More about: Matsuri

Matsuri seems to be one of France’s famous Japanese restaurants with more than 16 branches including different parts of Paris, Lyon, Reims and Saint-Etienne. In its Passy branch, Matsuri has a long conveyor belt serving more than 40 guests all along the way from the kitchen, back and forth.

I really don’t know if its my luck but I have yet to try try good Japanese food in Paris. I don’t know if their way of preparing is different than others places I have tried, especially in Lebanon, but something is off. Matsuri is my third disappointing Japanese dinner experience in Paris – very average sushi in a place they consider high-end and expensive.

The place:

  • Matsuri has tables around the main part of conveyor belt making the place spacious enough to cater to more guests around the moving snake
  • A dimmed light welcomes you but it’s not enough to see what you are eating
  • A big open kitchen where you can see food being prepared live
  • Two cash machines, one for the dine-in customers and another for the take-away orders
  • Tables of long wooden strips create a nice ambiance
  • Black leather and metal chairs
