    I have dined at a few Michelin restaurants, this has been my absolute favourite! When one thinks about fine dining, an experience and celebration of food, Restaurant JAN personally hit the mark and did not disappoint. Every plate was quality at its best and tasted of everything outstanding, it might have just been the best meal I had been served. The hosts and servers were delightful and very professional. And the cheese room was simply charming. A truly incredible dining experience!

    One of the most thoughtful, original, and interesting meals I’ve ever had. The inspired menu is derived from multiple South Africa dishes and flavors. Some are deconstructed and some preserved in their original format. The palette is quite different from traditional French cuisine, but the chef worked some real magic to blend the two. Service was pleasant, polite, and refined. The non-alcoholic pairing is quite interesting and a nice departure from the wine pairing offered in this type of setting. The cheese table is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else. Highly recommended experience.

    Phenomenal! Chef Jan brings his South African touch to French cuisine to create a tasting adventure. We tried the Diamant Menu, and it is completely worth it. The Chef personally said hello to the guests in the restaurant which was a wonderful touch in addition to excellent service from the staff. The mid-meal detour to their cheese room was unique and definitely added to the overall experience.

    Well worth a visit...or 2 when in Nice! Memories where made with our visit to this amazing corner of Nice, Restaurant Jan was 100% our highlight. First class service, amazingly beautifully crafted food, dramatic atmosphere and top class French and South African wines will leave you wanting to come back again and again. Thanks to the whole team...spoil yourself with the cheese dish...you won't regret it. Lip lek lekker.

    It was late dining since 5 course. Idea behind presented menu were fascinating, however it made U turn after stuffs begin to presenting each dish, some of them were very good at interaction, but most of them seems had a long day just want to done the process as soon as possible, one point I was questioning more info of African ingredient presented in the dish, all I got was nod from stuff. Confusing I should say. Dishes: starters in general were very good, then somehow main and ‘cheese pause’ were lost in translation: there were too many choices that you can combine yourself( great!), but what is our flavor expectation from the DIY? For me it was formality covers all than rather flavor exploration. Finishing: rest of dishes were good but unfortunately I have no memories after all since it was super late, stuff were also exhausted didn’t even notice we left. Reflection: ‘ fun’ dining, great idea, great food, For fine dining I rather continue explorer other place before thinking of Return.

    The blend between South African & French cuisine was spectacular, but the service had some mistakes (8.9/10 rating). The food was spectacular and makes the experience worth the amount paid. The dishes are packed with exploding flavours and are presented perfectly, combining elegance with theater on each plate. Although the staff were extremely attentive, there were a few mistakes. Received the wrong champagne (white instead of rose), waiter spilled the remainder of the amuse bouche on the table cloth when cleaning the plate(stone), the cheese course could have been explained better, we asked for and did not receive the aperitif menu. I would still highly recommend the experience, the South African influence on the food is assertive and extremely pleasing on the palate.

    It was a great introduction to south African cuisine. The dishes were beautiful done, flavorful and delicious. A good balance of French an south African cuisine was served. The experience was great as well, the cheese room is very unique. The wine pairing with the dishes was lovely.

    Truly an exceptional experience! The food, staff and menu is second to none. Of the Michelin starred restaurants we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy, this is at the top of our list! Charlotte and team were also fantastic with service and wine recomendations…thank you for making our experience one to remember! And that cheese course! 😍😍

    Overall wonderful food and service by the team at Jan but impossible to offer the full 5 stars as the meal took just so long. I don’t understand why the full 7 course is only available from 20.30, it makes for a very very late finish. For the rest the food is exquisite, dietary needs are met without any fuss and the cheese room is something really quite special

    One of the BEST dining experiences we have ever had in 30+ countries we have visited. Incredible food and presentation. Unique and well executed. Congrats to chef Jan

  • 5/5 VAHO 1 year ago on Google • 60 reviews
    What an absolute treat and perfection this experience was. Not easy to describe in few words. The food was absolutely amazing paired with delicious wines. The service was exceptional. Several small dishes exuded sophistication without being imposing and comprising on the taste. The restaurant staff was very kind in accommodating my culinary restrictions which I greatly appreciated. The experience also includes a little trip across the road just to enjoy the cheese and condiments and if you are still up for it, you’ll be ushered back for the desserts. Is it expensive? YES! Did I feel it was worth it? ABSOLUTELY 👍

  • 5/5 Kathleen 4 months ago on Google • 48 reviews
    I had a very nice time at Jan. The food was amazing and the sommelier was very friendly. The bobotie two ways was my favorite! I think there needs to be more explanation of the cheeses and wine pairing in the cheese room. It would help tie the whole experience together.

  • 5/5 Brian G. 4 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Presentation is just knockout, with flavors to match. And the visit to the cheese store was an incredible highlight. An absolutely stunning meal to remember.

  • 5/5 Barbara J. 3 years ago on Google
    Le Sejour is not just the best restaurant in Nice, it's the best restaurant in the south of France. The service and ambience are superb, the food is divine. You must book a table because it is, naturally, very popular. Even in these rather difficult times, the owner's high standards haven't changed. A visit to Nice is not complete unless you have a meal at Le Sejour.

  • 5/5 Corinne L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Zacharie D. 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is outstanding. I have eaten at many Michelin-starred places in the Bay Area, but I'd say the food here beats many of the 2-star places. (And Le Séjour has zero star) We were mind-blown by how such a small cafe on the street could be so good...so we kept on coming back to make sure it wasn't just one lucky meal. We literally came here THREE times during our short 4-day stay in Nice.

    Fantastic restaurant with unbelievable food that reminded me of those wonderful childhood memories of bliss in the sun. Jan was such a special experience weaving a beautiful African culinary story into an edible art experience. The staff was attentive and fantastic and Jan made the experience all the more special…if you can book in advance and be in for the experience!

    (Translated by Google) Ambience like at home in the living room. Definitely reserve! Simply world class food. Service great! I had pulpo salad for starters and my friend had goose liver. A delicious taste. The main course was a fish with fennel and artichokes. My friend ordered the pigeon according to tradition. Simply world class. We rounded off our dinner with a bottle of wine from the Loire. Be sure to try the Dessert Surprise. There is a sample of all. (Original) Ambiente wie zu Hause im Wohnzimmer. Unbedingt reservieren! Essen einfach Weltklasse. Service top! Ich hatte zur Vorspeise Pulposalat und mein Freund Gänseleber. Geschmacklich eine herrlich. Als Hauptgang hatte ich einen Fisch mit Fenchel und Artischocken. Mein Freund bestellte die Taube nach Tradition Art. Einfach Weltklasse. Mit einer Flache Wein aus der Loire haben wir unser Abendessen abgerundet. Unbedingt das Dessert Surprise ausprobieren. Von allen gibt es eine Kostprobe.

    In 4 words: out of this world! Where do I begin… the good was the best we ever had (and we have had a lot in our lives) and the staff was even better… they were all so friendly and warm! It was one of the best experiences we ever had in our lives! Without a doubt!

  • 5/5 Stephan H. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve had. The food was absolutely amazing, service was outstanding too. What really stood out was the bobotie, the peche du port de Nice and the strawberry purée meringue. You need to get the cheese addiction. The restaurant takes you across the street to their fromagerie to eat a large assortment of cheeses and fixings. It was really fun and different. They have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairings with dinner.

  • 5/5 Vincent L. 1 year ago on Google
    Dinner at Jan was fun and memorable. One highlight was a South African casserole served two ways: as prescribed, a hearty, filling dish to dig into; and deconstructed, with each ingredient individually celebrated and perhaps one or two surprise ingredients added. For the cheese course, we were escorted across the street to a new table, adjacent to a banquet table loaded with 20 cheeses and scores of other ingredients. The attentive service and a visit from Jan himself were additional touches that made the experience a joy.

  • 5/5 Arsène 2 years ago on Google
    It’s an amazing experience to dine here. I’m not professional enough to explain how much details they put in food so I decided to let pictures speak. The details are very well presented.

  • 5/5 Gary B. 5 years ago on Google
    Thanks for a fantastic evening with my wife. A must stop when you are in nice. Dont forget to reserve 24-48 hours before. I took the tuna and as starter gaspacho, my wife the steak. All perfect and Delicious. We come back. Gary & Jazz.

  • 5/5 Alex W. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great restaurant with a price tag to follow. The starters felt alittle too try hard, trying to push the boat a bit to much (although that may be an unrefined pallet) but the main course made up for it in every single way. The waiting staff are also super friendly and helpful to both French and English speakers.

  • 5/5 Felicity B. 6 years ago on Google
    The best dining experience I've ever had. The food was fabulous - a given, but the staff were something else. As a solo diner they took pity on me with great humour and were extra attentive. The maitre D promised this was the place to come if you have to be alone and she was not wrong. I've never felt so at ease and welcome. I never give google reviews but this place was too wonderful not to. Thanks for a superb evening.

    (Translated by Google) The Séjour is a nicely decorated place with a few tables outside and an inviting character. The gentleman who served us was extremely courteous, friendly and attentive. The food was incredibly tasty, beautifully presented and delivered quickly. In advance there were even 3 homemade amouse-bouche and a homemade biscuit with the bill. The menu is manageable but there is something for everyone! Price-performance extremely fair for the high quality of the food. The boss is also very personable and kept coming back. We will definitely eat there again! (Original) Das Séjour ist ein hübsch eingerichtetes Lokal mit ein paar Tischen draussen und einem einladenden Charakter. Der Herr, der uns bediente war äusserst zuvorkommend, freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war unglaublich lecker, schön angerichtet und wurde schnell gebracht. Vorab gabs sogar noch 3 hausgemachte amouse-bouche und mit der Rechnung ein selbstgemachtes Guetzli. Die Karte ist überschaubar aber es hat für jeden etwas dabei! Preis-Leistung äusserst fair für die hohe Qualität der Speisen. Auch die Chefin ist sehr sympathisch und kam immer wieder vorbei. Wir werden definitiv wiedermal da essen!

    We shared foie gras as entree, had lobster risotto and fish as main dish and soufflé as dessert. Everything tastes so great! Foie gras is creamy and flavorful; fish is flavorful. Lobster risotto is the most popular dish in the restaurant, and is the best lobster dish I have ever tasted. My favorite, however, is the soufflé.

The price was worth it. (Original) Semi-gastronomique de qualité. J'ai fortement apprécié les mesures prises lié au COVID-19 (plexiglas entre les tables) et surtout la qualité du repas.
