Matagi brings Tokyo after dark vibes to Dubai, with a sleek, intimate setting that serves up some of the best Japanese food in the city. True to izakaya style, the menu is all about perfectly composed small plates, each designed to be shared and savoured together. Which sounds easier said than done, because everything is so good, you’ll want to devour it all yourself… Start with melt-in-the-mouth sashimi and maki rolls before moving on to robata-grilled specialties, the black cod of dreams, and wagyu gyozas that will have you dreaming of dumplings long after your visit. All washed down with cocktails that arrive like liquid art. What more could you possibly ask for?<\/p>\n
