NOTK Wine Restaurant & Bar

NOTK Wine Restaurant & Bar is located at Delistraat 20 on Deliplein, in Katendrecht in Rotterdam-Zuid. The establishment is publicly documented as a wine restaurant and wine bar, not primarily as a coffee bar. This is important for interpreting the available information. For coffee enthusiasts, it is mainly evident how coffee exists on the periphery of a wine and restaurant concept.

The founders of NOTK are Lukas Wiegman and Thomas Traa. Both have experience in the wine sector and hospitality, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Wiegman attended the Hogere Hotelschool Den Haag and worked at, among others, Domaine Lise et Bertrand, FG Restaurant, FG Food Labs, De Toren in Stellenbosch, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, and Attica. Traa worked at, among others, Le Mariage in Delft, FG Food Labs, FG Restaurant, and HMB in Rotterdam. He also visited European wine producers.

NOTK opened in February 2023 within the Supernova Hotel on the ’s-Gravendijkwal. After just over a year, they moved to a standalone location at Deliplein, with the opening announced on May 10, 2024. This transition shifted NOTK from a hotel setting to its own dedicated restaurant environment in Katendrecht.

The concept centers around wine and food. The restaurant page features a sommelier’s menu, à-la-carte dishes, and bites alongside the wine list. In the sommelier’s menu, the wines are selected first, and dishes are then crafted to complement those specific wines. The sequence is therefore wine-to-dish, rather than dish-to-wine, giving the restaurant a distinct wine-led profile.

There is no public documentation available regarding the current coffee preparation at the Deliplein location. Available data mentions no current coffee drinks, beans, brewing methods, or equipment. For an article on specialty coffee, this means there is no concrete basis to describe NOTK as a coffee bar.

However, a current 2025 menu list includes the name “Wilderland – Man Met Bril” within a list of suppliers or partners. That same menu list does not link Man Met Bril to specific coffee drinks, beans, or brewing methods. The source therefore only shows that the name appears, not what role this party plays within the coffee offering.

An older menu from 2023, dating back to the Supernova Hotel period, provided more detail regarding coffee. Giraffe Coffee Roasters was listed under the “Coffee” heading. The menu listed espresso, double espresso, espresso macchiato, lungo, cappuccino, latte, flat white, iced latte, and oat milk. An Espresso Martini was also on the menu, featuring vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup.

Current documentation places NOTK primarily within the wine sector. The online wine shop lists producer categories such as Bendito Destino, Bodega del Monge-Garbati, Cascina del Monastero, Champagne Douge, Domaine Arnaud Baillot, Domaine Grivot-Goisot, Domaine Neumeyer, Weingut Hermann Ludes, and Weingut Hirsch. External profiles also describe the establishment as a wine restaurant or wine bar.

The kitchen focuses on seasonal products. The menu text mentions that NOTK works locally whenever possible, partnering with producers and sources they know and trust. It also states that local, sustainable, and responsibly produced products form the basis of the dishes. Mentioned partners include Het Kaasatelier, Landzicht, The Good Spice, Slaege, Veld4, Hoeve Biesland, Tai’m Vissaus, Into Fish, Choro Koji, Casa Reinders, ’t Wildhuys, Wilderland, and Man Met Bril.

There are no public sustainability certificates or independent audit claims documented. Therefore, the assessment remains limited to what is mentioned in the own menu information and external profiles. The available text points to an attention for local and seasonal sourcing, but provides no verifiable certification.

NOTK’s events page mentions three categories: Deep Dives, Theme Sundays, and NOTK BYO’s. The Deep Dives are wine-focused gatherings on Saturdays. For 2025, Champagne on July 26, 5 Decades of Bordeaux on August 23, and Côte de Nuits on September 20 were mentioned. The Theme Sundays include BBQ Sunday, Fruits de Mer Sunday, and Snackin’ Sunday.

Alongside restaurant activities, NOTK offers services for the hospitality industry. The services page mentions wine cellar consultancy and training or masterclasses for hospitality businesses. This also aligns with the establishment’s wine profile. No documentation for coffee-focused training or coffee events was included in the available material.

NOTK has received local and sector-specific attention. The opening at Deliplein was described in 2024 within Rotterdam’s hospitality news. Dutch Wine Apprentice published an article titled “Food follows Wine at NOTK Restaurant” and noted the move from Supernova Hotel to Deliplein.

Star Wine List has a location page for NOTK and lists the address as Delistraat 20. The establishment is also featured in the 2026 Rotterdam guide for wine restaurants and wine bars. Additionally, NOTK was mentioned for “Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Belgium & Netherlands, presented by Arínzano 2025”. Coravin Guide lists NOTK with a Two Glass Rating, described as having more than forty wines by the glass. Gault&Millau also lists the establishment at the Deliplein address. Co-founder Lukas Wiegman won the Trophée Henriot in 2024, the Dutch championship for sommeliers. This is a personal recognition for Wiegman, not a separate location award.

For coffee enthusiasts, the available information provides context rather than a full coffee profile. Historically, there was a coffee menu featuring Giraffe Coffee Roasters during the Supernova period. For the current Deliplein location, public data regarding coffee beans, drinks, and brewing methods are missing. NOTK can therefore be most accurately described as a wine restaurant and wine bar where coffee is only minimally present in the documentation.
