Bruges, Belgium
The read// why locals go
De Belegde Boterham is a Bruges lunchroom whose name simply means "the topped sandwich", which is an honest summary of what it does. It sits on Kleine Sint-Amandsstraat, a narrow lane a minute off the main shopping street, and serves open sandwiches on good bread alongside breakfast plates, with around 11 euros covering lunch. Belgium takes its bread and its fillings more seriously than the sandwich's reputation elsewhere would suggest, and this is the case for the defence: a small, plainly run room that gets busy at noon because everyone working nearby already knows about it.
