The Marabi Club
When you combine great food, slick service, and live jazz, your function is bound to be a success. It’s no surprise then that the Marabi Club in Doornfontein makes our list of restaurants. This underground jazz club serves a heavy dose of nostalgia as you enjoy live performances from the comfort of the private dining room. It seats 20 people with a minimum spend, and you can draw the curtains to conceal your party from other patrons.

Marble
Marble Restaurant is the perfect choice for an impressive business lunch or work function. Two private dining rooms (seating up to 12 or 16 people) offer views of the open kitchen in action.
