Cella Restaurant & Bar opens as an urban-chic box-in-box warehouse in vibrant city district in Antwerp (Belgium), known for its collection of hip hotspots along the city's docks.  

At the instigation of the interior designers Grain Design Office and architect Raf De Backer, the warehouse has been stripped and transformed into an urban-chic restaurant and bar over the past few months. Only the carcass of the warehouse remained, into which the restaurant was then slid like a box-in-box. Thanks to Grain Grain Design Office, the beams of the warehouse find their visual echo in the concrete arches that introduce much-needed intimacy into the space.

With its stylised, industrial character and special eye-catchers such as a sculptural DJ booth, the new restaurant clearly bears the stamp of its creators. The young, vibrant city district along the water has been an epicentre for some years now for all those who love trendy dining and nightlife. 

Led by chef Christophe De Koninckx, Cella serves refined, international cuisine, while the bar serves customised food and drinks until late in the evening. Every table guest at Cella has a view of the water and the famous landmarks of Antwerp.
