It’s a legend of course, according to some (with authority) the best restaurant in Belgium. Venue is a treat (old chapel). Dishes exquisite, master Bril at work. Service impeccable. Wine pairing a delight. Wife and son took non-alcoholic pairing and must admit: at par. Had...a magic evening.More

This holy temple of gastronomy went down as my top 3 culinary journeys of all time. From the moment you step inside, everything around you changes. You are welcomed on a sensory path that indulges your taste buds, your feelings and your rooted perceptions about...food itself. The play of taste, textures and flavors is out of this world and the sequence of the tasting menu goes beyond any ordinary meal you might have encountered before. The staff are pure magic, having their own personality shining through and making you feel welcomed and pampered from start to finish. Last but not least. The Chef. I can’t remember the last time I met such a character. The passion, the entrepreneurial side, the love for food and culture. The craft, the vision and the approach. @nickbril, you are an amazing human being and such an inspiration for us, rookie cooks and chefs who step inside a kitchen and try to push against new boundaries. I remain humbled and grateful for meeting you and being part of your world for a couple of hours. THE JANE. And that says it all. 🖤More

This was my second visit. An absolutely marvellous experience from A to Z! The food is sublime, perfectly balanced flavours and textures, perfectly paced. Creative, interesting, delicious wine pairings. The service is top notch. Stunning ambiance. Thanks and congratulations to Nick and his fabulous team...in the kitchen and in the dining room.More

If church visits on Sundays are not for you, try booking a Sunday lunch in this ancient chapel in Antwerp that has been transformed into one of the most stunning restaurant venues I have ever visited. Our lunch lasted almost six hours and I wouldn't...have wanted to miss a second of it. From the creative food to the high-class wine pairing to the always friendly staff to the impressive interior design including a good view into the kitchen - everything was in place for a truly memorable fine dining experience. Definitely worth the detour to Antwerp.More

Also for lunch a splendid place with lots of light falling in. Service is fluent the food OUTSTANDING ! Ideal for a celebration. Only one menu but all dishes cover taste of everyone. Refined, light, elegant ! Nick Bril is a master of haute cuisine...in a both relax and warm-hearted way !More

We had the great chance to go to The Jane, and what an amazing evening! The place is fabulous, the decoration sublime. The menu was magic, incredible flavours, the plates were works of art. And to top it all off, the service was a perfection,...super nice passionate people. A dream evening with great colleagues!More

The Jane was my first taste of Michelin dining, and it did not disappoint. That’s a massive understatement. It was the best dinner of our lives. Between the sophisticated decor and reverent yet lively setting, we were already primed for great dinner and drinks. We...enjoyed the food, wine, cocktails, and ambience for nearly 5 hours. Each dish surpassed the one before it, and we we finished the night with A5 Wagyu beef and a bottle of Cantillon (beer nerds rejoice). If you have the discretionary income for the experience, lean into it! It was our favorite dining experience and we still talk about it til this day!More

Beautiful, laid back, set in an old church where the chef creates stunning work. The series of Japanese inspired dishes were like the kitchen team caught the country in a bottle and served it halfway across the world. The mixed-media FLUX dish was a fun...experience as well. All in all this restaurant presents creative takes on international cuisine as well as oldschool western european with lots of fish and sea food. The staff were excellent and friendly. Hope to be able to visit this restaurant again.More

I was given a gift voucher for a meal for 2 at The Jane and due to corona hadf to wait 18 months to use it. I was so excited to be there and the venue did not disappoint, it was beautiful. The sevice was...brilliant and all the staff have a good knowledge of food and wine. Although I loved the menu my husband does not eat seafood and the menu he had was not varied enough over the 10 courses. 7 of the 10 courses were seafood and my husbands menu did not include any other meat dishes. It was all vegetarian. Great if you are a vegetarian but not if your not. He said most dishes resembled each other and there was not much variance. We also took the drink package to accompany each course and although the wines were excellent we were only poured enough for 3 mouthfulls of wine. We thought 120 euros a bit expensive for this. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, the ambience and the service.More

We visited on a saturday evening. Restaurant was fully booked, but due to corona-measures there was lot's of space. It was one of the best culinary experiences we had during the last couple of years. Perfect pairing of food and wine. Professional staff with a...bit of humour. The different dishes came at a good pace, but not too fast... 1 word: Sublime !More

Finally secured a table at The Jane following fails on a couple of previous planned trips to Antwerp. It was worth the wait. The area, the setting, the building ….. weren’t as expected, all slightly incongruous for such a hallowed dining dining mecca. Once inside...though, the building, a former chapel to a military hospital, is infact the perfect backdrop - majestically high ceilinged & stunningly decked out, it’s a beautiful & rather special environment. Decor is modern & the atmosphere laid back. Staff were young, polished, committed & informed, but also friendly & easy going. I loved their ‘Jane’ logo sneakers! Tables are widely spaced, I’m not sure if Covid has dictated this, but it is an enjoyable aspect & all have a view onto the kitchen, housed within a kind of glass conservatory. I spotted proprietor/chef Nik Bril amongst the team, beavering away at the stove. The menu is fixed, the same come lunch or dinner, consisting of 11/12 courses & priced currently at €215 per person. Seafood predominates, with just a couple of meat dishes. You can inform The Jane of dietary requirements ahead of your visit but may be charged if you want to make amendments on the day. There are some seafoods I’m not a fan of such as oysters but I figured that within a tasting menu & at the hands of such a super chef that I would just roll with it & allow myself to be surprised. Sure enough even these tasted great! Wine pairing is charged at €125 per person, €90 for the non-alcoholic version. I opted for champagne & wine by the glass & found them to be fairly reasonably priced given the occasion. Food was absolutely sublime, really complex, accomplished, creative stuff. The influence of Nick’s time in Asia adds a zingy & refreshing touch to the menu. Courses are very well sized & balanced, I didn’t feel overly stuffed as is sometimes the case with multi course menus. Set aside an afternoon or full evening for your visit, the experience is premised upon allowing around four & a half hours. I was asked if this was ok & only because of later commitments did I have to request that this was speeded up a little to nearer three & a half hours. Either way, the timing works, neither rushed nor laboured, the additional hour allows you to pop in a cheese course & coffee if desired. Presentation was also stunning, as were the very arty, individual plates & dishes used to showcase the food. Placed on my table was Nik Brils book which I initially nonchalantly flicked through imagining it would contain recipes etc, but ended up being quite enthralled by his story & honest, straightforward philosophies. To conclude, a terrific overall experience, worth the splurge & highly recommended to fine food lovers.More

Went here for a birthday visit and had one of the top 3 dinners ever. Food was amazing and service was very friendly with a good balance between polite and informal. Great that some of the sauces were served on the table so we could...take freely. Wines were good as well. Juices were ok, but we had better experiences on this. All in all great visit. Expensive but for us it was worth itMore
