Mediterranean Culinary Marvel: Ethos Restaurant in Rosebank, Johannesburg

Once upon a time, the Mediterranean shores decided they were just too irresistible to keep their charm under wraps. I mean, who wouldn’t want to flaunt cozy vibes, ancient tales, and a timeless ambiance? It’s like they’ve been practicing the art of seduction for centuries.

Enter Ethos, the restaurant that boldly claims to have cracked the code to Mediterranean philosophy, conveniently located in the bustling heart of Rosebank, Johannesburg. Apparently, Mediterranean cuisine is not just about eating; it’s a profound spiritual experience, a love letter to the universe. Moses, the alleged culinary virtuoso behind this revelation, supposedly hails from Botshabelo, a place you’ve probably never heard of but should nod appreciatively anyway.

According to the saga, Moses mastered the culinary arts at the Olive Chef School, honed his skills in mysterious local and international kitchens, and emerged as South Africa’s culinary golden child since 2021. Rumor has it he’s on the cusp of receiving a world-ranking in November 2023, a development we’re told is as earth-shattering as discovering a new spice.

Now, let’s talk interiors. Meet Giorgio Tatsakis, the creative genius allegedly responsible for Ethos’ aesthetic spectacle. Before the era of Covid, he and his dad gallivanted across the globe, soaking up inspiration from Greece, Italy, Dubai, and the UK. Giorgio then supposedly sprinkled some design magic, including his favorite feature – ceiling baffles made of a material imported from France. Fancy, right? And let’s not forget the rich-in-texture Arabescato marble from Italy. Because, apparently, a touch of marble makes everything classier.

Diners, brace yourselves for the allegedly delicious dishes served in a setting that screams luxury and drama. Picture sweeping arches, grand columns, impressive Italian marble, and a color palette so neutral it’s practically meditating. Brass accents, because why not?

For those wondering where this epicurean paradise is located, it’s nestled in Oxford Parks, at the thrilling intersection of Eastwood and Parks Boulevard. And in case you were planning a surprise visit, they’re open every day from noon to 11 pm, even on public holidays. Because who needs a break when you’re busy redefining culinary enlightenment?
