Hendrik
At Loetje, the steak is exactly as I remember it from my childhood: perfectly tender, bathed in rich gravy, with white bread to mop up every last drop. What a treat!
Marianne
Delicious food on the banks of the Amstel. The food is excellent! The steak is phenomenal! Highly recommended! Friendly and efficient staff. All the food is fresh and outstanding.
Reinald
It’s always a treat to eat at Loetje again. The Loetje steak remains a favorite. No nonsense with delicious gravy and bread for dipping. Add fries and enjoy, without unnecessary vegetable garnish or lettuce leaf. Please don’t change this concept, then we’ll keep coming.
Alex
As always, I had a delicious steak.
The Bali variant (with sambal) is still the real favorite, and dipping the bread in the gravy is just part of it, delicious.
For dessert, a sticky toffee pudding, which never disappoints either.
I definitely appreciated the jokes from the staff; they were funny and customer-friendly. If you have the same sense of humor, it’s great.
Marielle

As always, delicious steak. Loetje on the Amstel is a beautiful location and ideally situated for a bite to eat before a concert at Amsterdam Ziggo/Afas.
Ruud
Delicious steak from Loetje, unbeatable in my opinion. The atmosphere was perfect, as was the service.
We should do this more often!
Michel
Top quality ambiance, excellent steak, but also other delicious dishes.
Martin
Excellent restaurant, naturally known for its steaks. Which were also garnished and made even more flavorful with things like chicken livers… I don’t eat meat, and I had the 0.0 steak. Honestly, give these a try… I was pleasantly surprised! Thinking about it now makes my mouth water again! Really delicious!
Reinald
This Loetje restaurant is located in a beautiful authentic building on a charming little street on the Amstelzijde in Amstelveen. In addition to a large bar and a large restaurant area (upstairs and downstairs), they also have a beautiful outdoor terrace along the Amstel (ideal in summer weather). The service is also very friendly and welcoming. The menu and food are what you would expect from a Loetje restaurant (quality). We enjoyed the steak again.
