In Sandton, where business meetings have a habit of becoming long lunches and after-work drinks occasionally stretch well beyond office hours, the restaurant matters almost as much as the hotel itself. The Maslow Sandton is adding a fresh reason to pull up a chair with the introduction of a new premium sushi menu at Lacuna Bistro.
Located at the corner of Grayston Drive and Rivonia Road, Lacuna Bistro has established itself as a versatile Sandton dining destination. It is polished enough for hosting clients, relaxed enough for dinner with friends and conveniently positioned for hotel guests who would rather enjoy a proper meal than surrender to room service.
The new sushi selection expands that appeal, introducing a contemporary menu built around fresh ingredients, careful preparation and balanced flavours.
Diners can expect familiar Japanese favourites alongside more modern interpretations, including nigiri and maki prepared with an emphasis on clean flavours and elegant presentation. The approach appears refreshingly restrained: good sushi does not require half the condiment cupboard, a blowtorch and an architectural degree to make an impression.




“The addition of sushi felt like a natural next step for us"
Mark Kneubuhler, General Manager of The Maslow Sandton
“The addition of sushi felt like a natural next step for us,” says Mark Kneubuhler, General Manager of The Maslow Sandton. “More and more, guests are looking for variety while still expecting exceptional quality. We’ve created a menu that reflects that, while staying true to the warm, welcoming experience Lacuna Bistro is known for.”
The menu was officially introduced in July 2026 and forms part of The Maslow’s evolving food and beverage offering. It also reflects the changing expectations of business-hotel dining. Today’s guests want convenience, certainly, but they also expect atmosphere, considered food and somewhere they would willingly choose to eat—even if they were not staying upstairs.
That is where Lacuna Bistro makes sense. Its contemporary interiors, attentive service and easy-going atmosphere create a space suited to everything from a quick midday meeting to an unhurried evening spent sharing sushi and conversation.
Sushi is hardly a novelty in Joburg, where the cuisine has become a firm local favourite. The opportunity for Lacuna Bistro lies in bringing together quality sushi, genuine hospitality and the convenience of one of Sandton’s best-positioned hotels.
For locals, it offers another dining option in the heart of the business district. For travellers, it is a reminder that a hotel restaurant need not simply be the easiest choice—it can also be a thoroughly enjoyable one.
Make an occasion of it by ordering a selection of nigiri and maki for the table, rather than retreating behind an individual plate. Lacuna Bistro’s relaxed setting lends itself to sharing, conversation and staying for one more round—preferably once the laptops have been packed away.
