Japanese Restaurant at Nusa Dua Bali for your choice

Any restaurant that is still around after more than fifteen year in business has to be pretty good. Opened back in the early nineties, Matsuri Japanese Garden restaurant near the Grand Hyatt in Nusa Dua is one of those long term players that has built its reputation on solid no nonsense Japanese cuisine in a cozy traditional atmosphere. The first thing you will notice about the restaurant is the outdoor seating. Complete with hanging paper lanterns, manicured Zen gardens and babbling ponds, the outdoor garden seating is very atmospheric and popular with guests.

To your left is the main dining area. Matsuri’s many seating options mean that it is suitable for any occasion; be it a romantic dinner for two in the garden a rousing party at one of the teppanyaki counters able to seat up to 25 respectively. A family dinner, a business meeting can be placed in a private room or at the sushi counter.
