“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.

Dining at Marble is more than just about the food – it’s a richly layered experience that resonates with those wanting a business lunch, romantic date, or simply good food. Guests can expect top-notch service from pre-dinner cocktails to departure, with attention to detail
coordinated by professional waitrons.

    Marble Restaurant offers excellent service and a fantastic atmosphere, but the food was a significant disappointment. While the ambiance and attentive staff set high expectations, the meals did not deliver on flavor. The chicken was completely tasteless, and my friend's sirloin steak was equally bland and lacked seasoning. Given the premium pricing of this establishment, the poor quality of the food left us incredibly upset and unsatisfied. The ride home was very quiet due to the disappointment.

    Very noisy and dark ambience. Main course was very good but appetizers and dessert were a little disappointing. Rush service. Not value for money.

    Thank you very much, Team Marble, for an amazing experience. My partner and I were given a beautiful, secluded seat directly in front of the serving and food-preparation station. Watching the team prepare the meals, coordinate orders and send dishes out was fascinating and gave us a wonderful glimpse into the precision behind the dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was exceptional from the hostesses and floor managers to our waiters. Everyone was warm, professional and genuinely attentive. One moment that particularly stood out was being told by the team that they were happy to have us as guests. It was a simple gesture, but it made the evening feel personal and sincere. And then there was the steak wow! It was cooked to perfection, exactly as requested: medium to well-done, beautifully seasoned and full of flavour. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the evening. I also really appreciated the restaurant's interior design. The carefully controlled lighting and semi-permeable, dimmed glass create a sophisticated sense of intimacy while still allowing you to remain connected to the activity beyond. The furniture, textures and overall spatial design are beautifully considered. My only observation would be regarding the music volume. Given the relaxed and sophisticated ambience created by the lighting, furniture and materials, I found the music slightly too stimulating at times. Perhaps this is intentional, as Marble seems to sit somewhere between fine dining and a more energetic contemporary dining experience. Nevertheless, slightly reducing the volume could, in my opinion, enhance the restaurant's already beautiful atmosphere. Overall, our date went exceptionally well. The food, service, atmosphere and attention to detail made for a memorable evening, and we genuinely enjoyed the experience. Thank you, Team Marble. I will definitely be coming back!
