Restaurant Jan

Nice, France

With dark moody walls, flickering candelabras, innovative cooking and just 24 seats, Restaurant Jan is a very special place indeed. South African chef Jan Hendrik has a background in food photography, which makes for some stunningly attractive plates, making up four- and seven-course tasting menus. His own heritage makes itself known on these menus, whilst additionally paying tribute to his location on the French Riviera, home of some of the world's finest produce from both land and sea. The menu is ever-changing, but dishes could include trafitional South African Vetkoek (fried bread) topped with caviar, or a sweet treat of classic French macarons incorporating the flavours of traditional Afrikaans Hertzoggie apricot and coconut cookie with a hint of verbena. The pièce de résistance however is undeniably the cheese course, where guests are led across the street to a dedicated cheese room to pick their favourite fromage.
