The Jane

Top choice in Antwerp


In a stunningly repurposed old military-hospital chapel, the Jane's sublime two-Michelin-star dining is such an overwhelmingly fabulous experience that you'll need to book online exactly three months ahead…on the dot of 8am.

If you’re not up for a full night of fine dining, it's just a little easier to get lunch reservations for the more casual upstairs bar space that stares down on the main restaurant through a gigantic 900kg starburst chandelier, but you'll probably still need to think weeks ahead. Alternatively, drop in any night after 10pm for cocktails (€16) or a glass of wine (from €8). The location is off the beaten track in a quiet if rather grand inner suburb.
