A South African chef who owns and runs his own restaurant in Nice, France, has been awarded a Michelin Star.<\/p>\n

Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, who is patron of Restaurant Jan<\/a> in Nice, received the star as part of French Michelin guide’s 2016 awards.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is one of 52 to receive a star for 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jan was voted as one of the best restaurants in the world by Conde Nast Traveller in 2015, which praised its “healthy modern cooking” inspired by van der Westhuizen’s grandmother.<\/p>\n

The chef offers his take on South African favourites, with a menu featuring mosbolletjies, biltong and other ingredients from his home country.<\/p>\n

A meal for two at the restaurants is estimated to cost around 80 pounds (R1,840).<\/p>\n
