Is Café Loetje worth it with kids?

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
