Bas

Last night we dined there for the first time. It was excellent! The steak was cooked perfectly, the gravy was delicious, and the side dishes we ordered were not only tasty but also more than plentiful. The service was friendly, skilled, and cheerful. Highly recommended!

Frank

Second time at Loetje Leeuwarden. Delicious food and top-notch service! As always, I order the Bali steak, and it never disappoints! The staff in Leeuwarden was very friendly and helpful.

Erik

Had a wonderful meal with colleagues. For starters, we had the soup of the day, and for the main course: Bali tenderloin steak, wonderfully spiced. And… white bread to dip in the gravy. For dessert, a delicious fresh apple pie with whipped cream. If you’re seated upstairs, you get a beautiful view of the Leeuwarden station and fountain.

Hendrik

It looked cozy, the atmosphere was good, and the food was served at the same time.

Ron

Beautiful spot with a view of the characteristic Central Station Leeuwarden and always good food, as you would expect from Loetje. A recommendation for those looking for good meat without any fuss.

André

Reserved for lunch with 4 people on Saturday. Super friendly staff. Nice table in a large restaurant. Good familiar menu with all super delicious things. The food was super delicious, and the prices were reasonable (the portions were large, so you won’t go hungry here). Delightful, the sun was shining in, no dark and stuffy restaurant but wonderfully bright and spacious. Just great. Car parked nicely around the corner. But it is also within walking distance of the train station. Great spot then.

One of the better Loetje Restaurants in the Netherlands.
Superb meal, really just like you expect from Loetje & super waiter!

Ingrid

Delicious food and a lovely time!

Rianne

Very beautiful restaurant inside; because it actually has multiple rooms, it is not as noisy as often in a restaurant, so you can still hear each other well. Delicious food.

Thea

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Wim

We ended up here thru a lunch deal from AH. Delightfully seated in the conservatory in the sunshine. We could choose from 3 types of tenderloin. We chose the sambal variant. With that, we got a delicious salad and a generous bowl of fries. And we also chose a delicious red wine from Puglia. Our (English-speaking) host was very hospitable and attentive. All in all, enjoyed this lunch. Definitely a recommendation!

Peter

Delicious place to go out to eat with a team or some friends. Tip: the Bali steak.

Tineke
