"The One & Only hotel in CPT has a Nobu, and I couldn't get away with anything less than R3500pp. If you don't believe me, go check out their menu. Bucketlist ticked, I doubt I'd spend that much till inflation has us pay that at Ocean Basket 🤣."
User @_riqkay added:
"Prices are justified if you understand all the ingredients, work and skill that go into each dish."
