Higgs states that opening Marble was the most difficult experience of his life as trying to control the live fire and temperatures were a problem. But they were able to tame the beast and get the fire under control to create the award-winning restaurant that they have today. What’s David Higgs’ secret to award-winning restaurants? Although the menu and experience will be different, visitors will know that they’re in a Marble restaurant. Higgs’ whole family is Greek and he wants to bring in that Mediterranean feel to the new Cape Town restaurant. However, Marble aims for consistency at a premium level with their food and service. The food is simple as their menu can’t be at a fine dining level due to the sheer number of customers. It fosters a sense of community that’s different to other restaurants. The fire attracts people and brings them together to chat and take photos. They cook on a live fire with wood and charcoal. Irene creates incredible canvases to work on and all of their restaurants – Zioux and Marble – have received style awards for their aesthetic. Although the menu and look can’t be the same, the Marble blueprint will be there. The cocktail bar is the first touchpoint for Marble’s patrons as mixology has become an important part of the dining experience due to its experimental nature. Their incredible team understands the role that they play in this sensory experience. Everything is based around great relationships and excellent service. Will it be the same vibe as Marble Joburg?ĭavid Higgs says that Marble is about an experience. We’re looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Cape Town’s own Marble. Marble has become an institution in Joburg, serving about 300-400 people a day. It’ll be separate from the other restaurants at the Waterfront to create its own special spot. Marble Cape Town is going to be special with full views of the waterfront and Table Mountain. Building will begin in June/July with the expected open date to be in November 2023. They’ve signed the lease to set up Marble at the Waterfront. NovemChef and restaurateur David Higgs teased at the Eat Out Woolworths Awards that Marble is coming to Cape Town next year.
