Chef's cullinary wizardry puts Moloko hotels on the map
More than just somewhere to sleep, the much-lauded Moloko Strathavon Hotel in upmarket and swanky Sandton, is becoming sought-after for more than its superlative brand of premium accommodation and contemporary style, thanks to the considerable cullinary talents of Head Chef Mauricio Geral located at the hotel - the Ambassador.
Renowned for its effortless good taste, the hotel is now on the map for taste of a different kind - fantastic, mouth watering cuisine served with a dash of flair and no small amount of "wow" factor!
Geral's range of sumptuous and innovative menu items has helped to establish one of the City of Gold's most sought-after business, leisure and event destination, and has made the Moloko Strathavon's superb fine-dining restaurant 'the Ambassador', open to non-residents on a reservation only basis, a Mecca for discerning food-lovers.
