The ABC of Casabea
Nestled on one of the most historic streets in the heart of the Peninsula, not far from the famous Mercière street, the Casabea restaurant enchants with its bohemian spirit, and most importantly, its delicious refined cuisine inspired by the south. In a cozy and warm atmosphere, adorned with greenery as if to remind us of beautiful summer days, we find ourselves dreaming of holidays and Provence while sipping a delightful cocktail.

"Mediterranean, to the sunny golden islands…"
The heart and soul behind this delightful spot, the "Casa (-bea)," are the talented couple Béatrice and Grégoire Talamon. They kicked off their restaurant journey in 2019, bringing their vibrant dream to life in this sunny haven. And talk about personality! The atmosphere is embraced by warm hues and enchanting scents of velvet, rattan, wood, and stone. It’s an elegant and distinguished decor, beautifully crafted by Nathalie Tomolillo (Pop and Shoes) and Océane Ravinet, the interior architect. Here, the spirit of the south is not just a drink; it envelops you completely! The Mediterranean is the essence of this cozy bar-restaurant. Throughout the year, you can soak in the ambiance on the outdoor patio, at the bar, or on the spacious and beautifully lit terrace, especially when the sun graces us, thanks to the charming pergola roof, and the loggia (an open yet sheltered balcony, a mezzanine, or a gallery). But of course, let's not forget… the food!

A delicious and enchanting menu
Or how the freshness of the ingredients can warm up hearts. In the kitchen, Chef Surendra - affectionately called Suren by friends - and his team have been creating recipes for Casabea since 2019. His dishes are crafted with fresh and seasonal products. While you’ll find some classic and essential dishes on the menu, the chef loves to serve up specialties that truly stand out. In fact, there’s buzzing chatter about his innovative dessert recipes! So, without delay, here’s a delightful sneak peek at the dishes that will surely catch your eye as you peruse the menu: for tapas and other tasty shared appetizers, indulge in red-dressed burrata with pesto and "pizza" crumble, Charolais beef tataki with ponzu sauce and Goji berries, or smoky octopus paired with its houmous sauce.

Sip top-notch cocktails
The Clash sang "Rock the Casbah", and we sing "Rock the Casabea". Remember how we mentioned cocktails at the start of this article? That’s…be<.
because the cocktail bar at the restaurant is a key part of Casabea's DNA. In fact, this cocktail bar is open until 1am. There's plenty of time to enjoy the art of mixology and a DJ vibe every Friday and Saturday night.
