My wife and I had an amazing dinner here. The restaurant is on the waterfront, therefore the view of the sea from the restaurant is great, especially if you make a reservation around sunset. The place is rather small, so it has a nice cozy atmosphere. We really liked the concept that all ingredients are seasonal and sourced locally. The portions are rather small, so we ordered 7 dishes and bread, which was more than enough for us. As expected from a high-tier chef's restaurant. The dishes were original with interesting flavors and very tasty. Simple and clean presentation without any over complications. The menu concept is for people who value originality and unique flavors over portion size and are willing to share, otherwise you may be disappointed. The service was excellent, timely and polite. Our only suggestion is adding a fixed tasting menu designed by the chef. We highly recommend this restaurant and will probably visit again.

I have to say, this place is super expensive (and always has been), but that’s because it’s not just a restaurant — it’s genuinely a culinary experience. Of course, the portions are smaller than at a regular restaurant, but the creativity behind every dish, the combinations of flavors, and the quality of the ingredients make it really difficult to compare Treysar to anything else. What I especially love is their inventiveness. Some of the combinations sound like they shouldn’t necessarily work together, but somehow they do, and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into every element on the plate. It doesn’t feel like they’re trying to be unusual just for the sake of it — there’s a purpose behind the flavors and textures, and you end up tasting things in ways you probably haven’t before. It’s definitely not somewhere I’d go for a casual dinner when I’m just hungry, and the price reflects that. But if you’re going specifically for the experience, the originality, and the food itself, I think it’s absolutely worth trying.

If you haven’t been to Treysar yet, put it on your list immediately — especially if you can catch their happy hour from 6–7pm for 15% off. My friend and I grabbed a table with the most stunning waterfront view, and the food matched every bit of it. We started with the feta and tomatoes — simple, fresh, and beautifully presented — alongside the shoshka pepper (a slow-roasted sweet pepper dish), and the house bread, which arrived warm on a wooden board. The bread alone was worth the visit. I also ordered the green beans, which came plated elegantly in a rich sauce with thin shaved chips on top — honestly looked like fine dining but felt completely approachable. But the real showstopper? Dessert. A zaatar ice cream quenelle sitting on a bed of crumble, served with olive oil jam. It sounds unusual but tasted absolutely mind-blowing — earthy, creamy, and unlike anything I’ve had before. The setting — overlooking the waterfront through rustic iron railings at golden hour — made everything feel magical.

Price isn’t adequate to the quality of food. A few good dishes but more not good than good. Okra dish is huge , who wants to eat almost 20 huge pieces of raw Okra. Just a waste. Fish kebab too salty. One great dish was the orecchiette was. Desert was strange and not good. Seems to me they are trying too hard.
