About this spot
Café Loetje is an Oud-West institution famous for its massive, flame-grilled steaks that arrive sizzling directly from the grill. Locals swear by ordering a side of their signature creamy potato salad to soak up the rich beef juices. The no-frills atmosphere and decades-long reputation make it a definitive stop for anyone craving serious Dutch steakhouse fare.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'grote' (large) portion if you want enough meat left over for a hearty breakfast the next morning.
- Skip the bread basket; the restaurant does not serve bread, so plan to bring your own or eat only the provided salad and fries.
- Expect a wait time even on weekdays, as this spot is packed with office workers and tourists alike.
