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.

    an experience indeed. Probably the best Sashimi, sushi and seabass i will ever eat. Also had the joy of meeting Nobu, getting a surprise desert for a celebration and wonderful friendly service. All amazing. The price is exorbitant. one (non-caviar ) dish was R1950, quite hard to justify that, it was great but the sashimi was better. We had an omakase and then some additional plates and shared everything which was more than enough for 2 people. The ambience was a little odd- they turned down the lights but not the music so quite loud. I imagine that for visitors it is perfect, for locals too pricey for anything more than a once in a lifetime experience and a sashimi and seabass we will never forget.

    We had the most wonderful experience! The new decor is gorgeous, Chef Nobu was so lovely to meet, and our dinner and service impeccable throughout. Highly recommend. Also, the DJ - Claudia Lovisa - was not only gorgeous to look at but played the most perfect music to set the ambience just right, all night! Can't wait to come back.
