Topping a frikandel with joppiesaus? Snackbar “De Kim” in Amstelveen just does it

The snack bar De Kim in Amstelveen is highlighted for its unique name and confident atmosphere. A reviewer praises their specialty frikandel topped with joppiesaus and fresh onions as a delicious, standout snack.

Snackbar De Kim, situated near the Groenhof shopping center in Amstelveen, distinguishes itself with a unique name and a confident, local charm. Despite its kiosk-like appearance adorned with nostalgic football memorabilia from the 2012 European Championships, the eatery offers a culinary experience that impresses visitors. Its atmosphere reflects a straightforward, traditional approach to the classic Dutch snack bar experience.

The centerpiece of the reviewer's visit was the frikandel joppie speciaal, a dish featuring a seasoned frikandel topped with creamy, curry-forward joppiesaus and fresh onions. The combination provides a balanced mix of sweetness and sharp textures, offering an alternative to standard snack options. While similar in style to specialty snacks found in nearby areas, the version served at De Kim stands out for its simplicity and flavor profile, making it a worthy destination for those looking to enjoy a local culinary tradition.
