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.

    Delicious food but sadly wouldn’t return.. a lot of hype for a pretty average experience.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Mon 30 Mar 26:
    Dear Tara Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry to hear that the overall experience didn’t meet your expectations. That’s definitely not the impression we aim to leave. We truly appreciate you sharing this, as it helps us improve. If you’re open to it, we’d love to understand more about what felt average so we can do better. Kindly contact me at shibe.mathatho@oneandonlycapetown.com.

    This is a great restaurant with superb food. Special shout out to Nobuhle who served us. Her food recommendations were fabulous. She was so knowledgable and curated a meal for us that we wouldn’t have got to ourselves but was utterly delicious.
