French-inspired dining and an international wine selection in an intimate restaurant on Concordiastraat in Willemstad.
Some evenings deserve a little more time at the table. At The Wine Cellar in Willemstad, French cooking, wine and an intimate dining room set the scene for a leisurely meal.
The Wine Cellar has a distinctly classic character. Paintings decorate the dining room, and the kitchen builds on French traditions with international and Caribbean influences. It is a restaurant to keep in mind when choosing somewhere for an anniversary, a dinner for two or a meal with friends who enjoy wine.
The menu brings together meat, fish and seafood, alongside vegetarian choices. French sauces and familiar preparations help define the cooking. The wine list reaches beyond France, with selections from European and New World wine regions. If choosing a bottle feels daunting, ask for a recommendation that suits both your dishes and your budget.
Wine has been part of the restaurant’s identity from its early days, when French wines and accompanying dishes helped establish its character. That connection between food and wine still explains the name better than any assumption that this is simply a wine bar.
You will find The Wine Cellar on Concordiastraat, opposite Pietermaai Cathedral. For a day built around the city, explore Willemstad first and leave the evening free for dinner.
