Jan's On The Beach
Jan’s on the Beach is White Rock's newest restaurant - fully renovated - with a new ocean view deck at a great location "on the strip".
We offer a West Coast menu inspired by the multicultural flavours of the Vancouver area, along with a full appetizer menu. All our dishes are made to order from scratch with fresh local ingredients.
We offer daily specials, and on occasion we'll put on wine pairing dinners for you to enjoy.
We also are open for Breakfast and Lunch, and have a Beach Favourites Menu with dishes such as "Fish Bites & Fries" and a tasty Calamari bowl.
Top it off with homemade desserts such as White Chocolate and Blueberry Creme Brule, or Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Grand Marnier Strawberries.
We hope to become your favourite place to enjoy a great dining experience with one of the best views on White Rock's Marine Drive!

"We arrived to a table right beside/on the duo music group. After asking to sit outside we did manage to get a table after someone left.. Appetizers didn't come until we reminded waitress of the order, about an hour wait for that. Tried to order 2 different appetizers that were 'sold out'. Dinner came after 2 hours and they were terrible. Tiny portions of chicken, steak and prawn dinner was not good. The appetizers my friend and I were sharing were awful. And that was after settling for things we didn't want. We will not return and will tell people to stay away. Ruined a birthday celebration."

"Jan's was overall a fine place to dine. Outside seating with a good heater made the experience perfect for a late spring dinner.It is a good thing we were not in a hurry though, because the service was painfully slow. This restaurant needs more staff in the kitchen as well as wait staff. The chef (Jan?) apologized to me saying they got slammed. Understandable except only half the tables were occupied!The food was very good. Served hot and well presented.If Jan's can solve the staffing issues they will behave a restaurant that fits the White Rock Beach dining scene as an equal to any restaurant there."

"The food was good. The other reviews said that the lamb was "fall off the bone" so I tried it but found it a bit dry and burnt on some sides. My wife's steak and lobster looked like steak and large shrimp. The chocolate fondue was not to my expectation, presentation wise. Was just a bowl of hot chocolate with large chunks of bread and fruit. Kitchen concept was a great idea so the chef could interact with the guests however, that also served as a downfall to my impression because it was valentines day, the restaurant was full...and we found out that the chef was alone. Our dinner took 1 hour to arrive. They should have served bread while people wait. I spent a fair bit of money on that dinner so I was expecting a bit more."

"I guess the day after Valentine's is pretty quiet. I know that Jan's does a much better business than they did on Feb 15th, but unfortunately Valentine's Day was out for us. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. Great place."
