This Christmas Day, the Balalaika Sandton transforms into a festive destination offering two extraordinary Christmas experiences, each designed to capture the magic, comfort, and indulgence of the season. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant, chef-driven Christmas lunch or seeking a lively, family-friendly celebration, the Balalaika invites you to choose your perfect festive experience.
Christmas @ The Bull Run
At The Bull Run, Christmas unfolds with refined warmth and world-class flavours. Guests are welcomed to a beautifully curated Harvest Table! Artisanal breads, whipped feta, hummus, charcuterie, seasonal fruits, and salads set the tone for the courses to follow.
The plated menu offers a choice of sophisticated starters such as smoked duck salad, lobster & prawn bisque, and the festive Christmas caprese. Taste the harmony between texture and flavour!
For mains, indulge in a Whole Prime Rib Roast Slice, Lemon Herb Line Fish, Lemon Thyme Chicken Supreme, or Orzo Puttanesca. There’s a Christmas memory for every palate!
The desserts are equally spectacular. Chocolate & Amarula mousse, Bull Run rainbow cheesecake, and warm apple crumble offer a sweet conclusion to an unforgettable meal. A La Carte Classics are also available as an add-on to the Harvest Table experience. View the menu here!
The Grinchmas Feast
In contrast, yet equally delightful, The Conservatory hosts the spectacular Grinchmas Feast, a buffet-style Christmas carvery. It's all about festive colour, family fun, and abundant flavour.
Enjoy everything from fresh artisanal breads and tomato soup to cured seafood platters. Pair these with a creative selection of salads: roasted pumpkin and grains, prawn and avocado, or roasted beetroot with feta.
The hot selection features butter chicken, lamb stew, stuffed line fish, and all the festive sides. The carvery celebrates tradition with honey-glazed gammon and turkey with cranberry jus.
Dessert is a wonderland of gingerbread houses, peppermint crisp cake, trifle, pavlova snowmen, choux wreaths, and Christmas pudding. Two venues. Two distinct experiences. One iconic destination. This is where to gather for a Christmas Day to remember! Take a look at the full menu here.
