“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.

Situated in Keyes Art Mile, the growing art and food hub of Rosebank, Marble Restaurant boasts a grand wood-fired grill imported from Grill Works in Michigan as the focal point of the restaurant. The concept combines the open-fire trend, seen internationally, with an added pinch of true South African flair.
We have long been fascinated by what makes South African cuisine unique, and we believe its 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.

Gourmet Guide Description

Marble offers a sleek, modern setting with stunning, expansive views of Johannesburg’s cityscape, day or night, adding a visual treat to the culinary experience. Chef David Higgs has garnered a huge following, with a core of regulars who give this restaurant loud and
worthy acclaim.

The space is sophisticated yet warm, with a unique live-fire grill as its centrepiece, setting the tone for a vibrant yet intimate dining experience. Celebrated for its commitment to cooking with fire, Marble pays homage to South Africa’s love for braai culture. The menu features a diverse range of dishes beyond steak, including seafood, poultry, and captivating vegetable options cooked over coals. The rib-eye steak at Marble is a standout, offering a rich and flavourful experience. Special care is taken to cook it to perfection with its deep flavours enhanced by the wood-fire grill method for which Marble has become renowned.

coordinated by professional waitrons.

    The ambience and food are fantastic. The service was mediocre. Would advise to scrutinize your bill because we had extra drinks and water bottles added to the final bill.

    Disappointed is an understatement as to how I felt while visiting Marble. While aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching The service and treatment from staff were beyond sad and ridiculous. We were made to feel low rate, as if we had no business dining at this establishment. There was zero friendliness or politeness. No one was helpful, or attentive. We were never asked if we needed any further requests or if we were enjoying our meal. The food was beyond low rate. I have dined in many high-end establishments And by far Marble sits at the bottom. I would rather recommend a generic steak from Spur ! Do better! And make people feel welcome. Especially when it is a special occasion!
