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.

    Great food, atmosphere nice but a bit chubby music. Sky our waiter was friendly and helpful at first but seemed to have attitude when we were paying the bill.

    Nobu is undoubtedly one of my top three restaurants, and I must say the experience was absolutely beautiful. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and the service is attentive without being overwhelming. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, perfectly balanced, and a true reflection of culinary excellence. It’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again when I’m back in Cape Town.

    Nobu Cape Town responded on Mon 05 Jan 26:
    Dear Seloane Thank you for your generous words and proving us with feedback. We are thrilled that you love your time with us as much as we love having you! We love that you enjoyed each and every detail and lived in the truly Nobu experience. We look forward to welcoming you again as you are what makes Nobu special! Kind regards, Shibe Mathatho Assistant Manager, Nobu

    The restaurant looks so much better after the revamp. Food was usual good Nobu fare. The menu appears to have been reduced but most of the Nobu regulars are still there.

    Dear Craig Thank you for your generous feedback and are so thrilled you were able to join us for a night of bliss! It warms me that your visit was such a success and that you are impressed by the new look! Our menu did get a revamp too, but we had to keep the icons.

    The food was ok, not wow for the price. Table location was not nice at all. My wife and I came for our anniversary but were squeezed onto a 2 seater between 2 very busy and noisy tables. We couldn’t even talk to each properly.
