Restaurant Matsunoki

Excellent! Dining at Matsunoki was perfect from start to finish, which is why we keep coming back. The sushi was delicious, creative in composition and beautifully presented. Each piece was crafted with precision and care, making it clear that the Chefs at Matsunoki care about delivering the best. The service is impeccable - attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. Heartfelt thank you to Gerasim, who did a superb job. The interior design of the restaurant is another highlight. The space is elegant, yet cozy. The materials are of the highest quality. I highly recommend Matsunoki, a world class restaurant. It’s a true gem on Lošinj Island.

🎖️9/10 🥩: Extraordinary restaurant. Keep in mind it has Michelin recommendation. Offers a decent sized menu, Japanese A5 Wagyu, different types of sushi and nice deserts. Portions are a bit on the smaller side, but incredible in quality. Definitely try sushi - Wagyu A5 🍸: Japanese Sake, classic drinks 👨‍🍳: The staff is legendary. Lana waitress was very polite, helpful, friendly & explained everything there for us. (We asked a lot). Also other staff was very descriptive as well, big props. 🏡: Ambience is beautiful modern and Japanese combo. Regular and half circle couches with dining tables. Also has an outdoor space. 💰 Depends a lot on what you order. About 80 per person. 🥲 Bad things: Tiny thing but the menu could have images, especially for sushi. Also more different drinks 👍👎: Recommended to try something new, something wild. But acknowledge that it is fine dining and it's higher price.

We didnt try the Sushi cause my wife couldn’t eat it at the moment, but they looked delicious on our neighbors table. We had the Wagyu Gyoza, the beef ribs and teriyaki steak, all were cooked to perfection. Also the deserts where exquisite. Service was very professional and friendly and also the chef came himself to ask if everything was alright after a few minutes after serving the main dish (3 min rule). Will definitely be back to also try the sushi next time and can really recommend this restaurant in the beautiful Bellevue Hotel!

It is not easy to write a review on this restaurant. I try rally to be objective. 1) food is excellent with several exceptions like sushi which is not bad, but not excellent. I do not agree with previous reviews criticizing food. It is nicely and creatively served, fresh and from quality stuff. It is fusion cuisine, not pure japanesse which can cause misunderstanding. However, 2) it is not Micheline star quality. Probably, Michelin commisionaire did not order sushi or several other items. 3) in Micheline star restaurant you expect good management and atmosphere. Here, the door to the toilet are impaired, cannot be closed and it is opened to the restaurant the whole evening. It is really bizzare. Also, outdoor terrase is somehow average and not secluded from other hotel premises. 4) there is probably no unemployment in Croatia or personnel received no training. We had young guy who had no idea whom to serve first at the table, pushed us and removed unfinished dishes without asking. The worse or even offensive was when he started to serve on the table when half of the people were in the bathroom. They call it Micheline star and they take automatically 5% for service. 5) the price of your bill does not correspond to what you get. You are not likely to come again.

Matsunoki was our favorite place to eat sushi on island Lošinj. Unfortunately, the quality of food is not as good as previous years. The waiter called Filip was also rude and unfriendly with us. He said that restaurant is full which was really interesting because the whole restaurant inside was empty. In such a restaurant, that is unacceptable behaviour. When we talk about prices, it is too expensive for what is offered. I highly do NOT RECOMMEND!

Would not go back, do not recommend to anyone. Beware of the exorbitant prices for cheap salmon and tuna. We were asked if we wanted champagne on arrival which we said yes to, without knowing the price. Turns out it was £20 each glass of champagne. We also ordered a bottle or wine from 2018 and the waiter tried it obviously to see if it was good but basically poured himself a full glass, I was shocked as it again was so expensive. Plus it's not like it was an old bottle.. it's stored well and from 2018 so I can't imagine he needs almost a full glass to "try" it. 2/4 of us thought one type of sushi roll tasted like paint. Quite shocking as we saw so many good reviews and were really looking forward to spending our friends bday there. We also pre planned for flowers on the table and a birthday desert which they forgot. Honestly, do not waste your money. If you've had sushi in Japan or any other fancy restaurant in ANY country you'll be disappointed. I hope this restaurant improves. Service was good though, hence the 3 stars.
