Bistro-bar Blik in Amsterdam
We've seen it on social media (and yes, we've even taken a look at the menu), but now that Blik is officially open (since August 2025) on Reguliersdwarsstraat in Amsterdam, we simply have to go. In the former Lion Noir building (okay, not always, but sometimes) is chef Jacob Jan Boerma, yes, the man with three Michelin stars brought in from restaurant de Leest. On the menu at Blik? Classics you all know, but with a twist. twist what makes you happy.
You can just as easily pop in for a quick bite as for an evening of extensive dining. One of the nicest things we found was the incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and cheerful staff – hold on tight, team Blik! There's also a great wine list, delicious chicken (really delicious), and a vibe Which is also great for a good, hearty guys' night out. We enjoyed it.
Tip: also try the Gin & Tonic oysters, they are super delicious!
