Tashas Group has long been synonymous with a vibrant, all-day dining experience that draws crowds for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. With the opening of Tashas LXX in Sandhurst, the brand is expanding its repertoire, positioning itself as a premier dinner destination in the affluent suburb, right in the middle of Africa’s richest square mile. Whether patrons choose to dine inside the elegantly designed space or al fresco under a jacaranda tree, Tashas LXX promises a seamless transition from casual mornings to chic, sophisticated evenings.
As with each of our stores, Tashas LXX features two menus—the Classic Menu and the Inspired By Menu. This dual offering allows customers to explore familiar favourites or venture into new culinary territories. For Tashas LXX, we’ve put significant emphasis on our dinner menu, making it an excellent choice for an evening meal with friends, family, or colleagues.

Starters at Tashas LXX are a testament to this philosophy, with offerings like the Prawn Gratin, which features succulent prawns bathed in a tarragon mustard cream sauce and served with toasted ciabatta. Another highlight is the Tomato Caprese, which brings together heirloom tomatoes, basil dressing, herbed stracciatella cheese, and crispy basil on charred ciabatta.
For a lighter option, the Nicoise Salad with flaked tuna, cucumber, baby potatoes, and lemon vinaigrette offers a refreshing start to any meal, while the Crispy Ginger Calamari delivers a spicy kick with calamari, crispy ginger, garlic, red chili, and a homemade sweet chili dressing.
For the main course, Tashas LXX presents an array of comforting and adventurous options. The Cottage Pie is a delightful blend of sofrito miso mushrooms, peas, carrots, and parmesan mash, while the Cornflake Pork Schnitzel offers a crispy twist on a classic dish, paired with slaw, mustard and orange marmalade sauce, and crème fraîche mayo potato salad. For those seeking something different, the Rigatoni Vodka—a mix of tomato, vodka, cream, rigatoni pasta, Italian hard cheese, and crispy tomato chips—is a must-try. The Verde Pasta, infused with basil pesto and featuring mange tout, green beans, peas, baby potatoes, herbed stracciatella, pistachio almond crumble, and crispy Italian hard cheese, is another standout dish.
Dessert lovers will not be disappointed, with choices like the Pear & Walnut Upside Down Cake, Coffee Pavlova, Lemon Posset, and a delectable Trifle with vanilla custard rounding off the dining experience on a sweet note.
In designing Tashas LXX, Natasha Sideris and her team once again collaborated with Nicky Greig and the interior design company Verhaal, led by interior architect Neydine Bak and Dewald Struwig. Handmade plates and bowls from some of South Africa’s best ceramicists are complemented by timeless materials such as oak, brass, marble, and stucco, all of which contribute to an atmosphere of understated elegance.
One of the interior’s most striking features is a large-scale installation by artist Elonah O’Neil. Crafted from ceramic petals, this artwork captures the essence of nature and is a focal point of the space. The ceramic petals are also incorporated into the bespoke menu design by A.M Studio, tying the overall aesthetic together beautifully.
Developed by The Cavaleros Group, LXX Sandhurst represents a fusion of world-class luxury, unparalleled convenience, and an upmarket selection of culinary, cafe, and retail experiences. Natasha highlights the strong partnership between Tashas and The Cavaleros Group, a relationship that has spanned nearly two decades.
They build fantastic developments, and LXX Sandhurst is one of a kind in the area. Penny Cavaleros has been an unbelievable supporter and has become a good family friend.
