What can only be described as one of Sandton’s most well-known restaurants, the Maximillien is a stalwart of the culinary scene. Floor to ceiling windows allow in soft natural light during the day and create a picturesque view for evening dining. Romantic candlelight dinners set the evening mood.
The deck area is superb for cocktail parties and events, with 180 degrees of skyscrapers and city lights and windows that open right up to give you the feeling of almost being suspended between the surrounding buildings.
Maximillien restaurant, New York Charm in The Heart of Sandton
The décor is reminiscent of the old-school Balthazar restaurant in New York; dark wood panelling, mirrors and red upholstery, as well as black and white checked flooring and intricately pressed ceilings, will make you think that you’ve stepped back in time to the 1920s.
Located in the bustling heart of Sandton, with easy access from Nelson Mandela Square and Sandton City, this is the place to go if you are looking for great food and attentive service.
