MoreWe chances upon this restaurant and could not be happier about it. The hostess made arrangements to seat us on a busy Saturday. The starter we styled upon was the polenta with mushrooms and Parmesan. It was so good that as soon as we finished we ordered another. Our meals were Beef Bourguignon, Caesar Salad with Chicken and two incredible Club Sandwiches. Everything, down to the last detail was perfect. Then our server (3 people actually helped us) brought out complimentary fried calamari. Wow. Just wow. For dessert we ordered a lemon tart to share. It was as good as I’ve had in France and Belgium. But, we weren’t finished! They brought us a Cheesecake in a Cup. Oh my... The bottom line is that we loved every second in this cozy, welcoming restaurant. We will definitely come again.

MoreVisiting Jerusalem and found Talbiye from restaurant review blogs. Relaxing setting, friendly service, balanced drinks, and food (the important part) was excellent. French cuisine made from quality ingredients. My meal included soft bread with some of the best olive oil I’ve ever had (tracking down the company that makes it tomorrow), fish tartar with a nice bite of fresh herbs and sweet mango, pasta with a crab sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp, mussels, etc., and beef bourguignon that tasted exactly like the same dish I had in France (yes I ate a lot - don’t judge). The meal was also reasonably priced for all I ate and drank (a specialty cocktail and a glass of wine). Coming out to 270 shekels with tip, about $80 in all, but I ate two people’s worth of food (now I feel I need a disclaimer - it was my only meal of the day). Anywho. Definitely recommend!
