    11

    Posted by lachlustre 16 January 2006

    On the top (11th) floor of the old PO building - a 60s tower block - 11 is a trendy restaurant and club. There’s not much choice with the food, but the two times I've been there, it was very good (other reviews I've read are more variable).

    It’s more or less the same story with the music: its trendiness is not always a guarantor of reliability, but what do you expect? I got a good dose of spiky 70s/80s-influenced dance music both times. It may be boring to you, but it is a welcome variety in a city obsessed with trance and DJs who advertise themselves as the "#3 DJ in the world".

    However, it's difficult for the food or music to compete with the visual: a panoramic view of Amsterdam (yes, you can be snarky about the fact that on the 11th floor you tower over everything in Amsterdam), combined with projections all around the room.

    It's a weird 5 minutes walk from Centraal Station - along the docks. If you pass the giant floating Chinese Restaurant, you're nearly there. The entrance is rather unprepossessing, around the back of the building in a carpark that, the last time I was there, was still a building site.
