Nobu is one of the most popular restaurants in South Africa. The only Nobu in Africa. Embark on an unforgettable journey of gourmet excellence, fresh creations, and masterful Japanese-Peruvian cuisine with Nobu Cape Town. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it a go-to restaurant.
If you are dining at Nobu for the first time, the chef recommends trying three or more of the menu’s “Eight Highlights.” The best way to enjoy this experience is to start with 2 or 3 cold dishes and then move on to 2 or 3 hot ones. Finally, end with some sushi and dessert. All these shared family styles.
Some recommendations include Yellowtail with Jalapeno, Tuna Sashimi Salad, Rock Shrimp Tempura With creamy, spicy Sauce, and Black Cod With Den Miso. All the menu items are pocket-friendly and prepared from fresh ingredients.
