Kei’s Passion

This intimate modern minimalist restaurant a block from the sea in Nice is where young Japanese chef Keisuke Matsushima concocts exquisite Mediterranean dishes with a stylish Asian twist. Banish the thought of fusion food: this Michelin-starred haunt is authentic southern French, but Kei’s artistry will surprise. Floral themes abound: sea-bass carpaccio sprinkled with edible blossoms, lamb with rosemary flowers, roast veal with carrot and nasturtium purée, and a divine white chocolate and rose-flavored pastry with raspberry mousse to finish.
