Tessa

Fast service as usual from Loetje with delicious steak sambal/garlic sauce. Looks small from the outside but is quite large inside! Highly recommended for a good meal with good service.

Jeroen

Highly recommended! Delicious food (Biestuk Bali) and a pleasant atmosphere. It was quite busy, so reservations are essential.

Marc

The tenderloin steak was fantastic. My wife and I both have different preferences for how well done our steak should be, and in both cases, the steak was exactly how we wanted it. It was packed, yet the drinks and food arrived quickly and the service was very attentive. The price was very reasonable. Side dishes must be ordered separately. The portions are large: three of us had more than enough with one portion of fries.

Fred

We had a delicious meal and the atmosphere is super relaxed. The service was super fun and good!

Willem

What a delicious steak. Exactly right. Incredibly delicious.

Wandena

It was delicious, we both had the steak with garlic sauce, bread, and fries. That’s a good portion of food! It was so delicious that we ate there again the next day!

Laura

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s absolutely delicious! Bali steak, a fresh salad, and some bread. What else do you need?

Esther

Without a reservation, they had a nice table for us. Unexpectedly, a 5th person wasn’t a problem. Marcel is an incredibly nice host who treated us all with respect and pleasure! A solid 10!

Harry

Loetje Oost is welcoming and the atmosphere is very cozy! The standard menu is perfect, just like at all Loetjes: a butter-soft steak with plenty of gravy and white bread, delicious!

Marieke

Friendly staff, a nice place, and a delicious lunch (a 12 o’clock meal) this time.
