    I love this restaurant. I dined here in 2022 and loved it so much that I went for lunch yesterday. I had the tasting menu with wine pairings. The decor is lovely, the service very good, and the dishes inventive and delicious. They were also a nice size, not too large, for me. Some Americans might find the portions too small, but for a tasting menu, I like to do just that: taste and not feel excessively full at the end of the meal. I highly recommend Keisuke Matusima Restaurant in Nice, France.

    Keisuke is always a guarantee. Top notch food, peculiar service with a Japanese/French touch and their Menu Dejeuner Retour du Marché unbeatable quality/cost wise. Top!

    I love everything I ate!! The wine selection was superb. The only thing I wished it was better was the temperature, it was a bit warm. But I would still go back next time I’m in Nice!

    When I opened the door to the restaurant, I just fell in love with this place. It had a different vibe from other waterfront of nice. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. And each single dish had beautiful presentation. One of my favorite dish was fish dish. The sauce was flavory and it has good harmony with everything. The other dishes are also fabulous. From the Beginning to the end I also felt delicate service. It was such a magical night.

    A Lovely quiet terrace, very attentive, although not stifling wait staff and the food as good as always. This is our third trip and we extol the restaurant’s virtues to whoever is going to Nice.

    10/10

    First of all, I was glad to have sake Hakushu, the oyster dish was very appetizing and delicious (with a slight bite of shiso!!), and the veal steak and asparagus were tender and the seasoning and sauce were good! Vongole pasta was just so-so. There were two servers who were reasonably friendly and comfortable.

    We have been guests at Keisuke Matsushima since he started in Nice 21 years ago. Always great food, frienly and competent service every time, and an excellent wine cellar. Look forward to come back again. Best regards Christian Schwartzbach. Denmark

    Did not know before we arrived that all the seating was OUTSIDE. No mention on the website or when we booked. Cool evening and we were cold, as were other diners who asked for blankets! Very good food but uninspiring dessert.

    Nice wine list and can choose either tasting menus or a la carte - beautifully prepared and tasty food, a little pricey.

  • Herb M.1 review

    4.5/10

    I’d been here about a decade ago and was looking forward to return visit. The restaurant looked exactly the same and a bit battered here and there. One of the plates on the table had obviously see the dishwasher too often. But that was fine. We decided to go with the ‘surprise’ menu option with wine pairings. The courses arrived with barely more than a one word description at times. The beef course was introduced as ‘beef’. That was it. Certainly a surprise I guess. The beef was actually the best course. The others ranged from okay to blech. One of the amuse Bouche tasters was like a socca that had sat out too long and dried out. The dessert was nearly tasteless. I so wanted to enjoy this meal, but felt it was tired, uninspired and we did not feel like valued patrons.

    This is a little gem of a restaurant set in a quiet pretty green square on Rue de France. It used to be a Michelin starred restaurant and the care and exquisite detail shows from this Japanese chef, the food is gourmet at reasonable prices, tasty & beautifully prepared. Despite the name it is not Japanese but modern French. We eat here every time we are in Nice.

    Guardian food critic, Grace Dent, shone a light on this delightful restaurant for us, is tucked away in a quieter part of Nice but still not far from Promenade des Anglais. The engaging mix of traditional French cuisine fused with Japanese flavours and ingredients is a joy to behold. There's a perfect balance between the two methods such that the traditional is not only maintained but enhanced by the addition of these new players. Excellent service and a great lunchtime menu at a really interesting price. Go on, give it a try.

    This restaurant is in a quiet spot with nice courtyard, yet just a block or two from the main, busy restaurant drag. We went for the set priced lunch where you could choose either two or three courses. Food was well presented and delicious, albeit a little pricey. Service was excellent. The little complimentary mini d'oeuvres were an added bonus! Would definitely return.

    Great little restaurant just outside the main drag of restaurants in the newer area of Nice. A pity that there were building works on there at the time of our visit, but that didn't negatively impact the quality of the food.

    My favourite dish is the Oysters!! Love how the delightful taste of yuzu dashi to give such refreshment to the oysters. :)

    We have done some research before we picked a restaurant. We have high expectation for this Michelin 1 star restaurant (but not sure if it lost the star this year as we cannot find the Michelin award). However, the overall tasting experience does not worth 150€+(60€ vine drinking) per person.

    If your looking for amazing, just go. A small unassuming spot, incredible food, excellent service and the wine pairing made the experience. Go in with an open mind, try something new and this will be in your list of top dining experiences.
