Nobu started its journey as one of the unrivaled addresses of Japanese Peruvian cuisine in 1994, founded as a business partnership between Chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, Meir Teper, and Drew Nieporent.  Originating in Tribeca, New York as the flagship restaurant, Nobu Restaurants is now an international brand and an empire that spans across five continents, with locations in USA, Europe, South America, Middle East, Asia and Africa. Now, Nobu's unique fusion cuisine meets Istanbul, the city that brings Asia and Europe together. A visual feast as much as a culinary delicacy, Nobu Restaurants continue to receive unprecedented praise and rave reviews from respected guides and publications of the gastronomy world.
