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.

    The Omakase is excellent, just wonderful, compliments for the chef. The only thing to criticize is the volume, the booming music. Why does it have to be like that today? It disturbs conversation, everyone is shouting, and it spoils the enjoyment.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Thu 12 Feb 26:
    Dear Hans Thank for your kind and insightful feedback! It truly warms me that the omakase, which is from the chef's heart was the light of your dining experience! We strive for the highest standard of satisfaction for our guest because you and your experience matter greatly to us and is what makes Nobu Cape Town special! We have noted the volume regarding the music; we apologise sincerely and will review with necessary caution. We absolutely loved having you with us and cannot wait to welcome you back! Kind regards, Shibe Mathatho Assistant Manager, Nobu

    É stato abbastanza imbarazzante: stavo cenando da sola al sushi bar e ad un certo punto un cameriere ha iniziato a versare l’acqua della mia bottiglia al signore che sedeva a fianco a me(ma non era con me). Dopo pochi minuti un altro cameriere gli ha portato il mio conto da pagare… per fortuna ci abbiamo riso su ma sul momento è stato imbarazzante. Il sushi era molto buono ma la tempura non era il massimo(era molto pesante), i ravioli di wagyu decisamente al di sotto delle mie aspettative.

    Dear Giogia Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. It is with great concern that I learn about your recent experience dining with us. Please accept my deepest apologises, as this falls short of the high standards of satisfaction we aim to maintain as Nobu. It never makes me happy to know we have made your experience feel inconsistent, one of our main aims is to ensure that you are thoroughly comfortable and satisfied. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect and address your concerns, at your convenience, please contact me at shibe.mathatho@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, Shibe Mathatho Assistant Manager, Nobu
