Winning combinations.
It is not just the basis of our cuisine. It is also the secret behind the teamwork that drives c-jean.
It all began – how else – around a table. While having a good chat, two ‘products’ of the Hotel School Ter Duinen in Koksijde, Filip Van Thuyne and Jason Blanckaert realised that they ‘blended nicely’.
- Filip learned his style in the Apicius (Ghent) kitchen, under the legendary Willy Slawinski.
I want people to like being here. I want every guest to have a good time. To feel completely at ease. I am trying to create a restaurant that combines a starred cuisine with the relaxed and cosy atmosphere of a bistro.
— Filip Van Thuyne
- Jason cooked in Hof van Cleve (Kruishoutem) under Peter Goossens and was chef in Marcus (Deerlijk).
I want people to like eating here. That’s why I only work with top products. Preferably from local suppliers. People who love what they do, with products I believe in.
It is a pleasure to get to work with products like these. I deliberately combine them into balanced, light creations. Nor do I forget the balance between price and quality right. At c-jean we believe that delicious food should be affordable.— Jason Blanckaert
In c-jean Filip & Jason now do what they like doing best: providing people with delicious food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere. Book a table and discover why their enthusiasm was rewarded with a Michelin star in 2008.
