MICHELIN CONFIRMS RESTAURANT JAN’S STAR FOR 2023 ⭐️
Since we first gave South African cuisine a world stage when we received our first star, the annual Michelin awards win France have been a big deal for us. From the comfort of an elegant dining chair, guests of Restaurant JAN have been able to experience something of our amazing South African spirit and hospitality through dishes ranging from bobotie, melkkos, vetkoek, pap and Sheba sauce to biltong, buchu, rooibos, atchar, tsamma melon and game meat.
Today, attending the awards in Strasbourg and having JAN’s star renewed for the eighth year in a row, it dawned on me what a privilege it is to be a part of such a small and carefully selected group of culinary magicians. It truly is an honour to be recognised amongst such talent.
Congratulations to the four new two-star establishments in France, who truly deserve this award. You keep us motivated and make the younger generation of hospitality artists love what they do.
Well done to my team at @restaurantjan @pascal665, @scott_borreros, @celine_wdh @hakim ajraibi – and all our South African teams – for sharing what I believe is the true art of hospitality. It’s very simple. Today, I have a big bright smile on my face. Thank you for your continued support JH X
