Gourmet Guide Description

The Japanese welcome ‘irasshaimase’ resonates in the triple volume
space when chanted loudly on your arrival at Nobu, in the One&Only
Cape Town. Chef Prajal Rana may be a newcomer to South Africa,
but not to the Nobu kitchen, having notched up nearly a decade with
them. The international brand is synonymous with creativity, precision,
attention to detail and excellent quality.

Immerse yourself in the main, multi-course or omakase menu, or take
a seat at the sushi bar. Sushi at Nobu is the real deal, an authentic
representation of a craft that requires many years to perfect. The
ultimate sushi – eel with avocado and tempura crumb on the outside –
will be topped with spicy prawn and chilli threads. The salad of baby
spinach with Parmesan, fried leek and dried miso with a ponzu and
truffle oil dressing is a reminder that fresh ingredients play a vital role
in the Nobu kitchen.

As the tempting tempura kingklip with melon and coriander is served,
sake will enter the equation. Not just any sake, the selection is as notable
as the wine spectrum. The spicy beef, seared with Peruvian ancho chilli,
can take its rightful place on the stage before one of the lip-smacking
desserts, like the Japanese cheesecake, seals the sweet deal.

Prajal prides himself on his unique culinary style, a union of the creative
craft and precise skill of a Nobu master. No surprise that his preference
is for Japanese cuisine, but Prajal states that other Asian countries and
their rich cultures such as Taiwan and Singapore, have influenced his
culinary journey. His environment, from nature to people, inspires him.

    We had a lovely mel and our waitress was amazing, thank you. The food however was a little disappointing. The black cod miso (one of the signature dishes) the skin of the fish was burnt and tasted like charcoal and the fish was not fresh. I think they using the salted cod? Overall good but not great

    NOBU is what you would expect a world class restaurant in a luxury hotel. Everything was great especially the service we had the tasting menu which was delicious. It is expensive for Cape Town

    Every bite was deliciously satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the Sliders. Thexrempura vegetables were crispy and flavored to perfection.

    We ordered small bites - sushi & salads & our meal was lovely. Diane took excellent care of us. No view as Nobu‘s is on a lower floor. Our first impression of one & only is it could do with a bit of a facelift. Also coming up the lift from garage was a bit grubby- swizzle stick lying on the floor, nut shells on a lobby table etc. For 5* hotel I was expecting a bit more polish.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 15 Jan 25:
    Dear Tania, Thank you for joining us for dinner, and sharing your feedback with us. We are delighted you enjoyed your meal and that Diane provided excellent care during your visit.
