Michelin-star chef Sergio Herman and chef Nick Bril’s creative vision of a “fine dining meets rock \u2019n roll” themed restaurant was transformed into a reality by\u00a0Dutch design studio Piet Boon<\/strong>. The high-end, contemporary restaurant named The Jane
\n<\/strong>was brought into existence by revamping the interiors of a church of a\u00a0former military hospital in Antwerp, Belgium.<\/p>\n

Based on their belief in\u00a0authenticity, functionality and materials that \u2018age beautifully\u2019, Piet Boon decided to preserve most of the interior elements except for the utmost essential restoration required. The church’s high arched ceiling which also give a lavish feeling of a fine dining experience have been maintained to its original. The shared passion of the chefs and designers to work with luxurious materials is reflected in the interiors which makes use of\u00a0natural stone, leather and oak wood.<\/p>\n

The restaurant features a bar on the upper level called\u00a0The Upper Room Bar\u00a0seating upto 40 guests.\u00a0The kitchen\u00a0has been creatively planned at the position where once the altar used to be, and is enclosed within transparent glass walls enabling the visitors to view the cooking process.<\/p>\n
