Gault&Millau's review 2026

This longstanding Japanese restaurant in the city centre has built its reputation over two decades on consistent quality. The minimalist interior, with views of the open kitchen, adds to the restaurant’s appeal, while in summer the experience extends to the street-side terrace. The menu remains faithful to Japanese classics. The friendly staff are adept at guiding guests through the menu, whether they are uncertain about their food choices or wine selection. To begin, tempura prawns arrived at the table, impressing with their firmness and freshness. For the main course, we chose chicken with teriyaki sauce and the shou platter, featuring an assortment of nigiri sushi and sushi rolls with salmon, tuna, sea bass and prawn. Sweet temptations are difficult to resist here, so we compared the mango pudding and the Fuji Yama dessert, made with hazelnut sponge and coffee caramel. The former impressed with its lightness, while the latter offered deeper, richer flavours. Sushi enthusiasts will find both tried-and-tested classics and more indulgent combinations, while those who prefer hot dishes will appreciate the varied selection of meat, fish and noodle dishes. All of this is united by what sets Sushimama apart most clearly: consistency, fresh ingredients, precise preparation and quality that never wavers.
