Restaurant Jan
Elegant foodie hot spot featuring Mediterranean-meets-South-African cuisine
Talented young South African chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuisen recently opened this stylish intimate dining spot – an eye-catching mix of Paris 1950s metro lamps, custom-made chairs and white tablecloths – and his gorgeously prepared inventive cuisine is like nothing you’ve ever tasted. Call it deconstructed modern cooking, partly inspired by his South African grandmother: garden vegetables with carrot marshmallows, stuffed guinea fowl, mushroom pie and pickled wild mushrooms, topped off by a soft dark chocolate cake with pumpkin crème brulée.
