Step into the world of Nobu with acclaimed global chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s only outpost in southern Africa.

Nobu Cape Town brings classic Japanese cuisine with a Peruvian twist in a sophisticated space which seamlessly blends Japanese wa with the spirit of Ubuntu. Descend the stairs and be welcomed by cinematic views of Table Mountain into the main dining room anchored by handwoven tapestries by local artist, Julia Pepler Swanepoel.

To the left of the staircase, Nobu Bar stretches into an alluring intimate speakeasy-like enclave ideal for pre and post dinner cocktails crafted by our expert mixologists.

    This is a great restaurant with superb food. Special shout out to Nobuhle who served us. Her food recommendations were fabulous. She was so knowledgable and curated a meal for us that we wouldn’t have got to ourselves but was utterly delicious.

    I've dined at Nobu Cape Town many, many times. I dined there again last night. My experience last night, as on all previous occasions, was exceptional. The food was tasty, fresh and well-presented. The service was amazing. The newly renovated space looks fresh, neat and very appealing to the eye. I shall dine there again.

    Dear Aaliyah Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It is with great concern that I learn about your recent experience dining with us. Please accept my deepest apologies, as this falls short of the high standards of service we aim to maintain as Nobu. It saddens me that we were not able to turn around your dining experience with us during your visit. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect and address your experience, at your convenience. Please contact me at Roxanne.Curtis@oneandonlycapetown.com. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an absolute and true Nobu Cape Town experience. Kind regards, Roxanne Curtis, Food & Beverage Director

    Everything was perfect. Outstanding service and food. Tasting menu out of this world wonderful. Our only criticism was The “thumping” beat of the (too loud) music that was not conducive to a relaxing zen atmosphere. Some quiet classical or relaxing music would be so much better for most guests (and your staff!) I think.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Fri 20 Mar 26:
    Dear Catherine Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you found the food and service outstanding, and that the tasting menu made such a memorable impression—“out of this world” is exactly what we strive for. We also truly appreciate your constructive comments regarding the music. Creating the right atmosphere is an important part of the overall experience, and we’re sorry that the volume and style of music detracted from the relaxing, zen ambience you were expecting. Your suggestion has been noted and will be shared with our team as we continuously look to refine every aspect of the guest experience. Thank you again for your valuable insights, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even more perfectly balanced evening. Kind regards, Shibe Mathatho, Assistant Manager, Nobu

    Everything was amazing, just the waiters were a bit in a rush to tend to other customers instead of us, and then there was a mistake with the payment that I had to follow up on later. Otherwise everything else was amazing.

    Dear Raphael Thank you for sharing feedback with us. We love that you enjoyed your experience and lived in the truly Nobu experience overall. We sincerely apologise for the aspects of your visit that were not as successful. We have noted the gaps in services as well as the closure of the bill. We never intended to make your experience feel rushed or incomplete; that is not the standard to uphold at Nobu, and we intend to do better. We look forward to welcoming you again, as you are what makes Nobu special! Kind regards, Shibe Mathatho, Assistant Manager, Nobu
