Here they are: the 7 most hyped sandwiches in Amsterdam
After decades of low-carb trends ruling the day, sandwiches are (hopefully forever) back in fashion. And that’s excellent news because Amsterdam is now packed with amazing sandwich spots. Skipping a sandwich at one of the many delicatessens and bakeries almost feels like a crime. But which are genuinely the most hyped sandwiches in Amsterdam? You’ll find them below.
Chun
Chun now boasts not one but two locations: one on the 9 Streets and another on Spuistraat. Chun first gained popularity thanks to the matcha hype, but later, their Korean sandwiches drew the crowds. The bulgogi sandwich is especially popular.

Rolling Sushi
In Amsterdam Zuid, you can’t miss the enormous queues: the sushi sandwich at Rolling Sushi remains a massive hit. The crispy ‘bread’ (made from rice) is the secret to its success and pairs wonderfully with the fresh toppings.

Leauf
Leauf is still relatively new, but it quickly made a name for itself. This is largely thanks to their ‘Leauf du Chef‘, which was originally meant to be a temporary menu item. The sandwich, topped with grilled chicken, kimchi, and okonomiyaki, became such a hit that people now queue up for it.

Salvo Bakehouse
At Salvo Bakehouse, you must be prepared to wait as one particular sandwich draws crowds. Baker Salvatore Lioniello keeps delivering hits, and while the carbonara croissant is a standout, those with a sweet tooth will gravitate towards the pistachio variant.

BunBun
BunBun claims to be the smallest bakery in the Netherlands. But even in a small space, they get creative with croissant dough, to be exact. They offer various flavours, but the cheesecake bun is their most popular item.

Fort Negen
Fort Negen has been hugely successful, so the bakery expanded last year by opening a sandwich shop just a few doors down. Their aubergine schnitzel sandwich quickly became a bestseller—and with good reason. The tastiest bread in Amsterdam topped with crispy aubergine? That’s a match made in heaven.
