A high quality, unique dining experience. Dinner lasted ~3 hours. We opted for the signature course + non-alcoholic pairings.

Food: Although there were 2 dishes and 1 pairing which were not for me, the food was otherwise delicious and of exceptional quality. The lobster dish and cod dish were phenomenal. Personally not really into cheese, but the cheese room was a unique experience and a nice break in the meal.

Service: Flawless. Staff were attentive, polite, and accommodating. Truly Michelin standard level of service. They even gave us a cookbook to bring home as a souvenir (pictured above).

Atmosphere: The atmosphere was intimate, although the volume level does get a bit loud; we found ourselves raising our voices to hear each other at one point (some may not mind this).

Overall, would recommend JAN!

This restaurant had the best service I've ever had. The staff were so kind and had knowledge on every dish and wine served. They gave us a bowl to wash our hands which had a lovely aroma and every time we finished a course, they would remove the crumbs off our table.

The food is very different to what I had before, very innovative and it all goes so well and taste so flavourful. We also got to go to the cheese room which was a delightful experience too.

We left so satisfied and we will come back here when were back in Nice.

One of the courses they take you to the cheese room which is amazing because you can pick from 30+ cheeses. We did the french / South African wine pairing which was great. Overall amazing. Was about €500~~ for 2 people

We dined at Jan in Nice, and it truly lived up to its Michelin-starred reputation, offering an exceptional dining experience. As a South African now living in Europe, it was refreshing to enjoy bold South African flavors once again. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with robust flavors that stood out. A standout dish for me was the deconstructed bobotie, which was both innovative and full of flavor. Another highlight was the “Kaas en Konfyt Kamer,” an intriguing experience where we crossed the street to a separate room dedicated to tasting a variety of cheeses. Overall, it was a memorable and impressive meal.
