At Loetje, dogs on a leash are welcome. This way, you can enjoy a bite to eat and a drink together.

Unfortunately, Loetje Leiden does not have a accessible restroom. Our restaurant is located in a historic building in the city center, which unfortunately limits the possibilities for modifications. We naturally do our best to welcome everyone as hospitably as possible. Do you have any special requirements or would you like to discuss accessibility in advance? Please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.

Reservations are not required, but we do recommend them, especially on weekends or during busy days. That way, you can be sure that a table will be waiting for you. You can make a reservation quickly and easily via our website.

At Loetje, we also think about our young guests. For the little Loetjes, we have a special children’s menu with tasty, kid-friendly dishes that they can enjoy. You can view the full children’s menu here.

Even if you don’t eat meat, you’re in good hands at Loetje. On our menu, you’ll find plenty of vegetarian (and vegan) options. What do you think of our Steak 0.0, a vegetarian alternative to the classic, with just as much gravy and love? Or a flavorful beet burger, a fresh salad, or a well-filled poke bowl?

Yes, Loetje Leiden has a sheltered courtyard where you can sit outside comfortably. Just as nice as a terrace, but right in the city and away from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or drinks in nice weather.

Loetje Leiden is the perfect place for groups. Whether you’re coming for drinks, lunch, or an elaborate dinner, we ensure everything is arranged to perfection. For large groups, we do always ask to make a reservation in advance.

We are happy to brainstorm with you about the details, even for special occasions. Want to know more or plan something directly? Visit our page on group events and discover the possibilities.
