Blin Queen
Specialty pancakes, serious coffee and all the bubbles
What we do
Blin Queen is an all-day concept with a focus on sweet & savory pancakes, artisan ciders and specialty coffee during the day. It turns into a cozy wine bar with a small dinner menu after 18.00. Blending Eastern European traditions and Western European gastronomy. Kids and animals friendly.
Blin Queen is Amsterdam’s Eastern European pancake house. Our bliny are 40 cm thin pancakes, folded into squares and filled with anything from chicken, pear and truffle oil to gravlax and red caviar; every recipe comes on classic wheat or gluten-free buckwheat. Alongside them: borsch with slow-cooked beef, potato pancakes (draniky), oven-baked cottage cheese pancakes (syrniki) and fluffy kefir oladky, plus specialty coffee, sea buckthorn tea and natural wines after six.
Our dancing house
In 2021 we, Sergey and Dasha Kavalenka, opened Blin Queen in an unusual house on the Amstel. Since then our family has grown to five, and the café has become a second home for many of our guests. You have probably noticed that our little house leans a bit, as if it were dancing. It is more than 300 years old, but its renovation gave it strong modern supports, so it will stand for many, many more years. We hope our café will too. Thank you for being with us!
