Kirk Westaway
Chef Kirk Westaway joins the ranks of culinary talents to steer the kitchen at JAAN, the award-winning modern French restaurant recognised for handpicking and grooming global culinary stars. To mark his recent appointment as Chef de Cuisine, Chef Kirk presents a new collection of stellar creations that showcase nature’s finest.
 
These spectacular additions are culinary testaments to Chef Kirk’s commitment to presenting the natural characteristics of each ingredient at its prime, and his ability to strike an emotional chord with guests through his cuisine. While building on JAAN’s signature style of produce-driven modern
French cuisine, Chef Kirk’s creations are clearly underpinned by his own intimate understanding and appreciation of the subtle changes of the seasons and their impact on the produce he chooses to work with. His creations reference the familiar flavours of signature European dishes, while transforming them into new classics with distinct flavour profiles and defined peaks to deliver an exquisite fine dining experience. 


“My ultimate goal is to present guests with carefully considered and well-balanced creations which exemplify the harmonious interplay between the natural flavours of ingredients. I am excited to continue developing and sharing my passion for quality produce through this new chapter at JAAN,”
says Chef Kirk. “While I’ve introduced new creations and techniques, my focus remains on offering the quality artisanal dining experience that diners have come to associate with JAAN, and I look forward to taking the restaurant further with my team.”
