Description: Welkom bij Loetje. Zeg je Loetje, dan zeg je de lekkerste biefstuk. Op no-nonsense wijze in échte Loetje jus, met witbrood, een royaal portie friet en salade. Al ruim 45 jaar. Bij de oprichting was het de bedoeling dat Café Loetje in Amsterdam Zuid een succesvol biljartcafé zou worden. Door de ossenhaasbiefstuk op de kaart te zetten, zat de zaak al snel vol met liefhebbers. Vanuit dat ene restaurant heeft Loetje zich verspreid over heel Nederland. Restaurants met stuk voor stuk het vertrouwde biefstukreceptuur en warme Loetje DNA. Naast deze klassiekers hebben we bij Loetje nog veel meer lekkers op de kaart. Lunch, vis, vegetarisch en zeker ook toetjes. Er is niks zo lekker als Loetje. Zien we je snel? Team Loetje.

The restaurant is a classic and is well-known for the steaks it offers. Last time I was there, was a bit saltier than before but still delicious.

This restaurant servers good steaks for a reasonable price. I personally love the Sambal steak. Sides have to be ordered separately. I usually have a green salad and toast to eat all of the Sambal sauce. The steak is their specialty and is baked in the pan medium rare. You will have to actively ask if you prefer another cuisson. The place is really nice, with views on the harbour and the waterfront. The food is good, nothing to fancy, the service however often lacks a bit. Not unusual that it is slow or you are neglected for a bit, it just lacks warm hospitality. I will come again though. After all this is Amsterdam and good service is a rare good here.

In this restaurant I have during a day lunch with firm and due to that nice place and good food I went with my wife for a dinner. She really enjoy it. The portion was big and good. We tried few different meals and all of them was nice. I really recommend to everybody who stay on this side of Amsterdam to visit this place and have a nice dinner.

The quality of service and food went down the hill. The last time in July, we ordered a Bali steak & Bali beef salad with fries. We received the fries as a starter. The fries were cold. We returned the fries with a remark it is cold and it should come together with the main course. In 10 minutes, we got new cold fries swimming in mayonnaise - again as a starter. So we returned them again.It is such a pity as we like the restaurant for the food and a beautiful location where we enjoyed the sunset. I wished the restaurant kept its standard as the one in Ouderkerk.

Take the free ferry to the NDSM old shipyard. Loetje is only a 5 minute walk, but first stroll around at the shipyard, it’s a nice thing to do. Loetje overs good meat, the core business, but has much more to over. Location next to the water is great. You can even come with your own boat and dock overthere. Out of the window you can see all sorts of ships, from small to big. With luck, maybe one of the big cruise ships. The food, service and staff is great, nothing to say about that. If you have time, visit the otherside of the city center.
