I am well aware that in Llafranc and the surrounding area, there are often 2 sittings, usually at 20:30 and 22:30. However I was not advised at the time of booking that there was any time restriction, and certainly would not have booked if I had known we would have just over an hour. Restaurant reservations for an hour and a half is an outrageous practice and one that Jani and the rest of the group’s restaurants would do well to revise. The manager of Jani is rude with very limited customer service ability. Being told to be quiet when I raised my complaint is really not acceptable. Needless to say we left without ordering. My best advice is to avoid this restaurant and instead try one of the many others in Llafranc and Calella. Incidentally, I’ve eaten there before and the food is no great shakes. It’s a pity as the location really is rather nice.

I have been there several times and food is most of the time good . However, the quality of the dishes served varies a lot according to the days.... But the biggest pain point of this restaurant is the service and its manager who will always welcome you with very poor enthusiasm and low energy except in the end when she will ask you if you wanna add a tip... She even finds interesting to mention out loud for every client if they add a tip or not to the bill... very disturbing and unpleasing !

A lot of creative dishes with quite authentic japanese tastes. Really enjoyed the unagi foie temaki, sukiyaki croquette, hotate foie, unagi yakimeshi, and ube panna cotta. Highly recommend the unagi foie temaki and the panna cotta! Service was quite fast, we were a bit worried given the other reviews (went on weekday dinner), tho we do think the wait staff are understaffed!
