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.

    Skip the new lunch service, it's basically an abbreviated version of dinner, with less staff and terrible service. It took 20mins to get the bill and there was hardly anyone there. Four different people took my order, because their one waitress was distracted or completely mentally checked out, only waiting 3 tables at a time.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Fri 24 Apr 26:
    Dear Ashley Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience with the new lunch service did not meet expectations. The delays in receiving your bill and the lack of attentive, consistent service are certainly not the standard we aim to provide. Your comments regarding staffing and coordination during your visit are noted and will be taken seriously. We understand how important efficient and attentive service is, even during quieter periods, and regret that this was not your experience. Please contact me via email at Shibe.mathatho@oneandonlycapetown.com so that I can personally address your concerns as well as ensure that your next visit is a true and absolute Nobu experience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future. Warm regards, Shibe Mathatho, General Manager, Nobu Cape Town

    Went there tonight. Read the reviews of course but I never trust it. Had a wonderful experience, Kurt was attentive, not pushy and guided us in the right direction. Will definitely go again x

    Dear Elle Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that your visit lived up to expectations, even after reading mixed reviews. Kurt’s attentive yet unobtrusive service clearly made a positive impression, and it’s always reassuring when staff provide thoughtful guidance. I’m pleased you had such an enjoyable evening and look forward to hearing about your next visit. Warm regards, Shibe Mathatho, General Manager, Nobu Cape Town
