Two Michelin-starred Jaan by Kirk Westaway serves a soul-warming autumn menu showcasing the season’s finest produce

Jaan has certainly come a long way from its early days as a nouvelle French restaurant once helmed by culinary luminaries Andre Chiang of now-defunct two-Michelin-starred Andre and Julien Royer of three-starred Odette. Today, it’s an upscale dining destination renamed Jaan by Kirk Westaway serving British-forward cuisine fronted by Westaway, who is responsible for earning the restaurant both its first and second Michelin stars in 2016 and 2021 respectively.

The 36-year-old Devon native began his journey at Jaan in 2011 as a sous chef and slowly ascended to become chef de cuisine in 2015 when Royer left to join Odette. Rather than uphold the restaurant’s legacy and retain its fine French menu, Westaway made the bold move to completely change it into something that hits closer to home by showcasing the best of modern English food, with signatures such as the Hens Egg, and Roast Leek and Potato Soup.
