"Open for: Brunch, lunch, dinner Price range: $ The best place to go for a croquette in town — in a city where every other restaurant has a croquette — Van Dobben has been at it since 1945. The cafeteria offers a wide array of fried foods and meat products, mostly intended to be eaten on soft white rolls. The veal croquettes are crunchy and classic, but there are more adventurous options, like the broodje tartaar topped with raw hamburger, a boiled egg, and a generous dollop of mayo. The restaurant does have vegetarian options, though the menu definitely centers on meat. Retro vibes and communal mustard spoons add to the charm. Vibe check: Despite the central location, Van Dobben is popular with locals for lunch. Get a glass of milk with your sandwich if you want to blend in." - Katharine Khamhaengwong
