About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Step into Café Matisse, where art and cuisine blend seamlessly in a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Tucked away behind the historic Parliament Square in downtown Nassau, our restaurant is housed in a beautifully preserved 100-year-old building that once served as a firehouse and later a library.
Today, it stands as a testament to timeless elegance, offering an atmosphere that is both charming and inviting.

At Café Matisse, dining is an experience meant to be savored. Guests can enjoy an intimate indoor setting rich with artistic influence or retreat to our serene outdoor courtyard, where lush greenery and twinkling lights create a tranquil escape from the bustling streets of Nassau.

Whether you’re here for a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner, or a special celebration, our dedicated team ensures that each visit is memorable.

    The setting was quaint. The servers were friendly, engaging and efficient. The ravioli with spinach was a little under seasoned but the ravioli with potatoes and mushrooms was flavorful. The lamb with mash, curry sauce and spinach was cooked to perfection. The noise level was such that we could have a discussion without shouting. Would visit again!

    I had this restaurant recommended multiple times and made a reservation. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the wines were reasonably priced, and the staff was very attentive. We do not make it to Nassau often, but this one will be on the rotation the next time we get back to the Bahamas.

    The hogfish was deliciously prepared, the Parmesan salad was very small, but the Parmesan bread that it came with was excellent! Mahi-Mahi was really good along with the many pasta selections! Wine list was a bit over the top expensive, but, we settled on a nice bottle of Sangiovese for $56 and it was very tasty! I have to comment on the espresso coffee with brandy, the ice cream coffee with fresh made whipped cream and the sorbet selections for dessert. Outstanding! Service was attentive and we really loved seeing all the Henri Matisse prints on all the walls of the restaurant I would very much recommend having lunch or dinner at Cafe Matisse! You will not be disappointed

    We went for my mother's birthday and the surprise cake and singing at the end was very well executed. The food was very good for all of us, though I strayed from my usual filet mignon order which is typically excellent for the sirloin steak. Though I had asked for the temperature to be medium, it came closer to medium well and the flavour was not at the standard of the filet. While the service my mother received was excellent, I had to remind our server of the wine order I had requested that did not come out with my meal. That would ordinarily not have been noteworthy but for my request at the end of dinner for a glass of port wine that never arrived. I chose not to follow it up as it was late enough in the evening and it seemed that attention was being prioritized to patrons more recently seated. For the price paid, the food delivers but perhaps service during busy periods comes with a small asterisk.
