Simple, tasty and fast: as far as I'm concerned, a toasted sandwich is the perfect snack for a tasty snack, and if you top it with a richer topping, it also works well for lunch. I was wondering where you can get the best sandwich in Rotterdam.

As an avid sandwich lover, I have set myself the goal of finding the best grilled cheese sandwich in Rotterdam. During my search I found these four places where you can enjoy a sandwich treat.

De Gele Kanarie Café

A household name in Rotterdam and famous for several reasons, but now also for its grilled cheese sandwiches. The combination of thick slices of toasted bread and the intense combination of blue cheese and fig jam take your sandwich experience to the next level. In addition, the 'hot chicken' sandwich with pulled chicken and jalapeño is also downright delicious. Absolutely recommended for gourmets!

Important tip: make sure you enter the right Gele Kanarie. Go to the café on Binnenrotte to avoid disappointment.

Bas Bakt

In addition to the delicious bread that Bas bakes for home, you can always sit down at the lunch table for a grilled cheese sandwich or a regular sandwich. Bas is a sourdough baker, so the bread is baked with a lot of love and, above all, a lot of time, and is therefore packed with flavour. Perfectly suitable for lovers of traditionally baked bread.

Bas's sandwiches shine in their simplicity, but in addition to the cheese or ham cheese sandwich, you can also go bold with the kimchi cheese sandwich. Nice if you are looking for something exciting. The perfect quick lunch when you are in the city centre.

Picobello Fresh

What exactly makes a sandwich a grilled cheese sandwich? A toasted sandwich with some melted cheese in between? Then an Italian panino is actually a grilled cheese as well, right? I know: for a sandwich with an Italian twist, go to Picobello Fresh. In their kiosk on the Binnenwegplein they prepare the tastiest panini for you with the best ingredients, straight from Italy. Andiamo!

No. 10 Coffee

If you are looking for the perfect combination of a good sandwich and excellent coffee, No. 10 Coffee is the right place. It is one of the many hip coffee shops in the Hoogstraat. On the inside it is just as raw as the city itself.

The smell of freshly baked bread (and sweet treats!) mixed with the aroma of freshly ground coffee greets you as soon as you step inside. You can also enjoy (specialty) coffee while you think about your grilled cheese snack.

And there is quite a bit to choose from: for those with a hearty appetite, there is a grilled cheese sandwich with brisket and sauerkraut, or my personal favourite, the BLT, which is also supplemented with chicken. In any case, they do not make choosing any easier. At no. 10 Coffee proves that a sandwich can be much more than a quick bite. Try it yourself!
