Matisse the painter may have been thoroughly French, but Matisse the café leans more toward Italian.
Set in an 1800s home, the restaurant has a charming courtyard and an abundance of colorful art prints on the walls. It's located behind Parliament Square just steps away from the country's legal and business center in downtown Nassau, which makes it a popular lunch hangout for lawyers, politicians and local business persons.
The prix fixe menu changes regularly, taking advantage of the freshest available produce; dishes are creative and wonderfully flavorful. An a la carte menu is available on Sundays only.
Meals options include three, four or five courses with selections such as peppered lamb carpaccio, grilled shrimp wrapped with speck ham and Muscovy duck with roasted foie gras.
