21 Aug 2024
 In the heart of Johannesburg, where the rhythm of jazz mingles with the city's flavours, Steyn Entertainment is orchestrating a culinary renaissance. The company, renowned for its cultural festivals and the iconic Marabi Club, has welcomed chef Freddie Dias to the fold as executive chef. Dias, a maestro in the kitchen, brings a wealth of experience honed under the tutelage of Luke Dale Roberts at Cape Town’s Pot Luck Club and refined at Basalt and Séjour.

Marabi Club, a jewel in Johannesburg’s crown, has recently transformed, emerging with a menu that sings with Dias’s new creations. Dias’s vision is not just adding his touch to Marabi Club but also to the Thorn restaurant at Hallmark House Hotel, where epic Sunday brunches await on the 15th-floor rooftop, and to the VIP sections of Rocking the Daisies and In The City events.

This is a story of full-circle journeys and new beginnings, of school friends reunited with a shared vision to elevate the gastronomic experience. Dias, alongside Dale De Ruig and Sicelo Mayiyane, is setting the stage for a fusion of food and music to captivate the senses. It’s about creating a space where the culinary arts are as celebrated as the melodies that fill the air, where each bite tells a story, and every dish is a note in Johannesburg’s unfolding story.

At Marabi Club, nestled within Hallmark House, guests can indulge in the panoramic views from the rooftop offering a breathtaking view to accompany the food.

The Marabi Club at Hallmark House is where the past and future dance to the beat of the present, and invites you to be part of this exciting new chapter.
