Broodje van Kootje, a beloved Dutch sandwich chain that once dotted the streets of Amsterdam, has made a grand return in the historic city of Alkmaar. The new eetsalon, located at Huiswaarderplein 1, promises to evoke the same nostalgic charm and delectable flavors that won over generations of loyal customers.

The story of Broodje van Kootje began in 1937 when Ko Kulderij opened a small eetsalon in Amsterdam. The name "Broodje van Kootje" translates to "Sandwich from Kootje," a testament to the shop's humble beginnings. Over the decades, the chain grew in popularity, becoming a beloved destination for both locals and tourists alike.

However, in recent years, the number of Broodje van Kootje locations dwindled. The last remaining shop in Amsterdam closed its doors in 2019, leaving countless fans mourning the loss of their favorite sandwich haven.

But all hope was not lost. In 2023, a group of passionate entrepreneurs decided to revive the iconic brand. They scoured the country for the perfect location and finally settled on Alkmaar, a charming city known for its rich history and vibrant culinary scene.

The new eetsalon has been carefully designed to capture the essence of the original Broodje van Kootje. From the vintage-style décor to the friendly staff, every detail has been meticulously considered to transport customers back in time. And of course, the menu features a mouthwatering array of classic Dutch sandwiches, each one lovingly crafted with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques.
