Nikkei Japanese Peruvian by PAN Collection
Nikkei sits on Bree Street in Cape Town, blending Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients. The menu includes dishes like shrimp crudo with ancho chili oil, sesame tuna with guacamole, and lime-jalapeño ponzu. Sushi is a focus, alongside cocktails that feature both sake and pisco.
The space is designed to reflect the fusion, with tropical plants and chandeliers shaped like chakanas, an Andean symbol. The restaurant takes bookings for groups and offers a private balcony for functions. Families are welcome, and vegan options are available.
Nikkei is part of the PAN Collection, a group known for its approach to fusion cuisine. The restaurant opened in 2024 and quickly gained attention for its blend of precision and flair. You can walk in or book ahead, and the kitchen serves through the day and evening.
