ABOUT EMBARC

Located on the corner of 4th avenue and 13th street in Parkhurst. Opened on the 17th of November 2020 by Darren O’Donovan and Lisa de Beer with a small team of 11 staff. Early into 2023, Lisa left for an opportunity abroad, leaving Darren with full autonomy of the restaurant.
This quaint street side eatery was all from a dream and has in turn become a Parkhurst favourite for many.
Winning South Africa’s best new restaurant through the Luxe Hosco awards for 2021, Best Bistro for 2022, Star wine list award 2022, and featured in Discovery Top 50 which runs in conjunction of Worlds 50 Best Restaurants.
