Is Café Loetje worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Café Loetje earns the hours.

Allow 1.5 hours.

Boisterous, beer-soaked, and unapologetically about one thing: a good steak in great sauce. Locals pack the terraces in summer; it's loud, social, and deeply Amsterdam.

How we verified
  • Founded 1977 by Ludwig 'Loetje' Klinkhamer as a billiard café; the tenderloin steak (biefstuk) in its signature gravy became the draw and the billiard tables faded out. · loetje.nl
  • Now grown to 30+ locations across the Netherlands, all built on the same steak-and-gravy formula. · loetje.nl
