Mr Dam Banh Mi | The Vietnamese-French street sandwich

Oude Kijk in Het Jatstraat 22A / Astraat 20 / Nieuwe Ebbingestraat 2 - Mr Dam Banh Mi is a household name in Groningen. Banh mi means 'baguette' in Vietnamese and is the classic Vietnamese-French street bread: a crusty baguette filled with meat(s), pickled vegetables, chilli peppers, a bit of coriander and a layer of mayonnaise that brings together French, Vietnamese and Chinese flavours. The choice of filling is: chicken, grilled steak, shrimp, tuna, beef burger, veg or vegetable. You taste the flavours of Vietnam, just here in Groningen.

Broodje Oetchie | Started in a shed

Nieuwe Ebbingestraat 42-1 - Raoel's sandwiches were such a success that he traded the storeroom of his terraced house for his own sandwich shop in the Ebbingestraat. What started as a quirky idea, selling sandwiches from your shed, grew into Broodje Oetchie. Here you order Surinamese puns such as ketjap chicken thigh, bakkeljauw and tempeh, made from their own dough and 100 per cent halal meat. Raoel sources ingredients locally as much as possible, from chicken from the Turkish butcher to flour from the mill, with a regular round at the Vismarkt on Saturdays. Some flavours come straight from Suriname, and you can taste exactly that in his craft.

Vandeeg Today | Just to refuel

Turfsingel 4 - The former Dudok petrol station on Turfsingel, this summer's hotspot, offers sourdough bread, coffee and all sorts of goodies. The sourdough focaccia is a staff favourite. Sweet breads, cakes and pies are baked in the basement of Riemer Bookstore for Koffiestation, among others. The bread is freshly baked in this iconic building, where they use as many local ingredients as possible, such as organic flour from Landgoud. At Vandeeg Vandaag, you can enjoy your fresh bread at leisure on the waterfront deck.

Il Gusto | Italian classics

Oude Kijk in 't Jatstraat 3 - For Italian classics, we definitely recommend checking out Il Gusto. You can go here for delicious Italian sandwiches. Go for classics like a carpaccio sandwich with truffle mayonnaise or a caprese sandwich (you know, the delicious one with mozzarella, tomato, green pesto and rocket). Or sample the flavours of a porchetta sandwich with roasted pork belly, red pesto, red onion, rocket and parmesan. With the Italian flag on the façade, you'll find this adorable premises in no time.

Panzo | Authentic Schiacciata

Steentilstraat 33 - They also bring Italy to Groningen at Panzo! Here you get authentic, freshly filled Schiacciata sandwiches. This traditional Italian bread from Florence undergoes a preparation process of no less than 30 hours, ensuring a unique taste and texture. Filled with daily fresh ingredients from Italy, you will enjoy a perfect balance between a crispy crust and airy interior. For example, try a Vitello Tonnato, Capocollo or Mortadella sandwich.

Saray | A you to neighbour!

Boterdiep 51 - For years, Stadjers have been coming to Turkish supermarket Nazar, where they can get cheap meat and food from Turkey, the Balkans and Arab countries. At neighbour and sandwich shop Saray you can get fantastic sandwiches, made with ingredients from the same supermarket. The white buns are topped with, for example, grill sausage, chicken piri piri, omelette, chicken curry, köfte or brie. Whether you go for a simit (the classic Turkish sesame roll) or an Arabic roll, it's all possible here.

Basarz | delicacies and sandwiches

Vismarkt 34 - The deli Basarz is indestructible, as they are finally open again after a hefty fire in the summer of 2024. About 40 years ago, they brought the first olives to Groningen. Now, in addition to delicacies like olives, wines, meats and cheese, they also make the tastiest sandwiches for you here. With countless options. On Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, they also serve them at the market.

Nice Food House | Fresh from the butcher

Nieuwe Ebbingestraat 64 - At Nice Food House, order your freshly made sandwich simply from the counter on the street. Hot or cold, with meat or without, the choice is vast. The meat and fish fillings come from their own butcher's shop Gildehuus. Whatever sandwich you choose, it is freshly filled and baked for you in a floor oven. Go for example for the 'terribly deliciousrrrrrrr' sandwich with grilled ham or chicken with witch cheese and cheese, or the 'goat cheese pesto'. How do you prefer to fill your sandwich?

Amsterdam's Broodjeshuis | Lokethap

Zuiderdiep 16 - Order pinsas and freshly made sandwiches at the counter next to Albert Heijn Zuiderdiep. A pinsa is a cross between pizza and focaccia, offering a tasty variation on your classic bread meal. Handy for a quick bite, or take it with you for later. No monkey sandwich, but pure enjoyment. Will you go for the pinsa Honey Chicken or a freshly made tartare sandwich?

Thick Sandwich | Bread Needed

Steentilstraat 47 - Start your day off right with a nice thick sandwich. For a thick sandwich, this is the place to be. With bread from the baker and meat from neighbouring Stadsslager, this is the place to be. If you have a sweet tooth, you can also order a sandwich with homemade chocolate flakes or peanut butter. You will find the sandwich shop at the end of Steentilstraat.
