Start at the hotel's own restaurant, Maximillien, for bistro fare with views over Sandton City, plus the on-site Cafe and Bar for lighter bites. Right on Nelson Mandela Square, you can walk to Trumps Grillhouse and Butchery, tashas Nelson Mandela Square, and San Deck, Bar & Restaurant. Sandton City Shopping Centre, just next door, has many more dining options. For a local food experience, consider the Taste of Africa Food tasting tour, which explores the city's flavors. All these spots are within easy walking distance of the hotel.
