One and Only Hotel of Cape Town

I recently had the amazing oppertunity of going to the world famous Nobu Restaurant situated at the One and Only hotel, Waterfront in Cape Town.

Here is some back round information before I go into the incredible experience I had there.

The One and Only is owned by Sol Kerzner, a luxury hotel and casino magnate. The hotel is in the hub of the Cape Town waterfront and once inside the walls you feel like you have left the rest of the world behind and only total luxury consumes you. A bit different from the hustle and bustle of the Cape Town CBD only a couple of 100 meters away!!

I got to test the hotel and its facilities out before its launch. So we really did indulge in every fantasy of food and decadence, to experience it all. We stayed in the island hotels suites, over a bridge and the canal. The bathrooms were big enough to have a party inside! Instead we had girlie weekend, myself with one of my close girl friends! We had treatments, facials and massages in the tranquil Spar ... it was ALL available to us!

3 Friends (David Donde and Joel Singer from Origin coffee and Marisa Sarfatti) and I booked for the Famous Nobu Restaurant on Saturday night - owned by Robert De Niro, Meir Tepper, Richard Notar. Already expectations were high having a movie star's name in there!

We started off with Japanese style cocktails and then moved onto Sake - Japanese rice wine, either served warm or cold, we had both. Sake is delicious and really is good with sushi! Mmmm.

We did not know what to order so we asked the manager to recommend us dishes and keep the sushi coming. And he id!!

What an unbelievable manager!! Really excellent, thought he was doing it only for us and he must have given the same attention to a few tables!

One after another the Sashimi ( (my favorite) came out... Each plate individually seasoned to perfection with lemon grass, basil leaves, chilli, sweet jams, asparagus and much much more, none of the soya and wasbi we soo used to (&love)!

Only 1 problem was that by the end of the meal I wanted to burst, because I did not say no and just kept on going, think I became a silent bloated fool ... only lucky that I did not pop! Its not worth the over indulgence - really, even if its that good!

This Restaurant comes highly recommended from a person who loves to eat well!! Outstanding!
