Keisuke Matsushima
About
Keisuke Matsushima, a Japanese‑born chef turned Michelin‑starred connoisseur, brings a daring fusion of Japanese discipline, French elegance and Mediterranean warmth to the heart of Nice. After studying classic French cuisine in Tokyo and honing his craft under culinary luminaries such as Régis Macón and the frères Pourcel, he opened his first restaurant in 2002, earning a Michelin star in 2006. Today the modest 40‑seat venue, nestled on 22 ter Rue de France, showcases a seasonal menu that celebrates the freshest market produce while honoring the chef’s own Japanese heritage. Each dish is a narrative of place, meticulously crafted and served either in the bustling dining room or at the intimate chef’s table for eight guests. The restaurant is open from 12:00 for lunch Tuesday‑Friday and from 19:30 for dinner throughout the week, with Monday and Saturday offering only dinner evenings. With a deft hand that pairs Asian and Western techniques, Keisuke Matsushima delivers an unforgettable culinary journey that invites diners to taste the artistry of two worlds intertwined.
