Embark on an opulent culinary journey designed for discerning tastes with The Maslow Sandton’s opulent five-course menu, hosted on the last Friday of the month from August to October 2025. This lavish, multi-plate celebration of flavour makes for the perfect couple’s date night. Here’s what you need to know.
A Friday Fivefold Indulgence
Swap the stress of Friday traffic for a beautifully curated evening where time slows down, wine flows, and each course is a celebration. This luxurious five-course start to your weekend is wrapped in splendour, flavour, and effortless style. Each bite has been curated with intention by Executive Sous Chef Thokozane Shongwe and his talented team.
The inspiration behind the Friday Fivefold Indulgence menu stems from a desire to offer busy corporate professionals a moment to pause and reconnect after a demanding week.
Designed with elegance and comfort in mind, the menu brings together refined flavours and seasonal ingredients in a relaxed, upmarket bistro setting. It’s a culinary invitation to slow down and turn Friday evenings into a cherished ritual of good food, great company, and a chance to celebrate with sophistication. The dress code is Smart Elegant.
What’s on the menu
The Friday Fivefold Indulgence experience begins with an amuse bouche of prawn arancini with marinara aioli, followed by a choice of two starters: creamy mussel hot pot with salsa verde and toasted ciabatta; or beef steak tartare dressed with capers, gherkins, red onion, truffle aioli, egg yolk and a crispy crouton.
After a light lemon sorbet with grilled pineapple and rum salsa as apalate cleanser, it’s on to the main course. Choose between surf & turf (250g beef fillet, tiger prawns, potato pavé, carrot purée, and garlic jus), chicken supreme (tomato cumin orzo, confit heirloom tomatoes, pickled red onion), salmon teriyaki (with stir-fried bok choy, edamame beans and mashed potato), or cauliflower steak with white bean purée, pickled vegetables and chimichurri).
End the meal off with one of these three decadent options: traditional malva pudding served warm with rooibos infused custard; baked milk tart – a South African classic with a delicate milk custard filling infused with cinnamon, set in a crisp short crust pastry; and for the savoury palate, the local cheese selection is an assortment of locally sourced artisanal cheeses, served with preserves, crackers, and seasonal accompaniments.
