This place is ALL OVER social media, but is it worth the hype? Absolutely…read more We stopped here in October 2025, after an already filling late lunch. But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.

Street food in Amsterdam, does it get any better? There were three street foods I wanted to try…read morewhen visiting. Herring was on the top of the list. Most herring I had eaten was Swedish herring or "sill" usually prepared in a pickled solution. We returned to this stand, located near the Bloemenmarkt, across from UNIQLO. It was quite a popular area, located on a bend over a canal with trams and trolleys rolling by. The line on the two days we were there wasn't long and waited less than 5 minutes both times to place our order. The first stop I bought one order of herring with pickles, onion and the "Nederlandse vlag." We returned two days later and purchased another order of the herring and a herring sandwich with the herring served on a simple white roll with onion and pickles. Both were excellent. Didn't sample the fried cod, eel sandwich or the mackerel. Would I return? Without a doubt! While we had some excellent food in Amsterdam, Frens topped my list as a must visit stand when walking around Amsterdam!

I highly doubt you'll get a better deal on eating in Europe. I especially loved the Bruschetta sandwiches here, both of them are lovely, they are chockful of meats and cheeses. You could eat them cold or what you should do is have him heat it up and then demolish it right then and there. Mr. Serious behind the counter (not his real name) makes a MEAN SANDWICH! We actually spoke to him, he's actually real chill. Go, you will not be disappointed.

One of the cheapest places to get sandwiches in Amsterdam! It's a little further away from Centraal…read moreStation but only about 15 mins away by tram. Located in a farmers market everyday except Sundays and Mondays. Luckily Boer Geert was very close to our Airbnb during our stay in Amsterdam! CHEAP AND SO GOOD!! At around 3 euros or more for a sandwich with a generous amount of meat! It's all made to order and cooked fresh right in front of you! Only takes a few mins for them to finish your order, but it's worth the wait if you're an impatient and hungry person. Definitely recommend if you're in this area for a quick and cheap meal! Also, CASH ONLY.

The long time customers tell me it's "The best haring in Amsterdam" too. Always fresh and consistent. Prices are so low it's easy to go often. Fast and Lekker!
