I went for the lunch menu and totally loved being able to watch all the food be made, made me very excited to eat it seeing all the care that went into each individual dish. Everything was exceptionally fresh. All of the staff was very friendly and very attentive, we never went without water or bread and had opportunities to ask questions, we were treated very well (we were wearing very casual street clothes as it was quite hot in Antwerp at the time) and exactly like everyone else (they were some pretty fancy people there :D). We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the chefs who you could tell very much loved their work. I would totally visit again!

If you read my other reviews, you know that I like to dwell and write long reviews but for The Jane I can be short and sweet: GEWELDIG MAGNIFIQUE THE BEST FOODIE EXPERIENCE EVER!! I've been to the Upper Room Bar and the actual restaurant when I was living in Belgium and this it the total experience: from the awesome atmosphere to the great service over the amazing soap (Aesop) they provide you in the bathroom. And yes, it was consistently at that level! Oh, I almost forgot, the food is TO DIE FOR, it is a real treat! A must visit for every food lover in the universe.

It's hard to see someone cook something and not be able to taste it in the demos. Well I finally got to try the cooking. The dinner went as follows: -Squid. Black Sesame, Soy, Lime -"Grains and Seeds" -Celery Root, Lemon, Wood Sorrel -Scallop, Potato, Sweet and Sour Mustard -"Ocean and Land" -Milk Mousse, Mandarin, Endive -"Olive" Food was fantastic all around. Their cooking is reminiscent of a wave of chefs like Christian Puglisi of Relae and Inazki Aizpitarte of Chateaubriand. Very few, simple ingredients but very complex flavor profile combinations. Just beautiful amazing cooking. After chatting extensively with Daan the Front Of the House representative during the dinner and then getting to hang with him, Koen and Davy during the Omnivore conference, Im convinced that I need a revisit to their cuisine and experience at Veranda. Daan, Koen. Davy, we look forward to seeing you in Antwerp.
