At Lords Bar at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, lunchtime is getting a fresh upgrade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

With a focus on bright flavours, quality ingredients and satisfying comfort, the restaurant\u2019s latest specials bring together two dishes that are perfect for a relaxed meal in the heart of Sandton.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Available through March and April, these specials offer guests a choice between a vibrant pasta dish and a lighter garden-inspired wrap, each designed to deliver flavour without overcomplicating the plate.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta: A Zesty Classic<\/h3>\n

For those craving something warm and satisfying, the Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta is a standout choice. This dish features grilled herb-marinated chicken served with fettuccine, all coated in a zesty lemon-cream sauce. The bright citrus notes cut through the richness of the cream, creating a balanced flavour profile that feels indulgent but refreshing at the same time.<\/p>\n

The pasta is complemented with asparagus, garden peas, freshly grated Parmesan and fragrant herbs, adding both colour and texture to the plate.<\/p>\n

Priced at R245, it\u2019s a well-rounded dish that works equally well for a relaxed lunch or an early evening bite at the bar.<\/p>\n

The Spring Garden Wrap: Fresh and Light<\/h3>\n

For guests looking for something lighter but still satisfying, The Spring Garden Wrap offers a vibrant alternative.<\/p>\n

The wrap combines herb-grilled chicken, creamy avocado and roasted baby carrots, all wrapped in a soft tortilla with spring greens and salty feta. To bring everything together, the dish is finished with a zesty lemon-honey yogurt dressing, adding a subtle sweetness that complements the savoury ingredients.<\/p>\n

Served with golden sweet potato crisps, the wrap delivers both freshness and crunch in every bite. At R95, it\u2019s a great option for a quick yet flavourful lunch.<\/p>\n
