, from the none welcoming hello, to the bold hint to free the space in mid breakfast.
The food was great, but we left the place with bad after taste. Not sure if it was the Saturday morning shift or just the new approach to customers. I will look for alternatives before I select Talbia the next time.
Fantastic food and great atmosphere!
Located in a gorgeous neighborhood, this restaurant delivers a top-tier dining experience. We went with 3 starters, 2 mains, and a dessert. Honestly, the food is incredible—there is clearly a very talented hand in this kitchen.
The only dish that missed the mark slightly was the tartar, which tasted a bit bland to me. However, the presentation and execution were still beautiful.
As for the service, the staff were friendly, but it could have been a bit more attentive and sharp. It is on the expensive side, but all in all, it's well worth the price

Stopped by Talbiye for an early dinner. Been coming here for ages, and now finally reviewing it. As usual, it did not disappoint. Started out with Guillardeau oysters. Which are some of the best French oysters around. Meaty, with a delicious, briny liquor, they satisfied my craving for bivalves. My dining companion had the octopus skewers. Surprisingly tender (My experience with other restaurants, the octopus is chewy), with a delicate mouth feel, and delicious flavor. Beef bourguignon was my entree of choice, tender beef, veg, and a delicious puree with gravy lit up my taste buds. My companion went with the pork ribs. The serving was quite large. Ditto with the tenderness, and flavor. The verdict was two thumbs up. Can't go wrong with Talbiye.

Food was really delicious but service was really bad - we got cold dishes instead hot and partially served meal. For example - we ordered french breakfast and got breads with butter and coffee, without juice and jam. After few repeated remainders we received bizarre amount of jam ( something about half of tea spoon) but never had our juice...

We had great time, the food was delicious, we sat outside at noon so it was a bit too hot, maybe more fans could help more with the heat. We will definitely return for more fun.
