Jaan by Kirk Westaway

We had an OK experience at Jaan - there was a good incorporation of British food in the menu but we just felt like the protein sizes were underwhelming. Expect to get two slices of scallops and one mouth of beef as protein for the night. Bread (the sourdough rye) wasn’t the best. Service staff were mostly okay and some were hard to understand. The view from SKAI restaurant a floor down was much more spectacular than from Jaan itself for some strange reason - not sure if it was because of the lighting of the redecorate itself It was nice to see the chef leading the restaurant coming around to tables towards the end of the meal to check on all guests.

By far, one of the best restaurants in Asia and perhaps the world. Chef Westaway’s tasting menu is filled with delightful surprises. Every course is prepared to an infinite level of detail in taste and presentation. The ambience is intimate, casual and relaxing. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming, and special thanks to our hostess, Elaine and Joseph, Restaurant Manager for making our anniversary so memorable!

Jaan delivers a technically precise, visually stunning exploration of modern British gastronomy but the human element fails to fully match the heights of the kitchen. While the plates tell a deeply personal story of the British countryside, the front-of-house experience remains inconsistent. The Menu Highlights The multi-course degustation menu shines brightest when Chef Kirk Westaway draws directly from his roots in Devon, England, successfully reframing British culinary tropes into luxurious, contemporary masterpieces. Hen's Egg: A theatrical & decadent standout. The rich, golden egg yolk pairs beautifully with salty bursts of caviar, grounded by the earthy complexity of wild nettles sourced directly from the Chef’s hometown. Charred Leek and Potato Soup: A masterclass in comforting yet elevated flavours. This dish coaxes incredible depth & smoky complexity out of humble ingredients. King Crab: An adventurous & memorable pairing. The sweet, pristine crab meat is served alongside an innovative savoury ice cream churned from rich Devon cream, offering a brilliant contrast in both temperature & texture. Kagoshima Wagyu: The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender, showcasing pristine marbling & a perfect sear that honors the premium ingredient. Wine Pairing: We opted for the wine pairing but found the selections & pairings to be fairly average & unmemorable for this price point. Celebration Amenity: Birthday celebrations are elevated with a beautiful, shiny, dome-shaped cake dessert that adds a touch of visual spectacle to the end of the meal. For a restaurant holding prestigious Michelin accolades, the service structure requires refinement. The table service often feels overly prescriptive rather than naturally polished. Genuine engagement with guests is lacking, making the interaction feel clinical instead of welcoming in a space designed for celebration. There are highlights of genuine care. Our lead waitress provides attentive service & the Executive Chef personally comes out to walk around the dining room to engage with guests. Unfortunately, the supporting front-of-house team remains spotty, creating an inconsistent flow to the evening. Go for the breathtaking views & inventive culinary execution.

Another great dining venue checked ✅ Excellent service and charming ambience! Of coz not forgetting their effort to introduce the ingredients and courses. The two main courses, red mullet and Wagyu, blew my mind! Red mullet’s skin was crispy and savory, meat was tender and fresh! Wagyu meat was juicy and had a unique blend of taste. Also appreciate Head Chef Ng Guolun interacting with us after our meal which completed our experience ☺️

Did he invent the wheel on Michelin star tasting menu no! Is it good food yes? Is it unbelievably amazing no!! It felt like the Resturant story forced on the menu a day or two before they opened, they freaked out and said we need a story let’s brainstorm of the Chef is from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 let’s create a story around that and make him a victim somehow 😅 JK it’s just felt like the story has been embellished and exaggerated . Atmosphere was good stunning room amazing view. Service was impeccable.

I visited JAAN by Kirk Westaway for lunch in June, and it was a memorable fine dining experiences I’ve had in Singapore recently. The dining room feels elegant yet incredibly calming. The soft colour palette and overall ambience immediately put you at ease, creating the perfect setting to fully immerse yourself in the culinary journey. From the amuse-bouches to the dessert service, every course resonated with my palate. The presentation was refined without feeling overcomplicated, and each dish delivered clean, balanced flavours. I was particularly impressed by how thoughtfully caviar was incorporated into one of the amuse-bouches and one more dish. Considering the lunch price, it offered exceptional value. The service was equally outstanding. Chef Kirk Westaway himself was warm and genuinely interested in understanding his guests’ preferences. Everything flowed seamlessly throughout the meal, creating an experience that felt polished yet never overly formal. JAAN is, without question, one of my favourite restaurants in Singapore, and I look forward to returning again.

JAAN is honestly on a whole different level when it comes to fine dining. The food, the ambience, and the overall experience are absolutely elite. If you're heading there for dinner, you're in for a real treat—the panoramic view of the city is breathtaking, especially when you get to witness the transition from daylight to sunset and eventually the sparkling city lights at night. It's like getting three different views in one evening, and the vibe just keeps getting better as the night goes on. The food is equally impressive. Every dish arrives looking like a masterpiece straight out of an art gallery—beautifully plated, attention to every tiny detail, and almost too pretty to eat. But the best part? The flavours back it all up. It's not just style over substance; every bite is thoughtfully crafted and packed with incredible taste. The service is polished yet warm, making the entire experience feel special from start to finish. Combined with the elegant atmosphere and stunning skyline backdrop, JAAN creates one of those rare dining experiences that feels both luxurious and memorable. If you're planning a date night, this place is basically a cheat code. The combination of world-class food, jaw-dropping views, and romantic ambience makes it a guaranteed winner. Whether it's a special occasion or you're simply trying to make an impression, JAAN absolutely delivers. Safe to say, you'll be scoring major points and creating a night that's hard to forget.

Celebrated my wife's birthday at JAAN, and the experience was exceptional from the first welcome to the final course. The menu was thoughtful and beautifully paced. The appetisers were a genuine surprise and the highlight of an already accomplished meal. Each dish was introduced with care, context without interrupting the experience. Isaac, Joseph, Bella, Fiona and Bruno were outstanding: warm, attentive and engaging throughout. They never rushed a course, and even took the time to help us capture the right moments. Meeting Chef Kirk was another lovely touch. He was generous with his time, genuinely warm in conversation, and signed our dated menu as a keepsake. JAAN delivers something memorable well beyond the food. Highly recommended for a special milestone or celebration.
