With 35 wines by the glass from Spain, Portugal, France, and Luxembourg, there’s something for every wine lover. At Vinostra, you can enjoy a regular glass (14 cl), a bottle, a tasting glass (7 cl), or a carafe (37.5 cl) – perfect for discovering new pairings with every oyster or dish.
Vigo Family
It all started in 2015 when Hans and his sons Cor and Jonathan opened a restaurant next to their fish specialty shop in Gentsestraat. Thanks to their extensive experience, the time between catch and kitchen is incredibly short. Being their own supplier, the family ensures that fish caught in the morning is served that very evening. The Vigo Family also includes The Old Jazz, Vigo Seafoodbar, Wine & Seafoodbar AREIA, and Bistro Lemongrass.
