About

Talabar is an oyster bar in Grandia Place on Mother Ignacia Avenue that calls itself Quezon City's first premium oyster bar. Aklan oysters come baked, grilled, Rockefeller-style, as sizzling sisig, ceviche or fried poppers. They sit next to Filipino sharing plates such as sizzling beef sinigang, crispy pata kare-kare and sizzling bulalo, plus sangria and cocktails. Weekends bring DJ and throwback nights.
