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.

    As a regular customer of Nobu NYC - this location needs to step it up. Bar didn’t get drinks right all night. Service was sketchy and part of order was forgotten.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 22 Jul 26:
    Dear Kathleen Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're disappointed to hear that your visit did not meet the standards you've come to expect from Nobu, particularly as a regular guest of Nobu. We regret that your drinks were not prepared correctly, parts of your order were missed, and that the level of service fell short throughout the evening. Please accept our sincere apologies for these shortcomings. Your comments have been shared with our restaurant leadership team for review, as experiences like yours are not reflective of the exceptional service we strive to deliver. Please contact me via email at shibe.mathatho@oneandonlycapetown.com We value your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a dining experience that better reflects the Nobu standard. Warm regards, Shibe Mathatho, General Manager
