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.

    Fabulous dinner on our first night in Capetown, the portions are big so don’t order too many starters, but would definitely recommend. The service was perfect x

    The food was good, the music was very loud and disturbing. The service was not so good. The restaurant can’t guarantee that the food is served to guests at the same time. I felt like I was being pushed to complete my experience within the two hour window for the reservation. However, my first course was substantially delayed and this is not taken into account. I have been in this restaurant several times but this last time was not a very good experience

Please accept my deepest apologises, as this falls short of the high standards of satisfaction we aim to maintain as Nobu.

    A total rip-off. I ordered a glass of bubbly which was only half filled, the tuna tataki was delicious but consisted only of 6 slices of tuna and as a main the springbok, slightly tough. Paid R1.700 and was so hungry afterwards. My friend ordered sashimi (OK) and the squid (chewy). Not worth to eat there.
