They have a variety of liver paste and they sell other peculiar items. I tried two types of salamis here, both had a unique and delicious smoked taste. One of the favorites here in the Netherlands is a salami that is slowly cooked by smoke at a specific temperature for one year or so. It has a raw appearance, however the meat is fully cooked by smoke and the process they are using. All sausages or salami are served with mustard the condiment of choice in the Netherlands.

When you enter the shop all this meat and meat products is smack dab in front of you. The glass…read moredisplay case containing most of the meat sits at an angle across the room so that when you enter you're looking straight at the meat. Behind the counter the butchers and their helpers are busily cutting or wrapping meat. It's definitely a busy store. As is usual for me, I stand in line awaiting my turn to come up when 15 minutes or so later I realize it's a numbered system and I have to get a number. LOL. Of course the ticket number dispenser is right at the door as soon as you come in. Doh. The staff is friendly and helpful and can even decipher my kind of okay spoken Dutch. I suppose they're happy I'm at least trying. Actually it's so good that they respond in Dutch leaving me wide eyed and confused not knowing what it is they said. The prices are okay, not low not high. The meat fresh and ample. After much research I've determined the difference in cuts of meat here in Holland. The beef is leaner and has less marbling. It makes me wonder if marbled meat is available here in Holland. Regardless, it's a nice clean friendly establishment that I'll return to many times to buy my cuts of meat especially since now I know where they're located..

A very legit cheese shop, despite being so close to the touristy Red Light District. I didn't know…read moremy way around Dutch cheeses, so just asked the lady to pick a cheese that she thought would go well on each sandwich; expert pairing advice! Also, seems they make some of the meats in-house like the ham, roast beef and pastrami. Broodje Gezond Kaas: This was a simple ham and cheese sandwich, yet so delicious. The ham tasted very fancy, so you can tell it is a specialty of theirs. And the bread was both chewy and crunchy. Rosbief Truffel de Luxe Broodje met Truffelmayo: Very fancy roast beef with that truffle mayo in the mix. Same great cheese pairing and crusty bread. The greens worked well on this sandwich to offset the richness. Spekkoek: Saw a few slices of this multi-layered Indonesian cake behind the counter. It was a bit different from other Lapis Legit that I've had before. It seemed the layers were thicker so there were fewer. Also, the spiced cake flavor was dominant and it didn't seem that buttery.

Great chicken and corn, plus fresh peppermint tea. Loved it and the owner was very friendly!!!read more
