"Janse & Co Night Out"

10.0 Cuisine 10 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

Excellent experience!
From the start we received friendly, professional service from the very well trained waiters. The atmosphere and ambiance was relaxing and welcoming, especially with the fireplace heating the restaurant on a cold winter evening. The food was exceptional, a true reflection of chef Arno's passion!

Well done team Janse & Co!

"Top dessert"

8.7 Cuisine 8 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 8

We had a really great experience at Janse and Co. The service was excellent. The 4 courses all looked amazing and incredibly plated. The welcome bread 'platter' was delicious. I had the chacuterie, line fish and beef dishes followed by the passionfruit sorbet for dessert. The best course was definitely the dessert, followed by the line fish (cob). all in all a great experience.

"Delightful lunch"

8.7 Cuisine 8 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 8

I love the decor of the restaurant and the table settings are top class. The food was delicious and flavorful. The only dish I really didn’t enjoy eating was the octopus which was quite rubbery. All the flavors were great though. Can highly recommend visiting. Will definitely visit again.

"Something different!"

6.7 Cuisine 8 | Service 7 | Atmosphere 5

Something different for certain, from the interior, to the menu, the dishes and flavors all beautifully blended together to create something unique. A small note of critique, the menu is tricky to work out as its not clear where the dish starts and ends. However, let that not distract you too much as all are delicious. If you are feeling adventurous this is the place to visit.

About Janse & Co

Arno Janse van Rensburg, currently the chef at top 10 restaurant The Kitchen at Maison, is set to leave his post at the Franschhoek establishment after six years at the helm. Next on the menu: a brand new restaurant and location.

At the end of this month, Arno will make the move to the Cape Town city bowl to start working on his own new restaurant concept, Janse & Co., which is set to open at 75 Kloof Street in December.

Taking over the space that briefly housed YUZU Kitchen & Bar, Janse & Co. will offer a menu inspired by wild and foraged ingredients, with produce sourced from the Western Cape’s farmlands, oceans and mountains. Arno will head up this new venture with partner and pastry chef, Liezl Odendaal, who has had previous experience with the likes of Franck Dangereux, Luke Dale-Roberts, Mike Bassett, and Richard Carstens.

The duo describes the new restaurant’s approach as relaxed and healthy fine dining. Seasonality will play a big role, with a fresh offering inspired and driven by the ever-changing Cape climate. While the menu and its specifics are still in the works, diners can anticipate classical dishes made with creative new techniques and local ingredients. The lunch and dinner offering will be in the form of choose-your-own tasting menus with two- to seven-course options.

Sunday brunches will also be on the cards for the new space.

As for the drinks, the bar will focus mainly on locally produced wines, spirits and beers, with a few signature cocktails making use of the same local and seasonal approach.

Janse & Co. is set to start construction at the end of October with the opening date in December, if all goes according to plan.
