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 new renovation is amazing. We sat close to the entrance and the continued loud shouting announcing guest arrival disturbed our dinner conversations.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Wed 29 Jul 26:
    Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our recent renovation and truly appreciate your kind words. We are, however, sorry to learn that the enthusiastic "Irasshaimase" welcome at the entrance interrupted your dinner conversations. We completely understand how important a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere is to an enjoyable dining experience. The "Irasshaimase" greeting is a longstanding Japanese tradition at Nobu, intended to warmly welcome and acknowledge every guest as they arrive. While it is never our intention to disturb those already dining, we appreciate your perspective and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Your comments have been shared with our team as we continually look for ways to enhance the guest experience while remaining true to the traditions that define Nobu. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon for a more seamless and memorable dining experience. Warm regards, Shibe Mathatho General Manager, Nobu
