Modern and elegant dining, in a laid back environment. Focused on food that intrigues and excites with a wine offering to match!

Gourmet Guide™ Description

In trendy Parkhurst, Embarc has earned a notable reputation as one of Jozi’s premier dining destinations. Stylish, minimalistic décor with neutral tones set the stage for an exceptional experience that seamlessly blends elegance with comfort.

At the heart of its allure is a meticulously curated menu, a testament to chef and owner Darren O’Donovan’s dedication to quality and innovation. It’s unique – every dish can be enjoyed as either a starter or a main, encouraging diners to explore a wide array of flavours and fostering a convivial atmosphere for sharing. The menu rotates seasonally, ensuring both novelty and familiarity, with beloved classics like the kataifi prawns and the white chocolate crème with lavender ice cream and honeycomb remaining perennial favourites.

An extensive wine list is a connoisseur’s dream, featuring a curated selection of local and international labels that perfectly complement the fare. Whether you’re savouring a constant drawcard or exploring the latest seasonal offerings, you’re guaranteed an experience that is both memorable and satisfying.
