Excellence in every detail! Professionalism hand in hand with kindness. It’s one of the few places where the atmosphere, great hospitality is pleasantly combined with the very best food! I think it’s the best restaurant in Antwerp.

Time: Lunch (12:30-16:30)
Number of courses: 10 (fixed lunch arrangement)
The damage: (one xs lonchamp Le Roseau bag and one Bottega Venneta cassette credit card case)

+ Architectural and interior ambiance: Situated in a former chapel, praised for its modern outlook. As art lovers, we loved gazing through the details in the creative glass work and the large light fixtures.

+ The staff, though youthful, demonstrated a good level of professionalism and attentiveness, ensuring a polished and considerate service throughout the dining experience.

+  The cuisine was creative with a homage to the classics and welcoming notes from the Orient. Loved the plating and presentation of the food, every bite was delicious.

(Extra remark)
We personally would love an option for a smaller tasting menu (esp. for lunch).

The occasion:
My boyfriend and I treated ourselves to a gastronomic high after missing out on our original plans to dine out at Seasgair (during our trip to Scotland). At the time, I was unfit to go last minute due to some force majeure. But we happily spent a whole afternoon at the Jane.

The experience and price was worth while, although I am not sure if this would be top of the list - with regards to high end restaurant’s I’d recommend my friends or relatives.

There have been moments in the past where I dined, and experienced a - je ne sais quoi - moment where I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised by the flavour combinations and the innovative way of presentation. This feeling today was slightly lacking for me (personally).

The Jane, a two Michelin star restaurant located in Antwerp, Belgium, offers an exceptional culinary experience that showcases impressive gastronomy. The menu is a testament to the chef's creativity and skill, featuring dishes that are both innovative and meticulously crafted. Each plate is a work of art, with harmonious flavors and the highest quality ingredients. The tasting menu is particularly noteworthy, taking diners on a journey through a series of courses that highlight the best of seasonal produce and culinary technique.

However, despite the extraordinary food, the service at The Jane falls short of the standards one might expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The waitstaff, though knowledgeable, seemed more focused on the food than on the diner’s overall experience. This was particularly evident when staff repeatedly asked diners to return to their seats, even while they were using the restroom stalls. Expectations from the staff regarding restroom use were not clearly explained initially, leading to confusion and discomfort. After being informed of these expectations, it felt as though we needed to ask permission to use the restroom, which significantly detracted from the dining experience.

While the staff was polite and courteous, these interruptions and the overall inattentiveness led to a service experience that did not match the culinary excellence.

In summary, The Jane offers an unparalleled culinary experience with dishes that are sure to delight any food enthusiast. However, for a truly outstanding dining experience, significant improvements in service are necessary to match the excellence found in the kitchen. Overall, it fell short of the highly coveted two Michelin stars it received.

Overall an okay place.

10/10 for service. The staff is super friendly, personable and attentive. They were great to talk to. They made you feel super welcome.

8/10 the atmosphere was nice. The place itself is pretty trendy and unique.

6/10 the food was okay. Some of the dishes were bland and some were too salty.  Overall it was fine but would expect more from a top rated restaurant.

7/10 the wines and cocktails were pretty good.

Overall would recommend trying this place but not a priority compared to other Michelin star restaurants as the food was not anything out of the box.
