This is a compact, takeaway-focused sandwich shop with friendly people and a loyal local following. Fresh bread and well-filled sandwiches are the main draw, while a history of very slow orders and mistakes—especially for groups—keeps it from being foolproof. Try: B.C.L.T.C. sandwich.
This cozy suburban pub-restaurant feels more like a friendly local hangout than a polished destination, with a pleasant patio and an easygoing atmosphere. The Dutch comfort food is generally tasty, especially the spare ribs and Limburg zuurvlees, though one detailed visit reported a serious service and execution lapse. Try: spare ribs.
This is a small, energetic pizza room where the open kitchen, wood-fired oven and rustic setting put the handmade pies center stage. The best dishes earn strong praise for dough, freshness and Italian character, though recent complaints point to uneven execution, delays and troubling cleanliness or illness reports. Try: spicy salami pizza.
This cozy spot near the station has a relaxed, colorful atmosphere, outdoor tables, and notably warm service.

This Dutch lunch spot has a friendly, inclusive concept, a pleasant setting, and plenty of praise for its coffee, cake, sandwiches, and prices. Service can be slow or uneven, while one detailed visit found a partially cold shrimp sandwich and another criticized value. Try: broodje garnalen.

Most reviewers find the Indo-Chinese food tasty, generously portioned, and nostalgically consistent, while a smaller but detailed set reports tough meat, cold satay, or disappointing specials. Try: babi pangang.
This is a calm, modern bistro near the station, with outdoor seating and a setting that works well for conversation. Recent diners describe carefully prepared dishes and thoughtful wine guidance, but older reports include cold or overcooked food and sharply unpleasant interactions. Try: Carpaccio.
