The story
Matsu Izakaya brings the spirit of a Japanese izakaya to Palamós, reimagined with a contemporary touch. Located on Carrer de l'Indústria, the kitchen focuses on platillos – small, shareable dishes – paired with an evolving selection of sakes, wines, and cocktails. The setting is intimate, with counter dining that puts you close to the action, and the service is relaxed yet precise.
The restaurant's commitment to quality and technique has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a fitting recognition for a place that balances tradition with a modern Catalan sensibility. Whether you stop in for lunch Thursdays through Saturdays or dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays, the atmosphere is welcoming, the flavors bright and clean. With air conditioning for warm days and a thoughtful drinks list, Matsu Izakaya is a destination for those seeking Japanese Contemporary cuisine on the Costa Brava.
