Where to eat a good sandwich in Brussels? Here are our 10 sandwich shops in Brussels

If you're not Belgian, don't be surprised to see your colleagues take out their sandwiches for lunch. Unlike our European neighbours, it is quite rare to eat hot food twice a day in Belgium. We've gotten used to it since primary school… Two slices of toast, a knob of butter, a slice of ham and another of cheese and lunch is ready.

In Belgium, the sandwich remains a safe bet. Whether you are in a hurry or not, there are all kinds. Here is our top list with the best places to buy sandwiches in Brussels. Some preparations will make you travel, such as the pastrami sandwich or those with cheeses from a Brussels affineur.

To go further, this might interest you:

1. ElvisFoodStore.com good sandwiches and smoothies in the European district. 

If you are passing through the European quarter at lunchtime, don't miss the cozy atmosphere, a good cafe latte or a smoothie at ElvisFoodStore. Whether it's for coffee, breakfast, sandwiches to go, it's worth it. We're leaning towards the Beef Tartare Sandwich, Rocket Parmesan & Pesto or the "Spicy Artichoke" ciabatta (provolone cheese, spicy ventricina, artichoke tapenade)

Rue de la Science 14, Brussels

2. Julien hazard, the affineur sandwich and their delicious club sandwich in Uccle

Love and passion, that's what hides behind the counter of this cheese refiner. We have to admit that behind the counter they know their trade and their cheeses quite well. Once you set foot there, you can't go anywhere else. Here's what it's for our favorite cheesemaker in Brussels. In addition to cheeses, you will find charcuterie and wines. You won't find a better combination to prepare your sandwiches. The staff is competent and friendly. An unmissable address in Uccle. Worth a visit when passing through Uccle.

3. Elbow Lunch Counter, the best in the USA in Matongue in Brussels

We returned by chance one weekend in this sign of the Matongue district. We did not regret it: incredible sandwiches, quality products. Ditto for the super welcoming team. The meat is delicious, probably the best pastrami you can eat in Brussels…. a real trip across the Atlantic to the heart of Brussels! The wait is sometimes a bit long but it's so worth it for your sandwich. Go for it!
Be careful, if you are interested in pastrami, it is only on weekends. If you are late, call to reserve… The good things go quickly. Bring cash, cash payment only.
Rue de la Paix 32, 1050 Brussels

4. Tonton Garby incredible sandwiches near Brussels Central Station

We had heard that the sandwiches at Tonton Garby would be too too delicious… We have been checked. Wow! In addition to the warm atmosphere of the staff who share their passion and the desire to discover freshness and taste. For example, there are mixtures of sweet and savory flavors (cheeses and crispy apples). We recommend this place for your sandwiches with your eyes closed and your mouth open. If there is a queue, don't be afraid of the relatively long waiting time, the experience is worth the detour!
