Blue Talon Bistro

The Blue Talon is a very popular and loved French bistro. Chef owned and operated by two “Cordon Bleu Cooking School" (in France) graduates, this local favorite opened almost 15 years ago in 2007. They are huge fans of Julia Child and her cooking show from the 60’s sometimes plays on a loop above the bar if it’s not the movie “Ratatouille”. Enjoy a taste of France at this local favorite and immerse yourself French culture as you dine in the beautifully decorated bar and dining areas featuring many cultural items that seem to come straight from the farmlands of France.
