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.

    Fantastic anniversary dinner with Kurt— not only was the food great and the drinks wonderful but his attentive, professional, warm service made the dinner really special. His suggestions of what to order were spot on and we loved absolutely everything and had the perfect amount of food. The spicy tuna and crispy rice was the best I’ve ever had and that in combination with one Omakase gave us a range of absolutely delightful tastes. It was our first night in Cape Town (from Los Angeles) and, dare I say, our experience here was better than at the mothership? Thank you to Kurt and Nobu for a memorable evening.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 09 Apr 25:
    Dear Michelle, Thank you for joining us for dinner; we are honoured to have been a part of such a special celebration. It warms our hearts to know that the evening was such a success, moreover, that Kurt contributed so greatly to it.

Congratulations to you both once again; we cannot wait to welcome you both back again on your next visit for another memorable evening. Until then, take care.
