Esteemed Pan-African chef and culinary visionary Coco Reinarhz is reopening his celebrated restaurant, Épicure, at its elegant new home in One Rosebank. Marking a powerful return after a pandemic-induced pause and openings in other places, the new Épicure is a reawakening of Pan-African gastronomy in Johannesburg.

“We’ve found a new home for Épicure, and with it, a renewed purpose,” says Chef Coco. “This is not just a restaurant – it’s a place where Africa speaks through food. We all eat together because we are together.” At the heart of Épicure’s revived concept is the deeply African tradition of communal dining, the idea that food is meant to be shared, not divided into individual portions. Rather than following a conventional ‘starter-main-dessert’ format, the menu is structured around small and large plates, with a selection of sharing platters, all designed to be enjoyed together at the table.

Chef Coco’s travels through 41 African countries have deeply shaped the menu, which offers a selection of dishes reflecting the continent’s rich culinary diversity. Guests can expect the signature "News of Africa" menu – a culinary journey spanning the North, East, West and South of the African continent, with a focus on dishes that share “good news” from across the continent. A Central African welcome drink – a homage to Chef Coco’s roots – anchors the experience.

Beyond the food, the restaurant’s design blends African elegance with contemporary style. “This is Africa redefined. No clichés, bright beads and drums, but subtle, Afro-chic nods to a modern continent and civilisation,” says Chef Coco.

    Chef Coco certainly knows his way around the kitchen. His culinary journey through Africa is a work of art. Loved everything about Epicure and will come back again

    I was on a date night with my wife and felt like the waitress was rushing us, after giving us water and our drinks she was quick to demand a food order… My advise is that if couples come there to talk give them some breathing room to do so as the ambiance lends itself to a warm conversation. My second assesment is that the chair I was sitting in was a bit wobbly and kept having to adjust it… the big blue couches are nice to sit on but the sort of floral single chairs don’t suit the aspiration of such a fine dining establishment… But 10 out of 10 for the well considered menu and ambiance with a live DJ as the music was not overbearing… welcome back epicure!

    I was staying at the hotel for the weekend so I had my breakfasts, lunch and dinners at the restaurant. The food and the service were very good up until the last day where a waitress demanded to be tipped more than what I tipped. I always tip at least 10% or more but on that day, the lady who was serving me kept getting my order wrong and I tipped her what I felt she deserved for her service which was poor. But when she saw the tip she demanded more and I did add more because it was not worth it but that’s bad entitlement because first of all a tip is not a must, we only tip because we love the service. But that entitlement she had, has to be addressed
