Café WU combines Chinese fine dining with wine passion

Café WU is a relatively new restaurant in Amsterdam that pairs Chinese gastronomy with a sophisticated wine list. It is not a standard Chinese restaurant, but a place where wine glass and dim sum coexist.

Café WU presents itself as Chinese bistronomy with European influences. The wine list is deliberately curated with small wine producers from France, Germany and Italy, often organic or natural. The logic: good wine can enrich rather than supplant the story of Chinese flavors.

The atmosphere is warm, contemporary and intimate. You notice that the team is invested in guest experience: light, music and attention to table arrangement come into play. You often hear speech about terroir of wine, origin of ingredients and combinations between sweet, umami and sour.

The menu is not traditional Chinese, but rather a creative translation: dim sum, small dishes, salty and sweet accents mixed with European flavors or techniques. The goal is not to fall into clichés, but to explore that boundary between East and West.

"At Café WU, wine experiences a voice - and Chinese cuisine shows nuance in every sip."

Guests are often lovers of both wine and food - people curious about crossovers, foodies who look beyond the well-known restaurants. Wine connoisseurs and gourmet audiences meet here.
