What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sakura is praised for its excellent Japanese cuisine, particularly its sushi and sashimi, and its sophisticated ambiance enhanced by river views and captivating decor. While many find the food sublime and the experience unique, some note that the menu is extensive and prices are on the higher side. The live performances add an extra layer of entertainment, making it a popular choice for both special occasions and casual dining.
"Always a pleasure to dine at Sakura! Very friendly staff, sublime food and relaxed atmosphere. The prices are in the higher range but they do reflect the quality and service.
Recommended both for business dinners and enjoying a meal with friends."

"Very nice and pretty place.
Some stuff is pricier some not. They have meals from 10/20/30/50+ euros.
Miso soup was pleasent and warm.
Crab Maki was very good. Can taste the crab plus the other ingredients.
Singaporean black prawn 🦐 was one of the best meals I have tried in these types of restaurants. The taste was amazing, extremely well seasoned, texture was great and perfectly cooked. It is spicy as well. 6/5.
Last time I was there got deep fried baby squid with chilly mayo. Was really good as well!
For Drinks I got a BoraBora tea which was reallyy great.
Best of recommendations!"
