About
THE JANE The Jane first opened its doors in 2014, offering a unique combination of top notch gastronomy made accessible for a broad audience — whether young or old, foodies or guests who experience gastronomy for the first time — ever since. The restaurant is set in the former chapel of the Military Hospital. The chapel as well as the surrounding site have been completely renovated after years of emptiness. Piet Boon took care of the restaurant’s design and together with various artists and craftspeople he made sure The Jane became a real gem. The Jane is the gastronomic restaurant set on the ground floor and all tables have a view onto the open kitchen. There is an extensive wine list that offers both new biological wines and golden oldies of renowned wine domains. On the first floor, you can find Jane's Upper Room Bar.

The Jane in Antwerp offers an extraordinary dining experience with exceptional food presentation, elegant ambiance, and attentive service. Housed in a beautifully restored chapel, the sophisticated setting and open kitchen concept create a unique atmosphere. Although pricey, the quality and overall experience justify the cost, making it an ideal choice for special occasions.

We were there with the kids to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was fantastic. The food was indescribably so good. The signature dish was not suitable for me - can't stand oysters. Something else would come. That went wrong resume- I didn't get anything because it couldn't be changed. Fine why it went wrong? But at my request it was still given to the rest of my table companions. And extra caviar. A fantastic solution. It was an unforgettable experience. The food , ambiance and staff were absolutely top notch. An unforgettable evening. 😘

The Jane is an experience you will never forget, the setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed, the service is top notch and then the food.
There is a fixed menu with fish and shellfish, only main course meat, every plate is a painting but the taste is what really prevails, every part has a function and everything is in balance. For me a small point of criticism, the desserts could be a little sweeter, but this is a chocoholic.
Then the price: it is high, menu, aperitif, coffee and wines, count on 450 per person. Not for every day, but if you get the chance, do it, you won't regret it.

Unfortunately, the experience is that you are robbed at The Jane in Antwerp. An organic juice menu for € 115,- the man and you are not even told this politely. They tell you about these juices, but not what it costs. In addition, expensive bottles of water are placed on the table unsolicited, without me even asking for this. Then they say that with the desserts you can choose from sweet or sweet, in this case cheese, but if you choose cheese, you have to pay more. You will not be told that either, no, it will simply be stated on your invoice.
It leaves a nasty aftertaste, especially if you are robbed by a drunk chef.

The location is more than beautiful. The expectations were high. It started with a big drink of Krug for €40 a glass. No problem spending €40 (you could choose from 3 types of Champagne with a price of €25 to €40), but this was very meager. The appetizers were great. And then they bring you the menu that you can take with you as a souvenir. I think that's a bit touristy. Yes, what should you do with it? I'd say save the paper. The rest of the menu consisted mainly of many dishes with some smoke in them. Tastes differ of course. But it was smoked too much for our taste. Staff excellent at first. Someone will introduce themselves and be your point of contact during the evening. However, during the last 3 courses she was busy preparing cheese desserts and no longer paid any attention to the guests. A colleague who asked her something was rudely dismissed. And the rest of the staff was running like crazy at the end, and the kitchen staff was cleaning like crazy. I received my glass of dessert wine when the dessert was already half finished. I thought €900 for 2 people was too high a price for this The Jane experience. There are better restaurants with only 1 star if you ask me. This was a one-off for us.

Yesterday, after 3 years of trying, I finally had dinner at The Jane. Great experience both on a culinary and social level. A total experience where cooking is brought to the highest level in an incredibly beautiful setting by a spontaneous but well-oiled team. We spent 4.5 hours there but were not bored for a minute. The 17 different nationalities among the employees create a worldly atmosphere. This together with the international audience present creates something unique. It's a shame that those sublime experiences always cost so much money 😉

We were really looking forward to this evening, reserved far in advance and paid a ridiculously high deposit. When you entered it was already very messy, no, you have to wait here, no, you just come along, oh, you still have coats, yes, wait a while, then give me those coats here.
There were eight of us and we had a super cool spot for the kitchen, I thought... I was looking forward to the chefs and service running around all evening, I found that incredibly disturbing and unprofessional. Finally switched places and that was better. But even at the table the waiters started shouting at each other and then I really thought what happened here, is this a joke? We saw so many different faces at the table throughout the evening, it was a real shame that there was no permanent hostess/man per table. Another downside: the tables were not cleared, there were bread crumbs and empty containers of butter everywhere.
The food, on the other hand, was really fantastic, what a treat to taste all those different flavors at the same time. Beautifully made plates where different structures and colors came together beautifully. The smoked bread was also really tasty.
The chaos of the service and chefs dominates when I think back to The Jane, which is a shame because the food was incredibly tasty.

We enjoyed very much in this special restaurant. The entourage is unique. Spacious with a beautiful and fitting interior by Piet Boon.
The dishes are all gems. Fantastic harmony and originality in every dish. And particularly tasty! The signature of the chef can always be found in this. Still, a more daring dish would fit in with more emphasis on the main ingredient.
Rarely experienced such consistent quality. Transcends the category of 2 stars. Special but also very present [lounge]- music. Is fine but there may be a bit more variety from me.
Are there any caveats? Yes, I do.
Quite a few different people come to your table. Always getting used to it. In the kitchen that is clearly visible through the glass wall is very hard work. So hard it looks like the turbo was put on. Run and trot. Everything in top gear. Not exactly soothing for guests. If you find this too much ask for a table further away from the kitchen. The wine list is so large [100 pag +] that there is a lot of choice. You wonder how the sommelier can manage this in terms of the age of the wines. And the layout of the wine list is rather odd. First by flavour intensity then by country and region.
And finally, you can witness the thorough cleaning of the kitchen. Must be done and is important. But to be able to witness this for an hour at the end of the menu was less attractive to us. Perhaps a tip to lower some screens then.

Great food, but overall disappointed by the experience. Food served with empty glasses or even no glasses on the table. When there is a 30min gap between meals(or 1h30min for aperitif) I would expect a refill but this never happened in the end I ended up ordering an additional glass of wine(also a small serving).In the beginning of the dinner, 4 bread choices were available, by the end of the evening only the dark bread remained. Between meals, the cutlery is swapped, but on occasion this was forgotten. Overall not what I expected in a 2 star restaurant, but I would go back just for the food!

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.

This was an outstanding experience from the beginning to the end. The staff, the divine creations of the food all to perfection. We are very impressed - lead by a chef who truly follows his passion to absolute perfection. Genius.
The setting is amazing, the porcelain, the whole energy of the chapel is worth the highest praise.

Wow, what a sensational experience! The Jane is a unique food temple. The service was excellent, extremely courteous that made for an unforgettable experience. The flavours of The Jane were sublime, each dish was pure understated class with a balanced taste structure, refinement and individuality, as well as the adapted world wines were exquisitely tasty. A real must-do for the connoisseurs. Special thanks to the great chef Nick Bril and his team for this experience that we will never forget.

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. 🖤

Too bad we had to wait 6 minutes in the cold outside on the terrace to be able to have lunch at noon. Allergy questionnaire was not followed, my girlfriend had to skip Nick's signature dish. It was indicated that Nick is very strict and therefore does not want to make any concessions, such as omitting the sauce. Unfortunately. Dishes looked beautiful, but after all courses specific flavors were lost. For the amount paid, there was no wow factor.

You are offered a 4-5 hours experience.
Service is smooth and good (not too formal)
Wines and juices were all to perfection
Food was super. Fixed Menu contains mostly sea food.
All allergies and wishes we gave upfront were taken care off. And even the printed menu was adapted per person to reflect that ( it s the details that make it great)
