Surrounded by an impressive array of carefully restored buildings on a delightful stretch of Main Street is where you will find Marc’s. The old house remains much the same from the outside, but the interior has been opened up to create a spacious restaurant with a French Provencal country feel. Owner of Marc’s Mediterranean Cuisine and Garden, Marc Friederich, an experienced restaurateur and award-winning sommelier, subscribes to the Mediterranean habit of expressing hospitality through food.

The restaurant leads out to a back patio area and a charming enclosed courtyard garden with wonderful mountain views.

Surrounding flower beds have been planted with lavender, olive trees and herbs to create a glorious setting for a leisurely lunch. My Lebanese born wife and I came to stay in South Africa in 1995 and the menu clearly reflects our passion for Mediterranean cuisine. The menu succinctly states “It is with food that the Lebanese – and most of the Mediterranean countries – express hospitality.

At Marc’s, we invite you to share this love of cooking, eating and hospitality with us. The Hors d ‘Oeuvre, known as “mezze” forms a large part of the Mediterranean way of life.” We have carefully selected some of the best known and most popular mezze including Kafta – meatballs made from a mix of lamb and beef mince with spices, Grilled mixed peppers marinated in balsamic vinegar and oil, and crisp golden Spinach and Feta pies.
