Broodje Bert

Medieval Centre & Red Light District


Join the locals sitting on wooden chairs in the sun (or at the window seats inside) at this fabulous little sandwich shop in a winning canal-side location. In addition to huge sandwiches, such as marinated grilled chicken or the eponymous house special 'Broodje Bert' (lamb meatballs on Turkish bread), there are burgers and omelettes made to order. Cash only.
