The Jane.
The Jane first opened its doors in 2014 and offers a unique combination of first-class gastronomy made accessible to a wide audience – young or old, foodies or guests who have since experienced gastronomy for the first time.
The restaurant is located in the former chapel of the Military Hospital. The chapel and surrounding area have been completely renovated after years of vacancy. Piet Boon provided the restaurant’s design and, together with various artists and craftsmen, ensured that The Jane has become a real gem.
The Jane is the gourmet restaurant on the ground floor and all tables overlook the open kitchen. There is an extensive wine list offering both new organic wines and golden oldies from renowned wine estates. On the first floor, you’ll find ‘untitled. ‘
About Nick Bril
At the age of 14, Nick Bril started as a dishwasher in a restaurant. After a year, he got the chance to help out in the kitchen, where he would eventually get a taste for gastronomy. At the age of 19, Nick went to work for Sergio Herman (Restaurant Oud Sluis), awarded three Michelin stars, and he immediately fell in love with kitchen rock & roll. That meant working really hard, trying to match perfection while creating an easy going and chill atmosphere rather than coming across as stiff and impersonal.
“I am still at the beginning of my career. I try to travel as often as possible to get to know other cultures, people, ingredients, That way I can develop myself further. When I eventually return to The Jane, I will be bursting with new ideas for both the restaurant and the bar. My ultimate goal is to translate this feeling and my experiences to the plate so guests can see, smell and taste it for themselves. The combination of great food, artists and designers makes my job as an entrepreneur incredibly exciting, but at the same time it is one of the most challenging jobs I have ever had.”
