5 great spots for takeaway sandwiches
When the sun is finally out, you’ll want to make the most of it. So, why not pick up a really good sandwich and head outside? Find a quiet spot along the Oudegracht or the Singel canal and soak up the sunshine while you eat. Prefer to keep moving? Take a stroll through town and turn your lunch into an active picnic.
Bigoli Utrecht
Bigoli
For seriously good Italian sandwiches (and equally good Italian coffee), this small deli is the place to go. Bigoli is known for its fresh ingredients and made-to-order sandwiches. Tailor yours exactly to your taste, from the choice of bread to your favourite fillings. Each sandwich is generously packed with high-quality Italian produce: classic to slightly more unexpected flavour combinations.
Broodje Mario
A Utrecht classic—Broodje Mario. This iconic sandwich bar was founded in 1977 by Mario Nistro from Italy. It’s almost impossible to visit Utrecht without stopping by to try one of their sandwiches. The signature Broodje Mario is served on a large Italian bread roll—filled with cheese, salami, crunchy salad and a whole green pepper. There’s a reason it’s Utrecht’s favourite.
Bakkerij Kameel
Bakkerij Kameel on the Oudegracht is known for its excellent sourdough bread, pastries and their signature ‘kameelbollen’. If you have a soft spot for sweet treats, this bakery is the place to go. The kameelbollen are definitely worth a try!
Nonna Rosa
Nonna Rosa
Nonna Rosa on the Oudegracht is another Italian gem. It’s in a prime spot and renowned for its big, generously filled baguettes. Perfect for taking down to the water and enjoying in the sun.
Ombretta Utrecht
Ombretta is an Italian deli stocked with a wide range of authentic Italian products—from wines and cheeses to cured meats and freshly made sandwiches. The ideal place to get takeaway treats and drinks to savour during a sunny day.
