Tibu Bar and Eatery in Sefton

I've only been there once, had a drink. Very nice place 👌

7 main courses served, all but one served barely warm. We mentioned it but couldn’t be bothered sending it back. If a kitchen has such low standards to send food out like that, then I’d assume they were only going to microwave it and send it back. It’s a long time since I had a worse meal than that.

Another delicious meal last night at Tibu. Cauliflower bang bang is a fantastic starter, the mains were perfect. The kids fish and chips is brilliant. The fish is so fresh my 6 year old loves it. Everytime we go here for tea the food is fantastic.

Lovely place to meet with friends on a Saturday.We chose a variety of sushi which were all delicious as well as chorizo and duck spring rolls.All were excellent.

A great little find in the heart of town. Myself and a friend visited here for dinner whilst at Formby Hotel. We ordered lots of starters as we fancied trying a few things on the menu and each dish was amazing. Service was fantastic, the restaurant is beautiful and atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Visited for my first time a couple of months back. Food was fantastic, we haven’t managed to go back again yet but planning to very soon! Food was delicious, particularly the firecracker shrimp! Also the steak was lovely!

Another delicious meal at Tibu! Welcomed by the ever cheerful and professional Marco, the other staff were all efficient and friendly, we were soon seated with our drinks. The spicy prawn starter was tasty and beautifully cooked, the goats cheese balls were also good. Then our table of 4 had the always brilliant fillet steak, with sides of brocolli, carrots and onion rings, perfectly cooked. A good malbec with the steaks and creme brulee and cheeseboard for dessert, a lovely end to another great meal. Nick the chef really knows what he's doing and everything we ate was really good. Already craving another fab steak!

Valentines Date Night - our 41st ! As an old Cynic I’d grown to believe that Valentines Day was a commercial rip off ! ……….. Wrong ! Marco front of house as always very welcoming with his team , friendly , efficient service . A welcome Prosecco on the sharing menu , what a fabulous combination of dishes , all perfectly cooked with the best quality ingredients. The main was the best Chateaubriand we have ever had ,perfectly cooked, and displayed . Superb peppercorn sauce ,wonderful chips and broccoli. Rounded off with a trio of deserts and a red rose for the lady ! Perfect Well done to Nick, head chef , as always a very complete ,imaginative menu , perfectly executed by the whole team. And the cost for these 5 courses a very reasonable £55 per head . Thank you all ..what a great meal !

First time at TIBU last night. We went as a large group of friends and I can't wait to return. I was impressed as soon as I walked through the door. Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and great service. I had the duck spring rolls, which were crammed with duck and absolutely delicious. I then had the best steak I have ever had and topped it all off with yummy sticky toffee pudding. Thank you for a great night and a wonderful meal.

This is an exceptional restaurant that never disappoints! I love the half price steak nights on a Wednesday and Thursday. Today I ordered the featherblade of beef and we had a range of small dishes to start including sushi, king prawns and popcorn shrimp. It was all delicious.

We came on a Friday night in December for my birthday meal, amazing! The staff always go above and beyond. We were able to choose of the christmas party night menu and the main menu. Spoilt for choice! I had the duck maki sushi as a starter. And the truffle tagliatelle for the main. Thoroughly enjoyed both dishes! They had a DJ in house this night which gave it a good atmosphere. The only thing is i would not call it a party night.

First time visit, very impressed Very good menu We all had Sunday lunch, Beef or Chicken All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the excellent service

We enjoyed a delicious lunch today at Tibu. After all that Turkey I chose fish and chips. The batter was light fluffy and crispy and the fish was good quality and fresh. As all food is cooked to order everything was piping hot. Marco and his front of house team are so welcoming nothing seems too much trouble . Head chef Nick is second to none and his staff are proud to be on show through the glass walls. I am delighted to find a restaurant that ticks ALL the boxes. Happy new year to all !

We booked Tibu for 50th birthday bash which was on NYE 2023 The food was tasty but portion size very small. The DJ and disco was the othee4 end of the resturant from where we was sat so didn't feel part of the New Year celebrations which was what we was mainly there for. £65 per person for what we got seemed very overpriced The starter was roasted veg soup or duck terrine there was no other choice. Main was chicken breast with small dollop of potato and one piece of stem broccoli. The veggie option was pasta Dessert was ferraro Roche cheesecake There was no welcome drink on arrival and the food was served very quickly. We let the new year in and left soon as we could

Went as a group of 12 for new year's Eve and it was absolutely terrible. We were sat at the entrance and you couldn't hear the disco. We could have gone to wetherspoons and had the same atmosphere experience and better food for a fraction of the price. Majority of everyone at the entrance end of the bar left before 11.15 as it was that crap. Food was appalling, looked pathetic on the plate. Dessert vile. Ruined the night and we all said we wouldn't go back again for new year. Unable to provide the night they advertised, bar not equipped with sound to link disco to speaks for all areas of the venue. Over priced for what you got. Avoid for new year unless you guaranteed a set near the disco area. Zero atmosphere & very slow ordering & getting drinks

Best roast dinner around, outstanding service, value for money and such tasty food. Couldn’t recommend enough. It’s also a small local business who work hard to deliver a fantastic service to our community

Although the food might not look super attractive, it is super delicious! I had hoisin duck spring rolls, feather blade of beef and Christmas pudding which brought me lots of positive emotions about themselves. The meat is perfectly soft and juicy. The outer shell of the duck rolls is pleasingly crispy, and the rolls are served with little sour sauce that ideally suits to the dish. Especially I want to recommend having Christmas pudding with brandy sauce and rum butter. That alcoholic aftertaste is unbelievably good with the pudding itself. It made me want to try making something similar at home. Pleasant service. However, it is not cheap, be ready to pay for quality.

Excellent Christmas Day family dinner. The food was superb and the portion sizes were very generous. The service provided by Marco and his team considering how busy they were was excellent. We are already planning to book again for next year !! WELL DONE TIBU !!

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Formby, wonderful food and staff. Will definitely be returning. 🤩

Fabulous Sunday dinner for the family, cooked to perfection! coupled with outstanding service from all the great team and great value for money makes this place a straight 10/10 for me, will be back next week!

I eat regularly at this Restaurant lunch and evening. It is excellent. The food is designed by a very inventive chef Nick who has built a superb team who make the delicious food. The variety is amazing, regular additions to the Menu and enticing offers. Always professionally presented by pleasant and welcoming staff expertly led by Marko. Fabulous Cocktails. I recently held my 80th Birthday celebration here , 22 friends for a full and excellent Menu, table beautifully laid , lovely Birthday cake, attentive staff all enhanced by Music and dancing Provided by a contact of mine. A very happy and enjoyable evening, my friends were amazed by the quality and ambiance. A wonderful memory I shall cherish.

Popped in to Tibu for a Sunday Roast for a change and I have to say I was really impressed Attentive staff, good atmosphere and superb food! My wife is vegetarian and really enjoyed her wellington I’d definitely recommend

Wonderful food, excellent attentive staff, warm welcome, great ambience and reasonably priced menu. Good choice of food, will definitely go again and looking forward to it. Lisa our server looked after us very well, Chris the chef cooked a fabulous sea bream and Marco the Maitre d was most welcoming. The picture says it all 😁.

A walk in late after work and the waitress kindly asked the head chef whether they could fit us in and luckily nothing was too much! Service with a smile. There were many tables finishing their last round of pornstar martinis! And another getting their...

Somewhat disappointed with the experience vs the local hype. I anticipated a first class restaurant but to be honest the food was quite uninspiring and the service whilst efficient enough, lacked engagement and the personal touch that makes a dining atmosphere special. Prices were fair but I found the food no better than a local "Frankie and Benny's" - overall a C+ definitely a rethink of the whole concept needed here 😏

Very good food excellent service if i had a gripe it would be gluten free menu

Everytime everything is brilliant 👏

Amazing food & service . Unfortunately we were told card only . I had cash to pay for our meals as I always do as I mostly deal in cash sales in my job. Luckily I had my card on me .

Average rating based on the fact that the owners do not respond to their reviewers, shows a lack of interest to the client. Outside of that, very good. Very mixed menu from various different countries, personally think its over the top, but some good options....

Average rating based on the fact that the owners do not respond to their reviewers, shows a lack of interest to the client. Outside of that, very good. Very mixed menu from various different countries, personally think its over the top, but some good options. We all (4 of us) ended up going for the Fillet Steak, and it was tasty with some excellent sides and a great pepper sauce. Deserts, cheese cake was excellent, the TIMU mars chef special was a failed attempt at a mars bar. Good though.

The bang bang cauliflower for starter was delicious, not too strongly seasoned just perfect. Teriyaki beef salad for main was amazing! Perfect amount of dressing and a lovely size for a light meal. Would highly recommend coming here even just for a drink. All staff...

I visited here on Sunday in June. I had just said to someone the day before that I had not had a decent meal anywhere in years and then I visited Tibu. The staff were so attentive and friendly and we ordered our drinks and then we all ordered Sunday roasts either chicken or beef. The food came out super quick and again the staff were super obliging. I asked for extra gravy and they brought out two jugs incase anyone else wanted some. Not only were the staff helping but they were constantly smiling making us all feel so welcome and no trouble. Even the barstaff checked frequently if we needed anymore drinks. When the food arrived it looked amazing but looked a little small except it turned out to being just the right amount. The food was incredible all the veg was so fresh and absolutely full of flavour. I didn't know how they cook the veg but I suspect it was steamed as to have such strong flavours it surely couldn't be boiled. I got cauliflower cheese green beans carrot and swede and garlic cabbage. The roast potatoes tasted great with a slight crisp and my beef just melted in my mouth. The gravy was gorgeous too. The only slight criticism was all our Yorkshire puddings were a little over done and very dry but I just poured gravy over them. I really am not exaggerating that this Sunday roast was the best I have had eating out anywhere and the food quality was the best meal I have had in a restaurant in years. I cant wait to try other food here in the near future. A little bit pricier than other local restaurants in say Ainsdale Birkdale or southport but I would pay even more if this is the quality of their meals and service. Absolutely excellent I assure you

Good restaurant, attentive staff - chose tacos which where a little underwhelming and presentation poor with fresh accompaniemts looking sad. Outside area could do with a sweep and clean. But excellent staff service.

Absolutely incredible food and service. Highly recommend. The atmosphere throughout the restaurant creates a lovely vibe, thoroughly enjoyable visit and will visit again next week.

Excellent food and excellent service, a busy Easter Sunday but we were thoroughly well looked after even though we were a large party. Could not have been bettered and scrupulously clean !

Food and service were second to none, just a bit cold in the back part of the restaurant.

Food was spot on, staff so professional, we all had a great time. Thank u Tibu

I’m a regular at their Wednesday and Thursday steak nights. The fillet steak is always excellent and at a 50 percent reduction in price. The sides and service are also great. Keep it up!

We both had fillet steak, cooked perfectly as requested. A hugely indulgent sticky toffee pudding and cheese plate to follow. The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. .

A little expensive but still lucky to find a table! Enjoyed the meal

Absolutely mouth watering steak. Great atmosphere, lovely setting and excellent staff. Definitely making this a regular

Dined 28/01. Drinks order taken quickly. Had bread and dip followed by duck spring roll. This was delicious as always. We both opted for the pork special cooked three ways. The black pudding mash was lovely. Atmosphere was good with the restaurant being busy. Staff...

Tibu has become my favourite restaurant anywhere, the food is amazing and the service is really friendly and professional. It is always busy. I have never had a nicer Sunday lunch. I’m going again this Friday.

Great food lovely staff excellent service all around

Brilliant food and great service, could not have asked for more, my turkey dinner was amazing and everyone in the party had a great time, thank you !

Had a lovely Birthday meal with my wife at Tibu during their Thursday steak evening. The atmosphere was really nice, the staff were great and the food was amazing. We will definitely be going back and can highly recommend 👍🏻

Attended here on Saturday night just before Christmas. I hadn't booked. Was given a table for 2 straight away even though it was full. Food, service and atmosphere excellent all round. Will definitely come back.

I had fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. The steak was slightly over cooked but the sauce was inedible it was that peppery. Friends had the feather beef which they said was tough and dry. Disappointing as last time I ate here it was amazing. Sticky...

Fabulous restaurant, great food every time I've been.

Absolutely class place. Marco is an extremely welcoming and friendly host, with a genuine interest in his patrons. And food to die for ! Tom Fitzsimons Ballyjamesduff Ireland 🇮🇪

Steak night is amazing value for money and the beef they source is excellent quality. Nice ambience and friendly staff. Marked down to 4 because i think the wine list lacks some quality

Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere! I really like it!

Only wish I'd ordered more food.

Excellent food served by lovely people. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Really enjoyed the experience. Will definitely return.

Superb steak night, quite possibly one of the best cooked fillets I’ve ever had. We had a delicious cosmopolitan cocktail each, a fillet steak and shared a bottle of wine between 3 and it worked out at £30pp !! Antonia and Marco head up a...

We enjoyed our visit, it was on steak night and the quality and value were exceptional. We were served by a lovely young lady called Lauren who was very knowledgeable and polite. We will certainly visit again. Thank you Tibu.

Lovely atmosphere, quality food n not too expensive for lunch

Excellent food service and good atmosphere

We ate here as a treat for my birthday and the staff were great and the food was amazing… but the whole experience was so rushed which was really disappointing. Our starters came five minutes after we ordered and then our mains came immediately after...

Myself and my wife are regular visitors but on this occasion we visited with my mum and dad, Sushi all round, all 4 of us come away looking forward to our next visit at Tibu.

We visited Tibu after a day out at Formby beach. As you walked in, the interior was lovely. The food on the other hand, not so much! It was presented beautifully, but was quite bland. We were not given a drinks or kids menu. We...

Lovely friendly service. Will definitely be back.

We went for the Thursday 3 starters or sushi for £17. We had 6 between us and they were all delicious, I loved the popcorn shrimp and yasai gyozas the best but enjoyed everything we ordered. We had dessert, cheesecake and Mars dome and left...

I have eaten here on a couple of occasions and value greatly the quality of produce used and the way it is coked and presented. I approached the Chef about catering for a party of 25, his choice of food matched to wine and it...

Very disappointed we had purposely left it a while to try and I would have to say we wouldn’t go back. Sorry but certainly not worth the money. Very disappointing, starters tasteless and mains not hot enough.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast lunch or dinner. Head chef Nick and his lovely staff are so welcoming the food is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. 😊 thank you to all 😀

Nick the head chef is a star. Not only is the food excellent but so is he and all his staff are so welcoming. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner too. My Sunday lunch group are a fussy lot and they love it.......mmm.....

Wonderful service again, amazing food again. Loved the duck spring rolls and all of the sushi dishes we ordered. Always have fabulous food at Tibu 👍👍👍👍 Brought our daughter her dessert with a birthday message, lovely finishing touch to an excellent meal. Thank you

We went for a birthday dinner, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. All 4 of us loved it! The food was great and the service was fantastic. Every member of staff was happy to help and chatty, I wish I could receive this level of service...

Sushi was amazing. Couldn’t fault anything at all. Service great as usual. Definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful place, superb ambience, great staff and astonishing food. A great place to go for your tea or a special night out.

Jubilee Steak Night. Great Service and Food, only our second visit but, we'll be back. Didn't realise they do Sunday Lunch as not seen this advertised anywhere (apart from inside rhe Restaurant).

Had my first visit recently To Tibu and was very impressed. Great Menu and if you like Japanese you are in for a treat. Nice warm welcome and an attractive Eatery. A wee bit short staffed and some staff obviously new but we managed to...

The food quality is probably the best in Formby that I have had, Sushi is absolutely wonderful. There is something for everyone, you could have sushi, fish & chips, steak or just share some picky tapas style dishes. Decor is wonderful, at first glance the...

I'd give them six stars if I could! When you order a steak medium rare, and it actually comes medium rare and not over cooked you know you're in for a good meal! Tibu did not disappoint, exquisite taste, perfectly cooked and very attentive staff. Also very good with allergies (gluten free), and will do their best to cater to your needs even if they have to adapt their menu! Will be coming again very soon, thank you for the excellent service 💜

Really good food and great staff X

The food is delicious, the service is excellent and we can't wait to go back! The veggie options are a little limited but we spoke to the very friendly staff and they said that the menu will be changing to accommodate more veggie and vegan options. I for one am looking forward to trying the new menu! This is the restaurant Formby has sorely needed for so long!

First time there tryed the chicken mrs had a filet steak both were loverly staf were very frendley

Really nice place, great food lovely decor and very busy overall a lovely experience

All of us really enjoyed our food..only when we left did we remember we'd asked for olives, & didn't get them... We forgot to check if we'd paid for them .. not getting them didn't impact on our enjoyment

This is a beautiful restaurant with great outside space and a variety of drinks. Unfortunately, there are no options for vegans and no oat milk for coffee. This would be a great place if they could accommodate vegans. I would happily return for drinks :)

Finally went to Tibu today - given we live in Formby I can only say that I am gutted we didn’t go sooner. Sat out i the sunshine at lunchtime we shared the 25 piece maki and nagiri sharing board and thoroughly enjoyed it. I...

Superb food and service, lovely venue. Love the open kitchen approach.

Good welcome, staff attentive. Food was excellent & we will definitely be returning again

Lovely little place. Staff were lovely and attentive. Food was great. Sushi was the best. Little more salt on the padron peppers maybe? Otherwise legitimately good food

I have visited Tibu before with friends and so I knew how good it was and my recent visit exceeded my expectations. Myself and my husband went for Valentines night and from the minute we entered we were treated amazingly by all of the staff...

Our third visit. Made to feel very welcome. Fab cocktails. Food excellent. Great atmosphere. Really good service Loved it 😋

Great staff made my daughter's 30th birthday party such a lovely experience. Food was fantastic for all vegetarians included. Thank you

Great lunch menu. The gnocchi and chocolate tart were the particular highlights. Lovely decor.

We've known Tibu in various guises for many years but when we heard he'd recently opened a restaurant we were genuinely surprised. It's in a nicer location than you'd expect from the street view online and nicely done inside. It should be no surprise to...

Great food, great atmosphere, good value

3 course lunch at TIBU would highly recommend,cost £20 great value for money food was excellent will be going again

Visited today for lunch and had a wonderful experience , very good food and presentation and excellent customer service and lovely relaxed atmosphere shall definitely return to sample more of the menu

Had the privilege of knowing Tibu for many years and genuinely excited and so happy he is here with his own amazing restaurant. Heart and soul has gone into this place, as for the crafting of the menu that brings through flavours of sunnier climbs is unquestionably fantastic. Extensive and well created cocktail list too. Warm, friendly, authentic, delicious!!!

Great food, nice atmosphere , good service Will definitely come again Nice choice of cocktails and wine , had the salmon nigiri for starter and the halibut as main and they were delicious

Good to see a restaurant like this in Formby. Vibrant atmosphere, efficient and welcoming service, good food (especially duck). Very minor point was the wine we ordered was t chilled. This was replaced though as the waiter recognised.

First time at Tibu. Food was delicious , service super quick and decor was really nice. Will definitely go back.

My first trip to Tibu, certainly not my last. Lovely friendly staff, and exceptional food. Menu was very varied, something to suit all tastes.

Lovely restaurant attentive knowledgeable staff food is excellent a gem in our village

Visited with husband on a Saturday night. You can select from a standard menu/sushi or both. Along with bread & dip and starters, we had for mains steak and halibut. Steak cooked perfectly and the halibut was fabulous. We optioned for the desert platter. However,...
