THE TEAM, MADE UP OF MARBLE GROUP FOUNDER AND OWNER

Gary Kyriacou, director of operations and partner Dino Constantinou, chef and partner David Higgs. Since the launch of Marble in 2015, the dynamic duo of chef David Higgs and Gary Kyriacou (not to mention their knack for knowing what this vibrant city craves and their persistent drive to deliver above and beyond expectations) has all but singlehandedly redefined Joburg's dining landscape.

MARBLE "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" says 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.
