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.

    From the moment you walk into NOBU you're in for an unforgettable experience. The one thing that stand out is the consistency in the standard for service , food , and all round experience. If you entertain guests you can be assured at NOBU they will turn your evening into a special occasion.

    My dining companion is a Nobu aficionado having been a regular at the Park Lane establishment since it opened, so I was extremely fortunate to have a knowledgeable (and beautiful) Nobu expert to critique the menu. We were met at the entrance by Adie whom guided us to a booth and led the traditional Nobu welcome. We knew that a new Head Chef had been appointed and we were delighted that Chef Nicolette (Nicky) came to our table to say hello and apologise for the fixtures and fittings, which she says are long overdue for a refurb (we agree). Diane was our server and she suggested slight variations on our choices that both worked and enhanced the experience. We were really delighted by her attention to detail and her knowledge of the menu. Every dish was exceptional, highly rated by my companion that knew each dish from its origins and had only praise for the Cape Town versions. At the end of the meal we were joined once more by Chef Nicky and were pleased to be able to feedback directly on the faultless experience of the meal and staff. Omakase is coming to Cape Town under her expert guidance and we will be back for that experience and to check out her other innovations and plans.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Fri 21 Feb 25:
    Dear Philip, Thank you so much for sharing your delightful experience with us. It's wonderful that Chef Nicky took the time to greet you, and that Diane's suggestions enhanced your experience. We will be sure to pass your kind words on to her -- she will be beaming with pride to hear it! Thank you again for your kind words, and we cannot wait to welcome you both back to see what other exciting innovations Chef Nicky has in store. Until then, take care.
