Our Story

“Marble is a celebration of quintessential South African fare. It embodies South Africans’ love of cooking with fire, a quality that makes our food culture different from the rest of the world”

David Higgs

About Marble

We have long been fascinated by what makes South African cuisine unique, and we believe it’s down to being meat and flame enthusiasts. It is the timeworn ritual of cooking on wood fires and gathering with friends, the shared experience in the preparation. However, it is not just meat which we celebrate in this way, we boast an array of fresh ingredients all cooked on our perfectly prepared coals, including fish, poultry, vegetables and breads.

Set at the rooftop of the Keyes Art Mile, the vibrant art and culinary hub of Rosebank and greater Sandton, Marble Restaurant boasts a grand wood-fired grill imported from Grill Works in Michigan as the restaurant’s focal point. The theatrical cuisine concept combines the international open-fire trend with classic South African flair and flavours.

Art For the Eye and the Soul

One of the integral guiding philosophies at Marble Hospitality is that true hospitality is an all-encompassing experience, beginning with when you walk through the door. It was only natural that interior design was key from the very conception of Marble Restaurant, and this has cemented Marble’s reputation as one of the best restaurants in Johannesburg. Since we are located in the Keyes Art Mile, it made perfect sense to collaborate with local artists and incorporate art in the interior installations. At Marble, art is expressed in every design element.

The four lead artists we worked with are:
