There’s nothing quite like coming home, especially when you bring a little French mischief in your suitcase. After a successful year of charm, cheese and cheeky joie de vivre on the Riviera, the spirit of Le Bistrot de JAN is stretching its wings and opening a brand-new location in Cape Town, Because home isn’t just a place. It’s a flavour. It’s a feeling.
CHEF JAN HENDRIK VAN DER WESTHUIZEN
Le Bistrot de JAN is more than just a restaurant, it’s a joyful celebration of indulgence, nostalgia, and South African-French flair. A tribute to the beloved bistro culture of France, it’s now reimagined with the spirit of the Mother City, located in the iconic V&A Waterfront’s InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town. As a younger sibling to the other JAN establishments, Le Bistrot de JAN is not just about what’s on the plate, it’s about losing yourself in a moment. Whether you’re slipping in for a solo daytime lunch with a naughty martini or soaking up the warm glow of early evening while a live jazz singer fills the room, it invites you to unwind, connect, and savour every beautiful, unpretentious moment.
Le Bistrot de JAN operates with a smaller menu and a la carte offerings, providing a relaxed environment where guests can enjoy consistent and delightful meals without the formality of traditional tasting menus.
