If your idea of a good day includes melted cheese, creamy carbs, and warm, satisfying bites, then the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton is basically your new happy place.
For a limited time this April and May, they’re serving up two ultra-comforting classics that hit the spot in all the right ways—no fancy fork work required.
The Creamiest Mac & Cheese – R95
Let’s talk gooey. This mac and cheese is everything you want it to be: warm, creamy, and baked to bubbly perfection. Whether you’re fighting off a chill or just in need of a hug in food form, this bowl of cheesy goodness is here for you. And at R95, it’s a whole lot of comfort for a small price tag.
Baked Potato with Mince & Cheese – R85
This isn’t your average spud. We’re talking a perfectly baked potato, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, topped with savoury mince and melty cheese. It’s hearty, satisfying, and feels like a home-cooked meal—without the cooking part. For R85, it’s a comfort combo that’ll leave you full and happy.
These two cheesy showstoppers are available via room service, Lords Bar, and the Terrace, making them ideal for a solo lunch, a casual bite, or a midweek mood-booster. And since they’re only around for April and May 2025, now’s the time to give in to your cravings.
