1. Guliano
We – and basically everyone we know – love Guliano’s sandwiches. This lunch restaurant is a mix of Italian and New York flavors and on the menu you will find sandwiches such as Ed’s Pastrami, Bistecca, Vitello Tonnato, Gallo, the GULIANO’s Truffle burger and much more.
Although a lot of meat and cheese is used, there are also very tasty options for vegans and vegetarians.
The truffle mayonnaise is certainly something you don’t want to miss when visiting Guliano; it’s something many people come back for.

Endless options at Baker & Moore, because here you can put together your own sandwich. Of course you can also opt for a sandwich that’s already on the menu, such as the tastiest sandwich in the Netherlands, as Baker & Moore has won an award for “The best lunchroom sandwich in the Netherlands 2018” with the Mr. Baker Goes Asia sandwich.
