Dinner at The Jane Antwerp

And then came The Jane 2.0. ✨
Chef Nick Bril has reimagined his iconic restaurant in Antwerp’s Montevideowijk — where historic dockside warehouses meet sleek new architecture. The new Jane rises in a bold corten steel structure, perfectly blending industrial heritage with contemporary design.

And then came The Jane 2.0. ✨
Chef Nick Bril has reimagined his iconic restaurant in Antwerp’s Montevideowijk — where historic dockside warehouses meet sleek new architecture. The new Jane rises in a bold corten steel structure, perfectly blending industrial heritage with contemporary design.

The new Jane is a total work of art — where Bril’s love for luxury, design, art, and music harmoniously collide. A tapestry by Jeroen van den Bogaert graces the wall, while tons of natural stone form the tables and benches, creating a space that feels both raw and refined.

Now hosting only 28 guests, intimacy takes center stage. Architect Nicolas Schuybroek designed a setting that balances privacy and spectacle — and Bril commands it all like the performer he is, moving seamlessly between the flames, the guests, and the art of the plate 🔥

A master of “glocal” gastronomy — global inspiration, local ingredients — Bril crafts dishes that are creative, soulful, and technically brilliant. His seafood is exceptional, perfected through dry-aging, and his sauces and fermented vegetables add layers of depth. Occasionally, even a touch of molecular magic appears.

Tip for future diners: choose your menu words wisely! Don’t ask for The Full Experience as you can land on the Experience Menu in which you miss out on the Flux Alba and Irish Mör dish.

Still, the highlight of the lunch was unforgettable: Japanese Akita Komachi rice with foie gras, wasabi, and Sicilian gobbetto shrimp — a combination as surprising as it was sublime.

From turbot with smoked mussel to sashimi with nitrogen pearls, Bril mixes glocal soul with luxury, purity with playfulness — orchestrating rhythm and contrast like a true DJ, in both kitchen and sound.

The Jane 2.0 is pure class — from chef to team, design to experience. One of the finest restaurants out there, led by a chef who knows how to delight every palate.

But most of all, it’s a story of resilience. 🙌 Whatever anyone may say, the strength and determination with which Nick Bril has faced his storms is nothing short of remarkable and deeply admirable. Hats off to him, his family, and the entire crew. Less

heard some good stuff about this seafood heavy restaurant within a repurposed chapel with high vaulted ceilings. a bit of nordic and japanese touch also, and really appreciated that most the dishes weren’t too heavy or rich.

starting bites were nice, very light and delicate, followed by the agnolotto which was one of my favourites today. stuffed with squid and topped with more fried squid. really enjoyed the sea urchin flan which was sweet and not very rich in urchin flavour, the signature oyster with a hefty amount of ingredients like tuna tartare, caviar, buttermilk sauce with bread miso was also surprisingly tasty. fish and other shellfish had good cooking but not too memorable, before a deer course to end all the seafood dishes. dessert was slightly underwhelming with too much hints of the bitterness from root vegetable that doesn’t really draw a good close to the meal. overall solid meal with a very long course, not a lot of wow factors and the flavour profile of the meal was more or less unanimous.

tasting menu: (€275)
grey shrimp, burrata, pumpkin
buckwheat blini with robiola and currant
amaebi, bottarga, radish
agnolotto, manzanilla, chipirones, squid
smoked seabass, kaffir, crème cru beach crab
sea urchin flan, eel
signature irish mor oyster, balfegó
pollock ‘meunière’, mussel ‘à la crème’
langoustine, jerusalem artichoke, nori
scallop, oxtail bouillon, spelt
deer, aligot, savoy cabbage
citrus, sudachi, aloë vera
boskoop, spices, cranberry, jerusalem artichoke

would revisit: try once
reservations: yes
price range pp: €300-€600

As we had such a good time at Tim Boury we extended this by booking ourselves the following day into The Jane. I have not been there for a long time, it was at the very beginning when Sergio Hermans was still in charge.
Nich Brill cooks for his guest, fully aware that they have a local palate but wants to make it interesting for them. This means using Asian flavors and techniques carefully so it is still recognizable as Belgium but with added touch.
He masters this with becoming completely “Japanified”... More

He masters this with becoming completely “Japanified” as many other restaurants do.
A great meal in one of the most dramatic settings one can find.

Why @thejaneantwerp ? ~ The Jane (🌟🌟) by @nickbril had a very challenging task, they were the restaurant in the eyes 👀 of everyone at probably the biggest gathering of culinary minds in the world this past October in Antwerp 🇧🇪 for the @theworlds50best , and they rose to the occasion, I can’t only imagine the amount of effort that went through in performing at that level 💯 under that pressure, but they seem to have fun, so they were clearly used to it ✨. Not only the restaurant is located in a charming chapel 💒 making it one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the world 🌎 (yes!) but the service and wine led by @alexandrmartens and @vetstresor were just outstanding (best pairing of the year for me 🍷) the meal has an extreme attention to detail like in this interdisciplinary dish with @aylinhazel.studio where they showcase some inspirations through Asia with a tuna with koshihikari rice, a chawanmushi with crab & dumpling with sea buckthorn xo. All these bites were just perfect as well as the whole orchestration of the meal. Furthermore, a trip a few blocks away to the rooftop gardens 🌱 completed an experience that is truly worth of a special journey, won’t be surprise this place gets elevated to the 🌟🌟🌟 they showcased during this meal.

Michelin star chef/owner Sergio Herman and his former Chef patron Nick Brill opened this contemporary restaurant in a chapel of a former military hospital. The Jane is one of the trendiest places at the moment in Antwerp with an amazing interior. The 80 seat restaurant was full lunchtime on a Thursday.
The well balanced and creative menu is served by an attentive, happy and helpful staff.
There was one menu available, together with the amuse bouches we have received 12 courses for 155 Euro.

Wine pairing is available for 75 and 95 Euros, the non alcohol- pairing is 65 Euro.
All of dishes were prepared and plated with care and attention. Some unusual ingredient pairings appeared at the table, such as chawanmushi carabinero with sea urchin and truffle soy vinaigrette, wild pheasant with paktmushroom and chicory. Our favourites were the oyster ceviche and the risotto with eel and herbs but all other plates were also 10 out of 10
Lunch was finished off with 2 incredible Jasper Valley (Massachusetts) cheese and a mind-blowing good cheesecake. Less
