Gourmet Guide Description

Located in the vibrant Oxford Parks precinct, this distinguished addition to the city’s dining scene is brought to life by acclaimed chef Luke Dale Roberts. Known for his innovative approach, he has seamlessly transferred the magic of the Cape Town original to Johannesburg,
offering a refined dining experience with a touch of Asian fusion flair.

Executive chef Tyron Gentry’s expertise in marrying European culinary traditions with Asian flavours is showcased on the á la carte and six-course tasting menus, both of which promise a journey of culinary delight. One fresh start is the line fish sashimi served with pad Thai dressing, togarashi mayo, and nuoc cham. Another standout dish is the beef tartare with a gochujang dressing, truffle mayo, fresh truffle, and brioche toast–an exquisite mix of umami and crunch.

The venison dish is a revelation. Cooked to perfection, the succulent meat is complemented by a velvety beetroot purée that adds a subtle earthiness and a striking hue. Complementing these tastes is a delicate tarragon emulsion, imparting a hint of anise and an aromatic finish, creating a harmonious and visually stunning plate. Desserts are equally impressive. The Espresso Express, with its almond cake and coffee caramel, is pure indulgence, while the miso cheesecake presents an umami-rich twist on the classic dessert, beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the granadilla sorbet.

    The team added lovely touches as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. A more creative vegan dessert menu would be good.

    So sad that our evening was such a flop. Started when we ordered starters to be told there's no oysters or lobster available. I asked for non crumbed calamari, my partner had it crumbed. Both of us noticed it had a slight smell but was gone once mixed into the sauce. We had should have said something because we both had runny tummies from early morning. My main - line fish - arrived overcooked with a huge bloodline covering half of the back of the fish. The manager tried saying it was normal but apologised for it being overcooked. He offered the lobster - after saying there wasn't any earlier. It was nice but when the bill arrived it was double my line fish which wasn't explained. My partner's pork belly was nice. We've been to the Pot Luck club and this was a very poor comparison and experience.

    Shortmarket never dissappoints. The service was outstanding, realising that my wife battles with anything spicy they put sauce on the side without asking. Service and attention to detail were outstanding. The food is the best in Johannesburg right now for sure. Incredible flavour in every dish but the lobster and sashimi are absolutely stand out incredible. Much fun outing was had by all.
