Vleeschnouwerij D. Reinhart is not a restaurant, it is a butcher shop on Lijnbaansteeg in the Amsterdam Centrum. It is a small pedestrian street (but beware of cyclists and motor scooters) that connects the Spuistraat with the Singel Canal.
Around Noon each day, Heer Reinhart pulls fresh-cooked meats from his oven for sandwiches (belegde broodjes [stuffed rolls] as the Dutch call them).
Our first visit there the meats were a lamb leg (fried), a fresh salami, and a meat-loaf made from the wares of his shop: We went for the meat-loaf...hot from the oven, spicy with the mixture of meats, and grainy in its gravy on the fresh broodje. No butter, no condiments needed—Amsterdammers readily eat on the move, and the satisfactions of sandwiches such as this provide a good explanation.
