Why choose Blink Restaurant & Bar for lunch or dinner?

There are lots of dining options for lunch or dinner on Stephen Avenue downtown.  Many locations are well established, some have come and gone quickly and others have reinvented themselves. Blink Restaurant & Bar falls in the last group it started as a "supper club",  a concept that has not really taken off in Calgary.  What is a supper club? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supper_club

In any case, in its current incarnation Blink Restaurant and Bar www.blinkcalgary.com is a contemporary space with a lounge feel. The operations team is the chef (Andrew Richardson) and his partner.  The food is terrific - Nutmeg has visited on several occasions and not been disappointed. Current menu favorites:  buffalo mozzarella, beet and orange salad, tuna takaki, scallops, with squash and pumpkin seeds, Alaskan black cod etc..

So the girls are out last night; Nutmeg, Cilantro and a couple others (who have yet to declare their identities) are having a great time, sharing multiple starters.  Then along comes lovely Mint with some hilarious stories of the office Christmas party - and orders the fries!!  Well, Nutmeg would not typically consider fries one of her staple food groups. However, these fries ROCK! The girls decided it was the right combo of oil, real potatoes and salt. Divino serves fries right next door but they do not compare to the ones at Blink.

So the ladies give Blink Restaurant and Bar a two thumbs up rating. Check it out for yourself!
