Cella Antwerp: Industrial-Chic French-Belgian Dining at Kattendijkdok

The Chef and the Kitchen

Chef Christophe De Koninckx leads the kitchen at Cella in Antwerp, crafting a French-Belgian menu with contemporary touches. Guests can choose seats at the Chef's Counter or the Kitchen View zone to watch the team prepare meals in the open kitchen. This setup highlights the refined international dishes served in a repurposed warehouse near the Kattendijkdok.

A Warehouse Transformed

The restaurant occupies a converted warehouse that balances industrial structure with an elegant interior. Large windows frame views of the Kattendijkdok waterway and the Antwerp skyline, particularly striking as the sun sets over the docks. For groups seeking privacy, Cella features a dedicated space with access to a private terrace, offering a unique outdoor dining option in the city.

Cocktails and Curated Wines

The bar lounge serves craft cocktails and carefully selected wines paired with the dining experience. Music curated by Stefan Vranckx sets a relaxed mood while guests enjoy the waterfront location. This polished approach to French-Belgian cooking earned the venue a Gault&Millau score of 12.5. Desserts and bar food remain available throughout the evening hours.
