Singel 404, Amsterdam....OOOOHHHHHHH its good

Singel 404...now this is a sandwich shop and a half..and another half..and another other half.. you get the idea, I like this place..A LOT. It's a fantastic little cafe on the Single canal, Amsterdam. On a sunny day it's nice to sit outside, but tables are few and its always busy so getting there early is always advised. If you do have to wait, DO IT, it will be worth it!

Right, to the sandwiches, they are all amazing but I’m just going to mention a couple, its a tough choice but my favourites are the grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, cucumber and basil yoghurt sauce and the 'single club', which consists of chicken, bacon, old (mature) cheese and the extra slice of bread in the middle. The grilled chicken is particularly good, like most of their sandwiches it is served open; two ridiculously thick slices of bread with an enormous pile of chicken and avocado. It has to be tackled with a knife and fork, trying to turn it into a conventional sandwich would be near impossible! The chicken is the true star of this sandwich, grilled to perfection, ever so slightly crispy on the edge, it combines with the avocado and the sauce for a delightful texture. All in all an incredible sandwich.

The 'Single club' is also a treat, with sticks impaling through the layers of bread-filling-bread-filling-bread, holding the sandwich together. Luckily the bread is relatively thinly sliced and toasted which adds a nice crunch along with the crispy bacon juxtaposed with the soft chicken and cheese. Other greats include the salmon, avocado and cream cheese and the melted goats cheese and smoked chicken. All the open sandwiches are around the 6 euro mark and the clubs around 6.75, well worth every penny. GO THERE
