The story
In a repurposed warehouse near the Kattendijkdok in Antwerp, Cella serves refined international cuisine within an elegant, industrial-chic setting. The restaurant offers intimate atmosphere and striking views of the dock and the Antwerp skyline. This combination of setting and culinary ambition has earned Cella a Michelin recommendation, a recognition of the quality and consistency of its kitchen.
The restaurant's open kitchen is a focal point, allowing guests to watch the team prepare their meals. Whether seated in the main dining room, at the Kitchen View table for two, or at the Chef's Counter beside the action, the experience is designed to be exceptional. The space is characterized by a warm, intimate feel, with the visual drama of the working kitchen and the ever-changing light over the water.
Adjacent to the restaurant, the bar and lounge offers expertly crafted cocktails and a carefully selected wine list. Guests can relax on lounge furniture while overlooking the dock, with the evening's soundtrack curated by Stefan Vranckx. For larger groups, Cella's Private Dining room accommodates 8 to 24 guests and features the unique advantage of a private terrace overlooking the dock—a rare find in Antwerp. The space can be divided with sliding panels to host two separate parties of 8 to 14 guests each.
