An intimate, Michelin-starred restaurant where Mediterranean flavours meet the South African roots of chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen.
Located at 12 rue Lascaris, in the Port district, JAN is an exceptional address offering a unique tasting menu every evening. In a cozy dining room seating twenty to twenty-four, you'll discover a cuisine that's bold, refined and personal. The chef, South Africa's first Michelin-starred chef, shares his story with every dish.
The menu changes with the seasons, inspiration and market produce. There's nothing to choose from, just let yourself be carried away. The dishes subtly blend the techniques of French gastronomy with the flavors of southern Africa. The presentation is meticulous, the balance of tastes precise, and each service tells a story. Food and wine pairings, often combining local and South African vintages, enhance the experience.
The welcome is worthy of the place: elegant, attentive and warm. The staff accompany guests with discretion and kindness. Jan Hendrik himself sometimes takes the time to greet the tables. Everything is designed to create a smooth, memorable, high-quality experience.
The decor is chic and subdued, with contemporary touches and a private home feel. Dark walls, chandeliers, spaced tables and a hushed ambience create an atmosphere conducive to tasting and concentration. The place is perfect for a special occasion, a moment out of time.
