Japanese street food meets refined dining!
Introducing Yatai Ramenbar - Where the vibrant essence of Japanese street food meets refined dining, blending simplicity and complexity in perfect harmony.
Located below Nikkei on Cape Town’s trendy Bree Street, Yatai Ramenbar takes inspiration from traditional Japanese food stalls known as Yatais while offering a sophisticated and modern dining experience. Behind the menu are renowned chefs Rikku O'Donnchu and Warwick King, previously of Gate and Exhibit A, who have joined forces again to bring a fine dining ramen concept to life with a theatrical twist.
Yatai, which translates to 'street vendor' in Japanese, offers dishes crafted with high-quality ingredients, where every element is elevated to new heights. From the 72-hour Tonkatsu broth bursting with umami, to shio broth enriched with aged shoyu, each recipe embraces authenticity while offering a modern touch. The ramen noodles are traditionally stretched using an authentic noodle stretcher from Japan, adding to the artisanal quality of each bowl. The style of ramen broth on offer will be a modern take on “Kotteri” which means creamy and rich. The menu doesn’t stop at ramen; it also boasts a luxurious wagyu katsu sando, a selection of dumplings, robata-grilled dishes, seafood and specialty desserts—all perfectly paired with Japanese-inspired cocktails, sake and Japanese whisky.
Yatai - Ramenbar’s minimalist yet inviting interior design, curated by the talented team at SQ Design, offers the perfect atmosphere for guests to enjoy their culinary journey.
