BlinQ is one of the latest additions to Amsterdam's long list of trendy restaurants that also double as clubs and cocktail bars in the evening. Despite its stylish aspirations it's actually a nice spot to have an affordable lunch or an intimate dinner in the evening. The terrace is also a big plus but the cranky staff seem to have more important things to do than to attend to their patrons so you might have to wait a while to get a drink. At the weekend you'll have to queue up outside and pass BlinQ's face control.
