After yet another round of tech talks at DevWorld that could put even an insomniac to sleep, we decided to embark on the great lunchtime adventure. Armed with nothing but an empty stomach and blind faith in Google Maps, we arrived at *Vinnies*, a charming little sandwich haven in Amsterdam. And oh, what a treat it was!
At first glance, you might think Vinnies is just another trendy lunch spot. But don’t be fooled—this place has some serious sandwich game. The menu boasts an impressive lineup, including vegetarian delights and seafood specialties that could make a fisherman weep with joy. *Martijn* took a leap of faith with the mackerel salad sandwich, featuring lightly spiced fish, radish, and pickled cucumber, all brought together in perfect harmony. *Yuva*, on the other hand, was just happy that they didn’t have to remortgage their house for a good meal in Amsterdam.
But what truly sets Vinnies apart isn’t just the food—it’s the *top-notch service*. The staff here could give a TED Talk on hospitality. Friendly, helpful, and always ready with a great recommendation, they turned what could have been just a simple lunch into a full-on experience. It’s the kind of place where you leave with a full belly and a heart warmed by human kindness.
Yes, the ambiance could have been a tad cozier, and maybe the prices aren’t rock-bottom cheap, but considering the quality of food and the *extra-mile service*, it’s more than worth it.
Vinnies isn’t just a lunch spot—it’s a lunchtime *victory*. Whether you're recovering from a soul-draining conference or just in need of a sandwich that actually respects your taste buds, this is the place to be.
*Why the Bonus Point?* Because when the service is this good, you have to give credit where credit’s due. Shoutout to the wonderful staff who made our lunch feel like a warm, welcoming experience.
