The best sandwiches in 040

Real hunger is best satisfied with a properly topped sandwich or two. But where do you get them when you’re in Eindhoven? Well, here, for example. FavorFlav recommends the best sandwiches and rolls in 040.

Sandwiches at Onder de Leidingstraat
For a healthy organic sandwich without too much fuss, head to Onder de Leidingstraat in Strijp-S. At this deli, breakfast and lunch spot, and takeaway, they lovingly prepare a double sandwich for you – those thick, hand-cut slices. Made with sourdough, so wonderfully crisp. The one with Manchego, mango chutney and basil is the tastiest. Although the double sandwich with Spinata Romana (Italian cured sausage) also hits the spot from time to time. Leidingstraat 45, Eindhoven

Sausage roll at Bar Bistro Calypso

Calypso also has healthy sandwiches on the menu. Although there’s a good chance you’ll skip those in favor of a sausage roll. A Turkish pide, to be precise. With merguez sausages, fried onion rings and harissa mayo. Make it a full anti-hangover meal with a Bloody Mary on the side. And if you’re really hungry, order a slice of banana bread or a Houben sausage roll too. Stratumseind 83, Eindhoven

Croquette rolls 2.0 at Culinair Cafetaria
Here we go again. FavorFlav recently published an article about Culinair Cafetaria. Yet here we are mentioning it again. Because that rendang croquette is also served, if desired, in one of those soft white rolls. And once again: you want this. The team now also serves a croquette filled with smoked mackerel and beetroot. Combined with the horseradish aioli, it’s a winner in your sandwich. Vonderweg 1, Eindhoven

No limp stuff, but robust organic sourdough loaves from the stone oven.

Robust at Stadsbakkerij Broodt

No frills, but back to basics. That’s the philosophy of Stadsbakkerij Broodt. No limp stuff, but robust organic sourdough loaves from the stone oven. You can order a sandwich with Italian fennel sausage, Kempische ham or raw-milk farmhouse cheese from the Genneper Hoeve. And don’t forget a croissant on the side and a strong cup of coffee. Then settle down on the sofa or on the peaceful terrace in the sun, and your day is off to a good start. Smalle Haven 101, Eindhoven
