Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Yanick Wawrzyniak, formerly the owner of the Jadis restaurant in Leuze, Belgium, has moved to Gran Canaria, Spain, and begun a career in real estate and rental management.
After 15 years running the Jadis, Yanick decided to leave the restaurant in the hands of Keren Bailleux and Christopher Michez.
He felt it was time to step away and listen to his body, particularly after bringing the previously closed establishment back to life with support from the Haacht brewery and his parents. Yanick and his partner, Jimmy, now invest in apartments and offer short-term rentals under the name Playa Collection Gran Canaria. They provide services like airport transfers and property maintenance for vacationers.
Although he left Belgium quietly to avoid emotional farewells, Yanick expressed gratitude to the Jadis’s loyal customers and staff, noting the relationships he built went beyond simply being a restaurateur. He felt proud of transforming the Jadis from a simple tavern into a restaurant with a reception hall.
