Snackspert’s picks: these are the 10 best snacks and snack shops of 2024
We trust him even more than we trusted our 2005 diary: Eke Bosman, better known as @snackspert. From a burger with fat dripping down your fingers to the latest frikandel innovation, without Snackspert we have no idea what to snack on. And also: where to find the best snacks. His list of the top 10 best snacks and snack shops of 2024 is one we’re just short of having tattooed on our arm.
Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but with more than 150,000 followers and over 10 years of experience in the snack world, Snackspert more than lives up to his name—and that makes him our trusted leader in the world of snacks. Where does the road lead to the best sandwich, the tastiest fried snack and the cafeteria of your dreams? For that, you need to go to Eke.
10x the best snacks and snack shops of 2024
Snackspert’s list has by now become a tradition. The snack guru made one last year too. The list consists of snacks you can order at snack shops, as well as snack shops in themselves. Here is the list, in no particular order, featuring highlights from his reviews on snackspert.nl:
📍Ombretta in Utrecht: ”Heaven exists, and it can be found in Utrecht, because what I ate there was truly out of this world.”
📍Stooges in Rotterdam: ”These guys are being creative, doing great collaborations, and that’s partly why I currently consider them one of the best burger places in the Netherlands.”
📍Cafetaria ‘t Hoekje in Langweer with their broodje Mexicano: ”I can do nothing but give it 5 stars, because there isn’t a single downside. This is a world-class snack, and a world-class snack bar.”
📍Locale in Breda: ”This is a really great sandwich shop. I’ll be back soon!”
📍Broodje bistecca from Solfood in Rhoon: ”The sandwich with beef rib, lovage cream and egg, truffle pecorino, marinated tomato, Parma ham, all on a flatbread that was so crunchy and soft it made you think of that one love song from 2009, oh my.”
📍Cheese frikandel from Kruimig in Wageningen: ”I could devote many words to it, but the cheese frikandel from Kruimig in Wageningen is exactly as you’d expect—and then executed perfectly.”
📍Romeo’s in Haarlem: especially the porchetta sandwich. ”In terms of flavour, this sandwich was simply perfect. Really perfect. Wow.”
📍Broodje surf ‘n turf from Broodje & Co in Arnhem: ”The short rib is so delicious that you’d want to submit it for beauty content, the truffle mayo is homemade and therefore has a really lovely flavour, and the prawns are wonderfully tender.”
📍Snackroom van den Akker in Schijndel: ”These are snack bars in the ‘yes guys, this is how it’s done’ category, cafeterias offering homemade snacks.”
📍De Polderdel from Greg Snacks in De Kwakel: ”A frikandel topped with several cheese sticks, onions and joppie sauce. You’re probably thinking this can’t possibly be tasty, but I was incredibly and pleasantly surprised.”
