When it comes to dining, the One&Only Cape Town has two of the best options in the whole of the city. The Michelin-starred Master Chef Nobuyuki 'Nobu' Matsuhisa elected this to be the first, and it remains the only, outpost of his lauded Nobu restaurant concern. In a suavely conceived dining area that seats over 100 diners, guest can enjoy freshly prepared sushi at counter, or sit beneath the warm origami sculptured lighting and devour traditional Japanese cuisine that is livened up with a splash of Peruvian pizazz.
