Zenirō
★ 4.6 · 180 reviews Nice Opened 2026
Japanese technique meets Provençal produce, steps from Place Garibaldi
Zenirō opened in January 2026 on boulevard Risso, a few steps from Place Garibaldi. The idea: apply the rigor of Japanese cooking to Provençal ingredients rather than ship in a ready-made Japanese menu. Chef Ricardo Pérez runs the kitchen, having trained at Nobu London Shoreditch and Tapasake at One&Only Portonovi.
The space runs across three levels: a ground-floor bar with open kitchen, an upstairs dining room with a private lounge and wine cellar, and a rooftop that opened a few months later. Doors open evenings only, 6 to 11:30pm, and it's quickly become one of the season's most discussed openings in a city that hadn't had a serious Japanese dining scene before.

One of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in France, and indeed in 2026 overall, was at this exceptional restaurant. The menu was a remarkable fusion of diverse flavors and culinary traditions, showcasing the chef’s creativity and expertise. I chose the omakase option, and each course was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted and bursting with taste. Among the highlights was the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu nigiri, which was perfectly balanced with its accompaniments, and the delightful strawberry dessert, which provided a refreshing and sweet conclusion to the meal. However, what truly set this dining experience apart was the impeccable attention to detail and the warm hospitality of the white-attired service staff. They consistently delivered each dish with genuine smiles and a caring demeanor, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal. Their dedication to ensuring a flawless dining experience was evident in every interaction. I am already planning my return to Nice, solely for the opportunity to dine here again. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure.
