Café Matisse Review

Low-slung settees, stucco arches, and reproductions of the eponymous artist's works set a casually refined tone at this restaurant owned by a husband-and-wife team—he's Bahamian, she's northern Italian. Sit in the ground-floor garden under large white umbrellas or dine inside the century-old house for lunch or dinner. Start with beef carpaccio, then dive into freshly made pasta such as duck-filled ravioli and shrimp in a spicy red-curry sauce, or such delights as pizza frutti di mar (topped with fresh local seafood).

    Absolutely agree with the Fodor's Choice

    This was a "Fodor's Choice" in the 2009 Bahamas book. We absolutely agree. We had a great dinner there on March 10, 2009. We spent about $100 (no alcohol). I had ossobucco. My wife had gnocci. We shared a dessert. We went with a party of 10. They cheerfully split the tab for us. We got the best table in the house. It was a gazebo in their courtyard. Food and service were both great. I only spent less for dinner once in Nassau (at the Poop Deck).
