Sandwichshop Amsterdam: Pastrami with mustard mayo and hot chicken

Grilled pastrami with caramelized onions, cheddar and pickles, plus hot chicken with homemade curry mayo.

Grilled pastrami

This is one of my favorite pastrami sandwiches in Amsterdam. The grilled pastrami came with caramelized onions and melted cheddar, giving the smoky, savory meat both sweetness and richness. The sandwich had several strong flavors, but they connected through that combination of meat, soft onions and melted cheese.

Pickles, lettuce and mustard mayo

The pickles brought a tangy contrast to the pastrami and cheese, while crisp lettuce changed the texture. Creamy mustard mayo tied those elements together. What made this satisfying was the range within one sandwich: smoky meat, sweet onion, rich cheese and that sharper bite of pickle.

Hot chicken with curry mayo

I also tried the hot chicken sandwich, with melted cheddar, lettuce and homemade curry mayo. It had a creamy, gently spiced finish, offering a different direction from the smoky pastrami. If choosing between the two, the pastrami is the combination I singled out in my caption; the chicken is the softer-spiced alternative.
