Had a lovely time with a friend and enjoyed a delicious meal. On the advice of a very friendly employee, I took Loetje’s tip and I didn’t regret it! Every reason to come back again.

Loetje Laren is located in a beautiful old farmhouse in the center of Laren. The building has been transformed into an attractive restaurant. Outside, you can also sit on the outdoor terrace with a view of the lively shopping street. The service is friendly and hospitable/helpful. The steak is, of course, delicious.
Fleur
My boyfriend and I have been going to Loetje Laren for our anniversary (and every six months) for years. Not only are the steaks very tasty, we also LOVE the shrimp croquettes with a delicious sauce. The service is excellent every time!
Marjolijn
We had a delicious meal and a great atmosphere. Friendly service.
Tonnetje
For me, Loetje Laren remains one of the coziest places to eat a good steak. The atmosphere is warm, the staff works efficiently, and you can tell they really care about the guests. The food always arrives beautifully on time and the quality is simply consistently good. A great place for both a quick bite and an evening of extensive dining. Highly recommended!
William
Ate at Loetje Laren today and it was amazing! The atmosphere was immediately good, and the food was delicious and of top quality. The location is also beautiful and completes the experience. An absolute must-visit for anyone who loves good food in a pleasant setting!
Dew
We had a wonderful meal, just as you would expect from Loetje. The carpaccio was super tender and delicious. It’s also nice that it wasn’t served too cold. The steak was amazing, we chose garlic and Bali, both were really top-notch in flavor. For dessert, we had the cream puff with farmers’ boys and the sticky toffee pudding. We devoured it. Absolutely fantastic, we can wholeheartedly recommend Loetje Laren!
Raymond
Great food, a good atmosphere, and pleasant service. It will be a bit busier later.
Teresa
We had a wonderful meal for 6 people for our daughter’s 21st birthday. The staff was so friendly. A lot of choice and everything tasted delicious. A cozy restaurant that’s easy to find, with a super large parking lot right next to it.
Yvonne
The food was delicious. Top-notch care. Really, Loetje! But it certainly also depends on the service. Beside our bellies being full, our laughing muscles are also well-exercised. What a friendly and humorous team. We were mainly helped by Maurice. Nothing is too crazy. It made going out to eat an extra experience. It’s really recommended.
Adri
If you want to eat really good steak, you absolutely have to be here. I’ve eaten steak in many places, but this surpasses them all. TOP!
Ben
The tuna Bali steak was at least as good as the regular steak. Alexandr served us well. Neat, courteous, and cheerful. This was a very pleasant experience, and there was a parking spot right in front of the door. Great!
Marius
Always a pleasant atmosphere and delicious food.
Richard
We had a delicious meal at. The terrace. Great service (including a bowl of water for the dog) and the tenderloin was perfect as always.
Willem
The food was as expected from Loetje, delicious steak. But specifically, a compliment to the young man who served us. At the end, we had a chat with him and he’s from Moldova. Well done to him, cheerful, spontaneous, and polite!!
