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.

    We had an exceptional evening at Nobu. We chose the menu option where the waitress curates the meal. Our waitress was Nobuhle, she was such a delight. So friendly and hospitable and the food she selected was outstanding. We cannot fault a single choice of meal. We will be coming back next time we are in Cape Town and will be requesting Nobuhle. A truly superb evening.
