The Trumpet on Keyes building in Rosebank, Joburg, boasts high-end design and fashion stores, art galleries and, most interestingly for foodies, restaurants and coffee shops too. Here are three worth noting

1) Marble Restaurant

Top chef David Higgs’ (pictured below) new 220-seater restaurant is a coup for the South African dining scene. Taking up the roof of the building, its glass façade boasts views over the whole of Johannesburg, making for a beyond breathtaking sitting.

Add to this David’s live-fire theatrical cooking experience, and a no-expense spared interior by Irene Kyriacou, and you have a truly unrivalled dining experience. (Read a review of Marble Restaurant.)

2) MESH Club

MESH may be a members’ only club, but fortunately for the masses, its bar is open to the public. Just one floor down from Marble, it shares the amazing views, and the interiors are spot on, with art and design coming together to create a stylish, elegant setting. Ideal for sundowners for friends, or for members, as a spot to catch up on work, network and host swanky business meetings.

3) Milk Bar

Kramerville’s popular Milk Bar has opened up on Keyes too, making for the ideal spot for a quick meal, coffee or drinks. With its signature quirky décor, it’s a fun addition to the building, adding a touch of whimsy to the sleek and sophisticated centre.
