The place where it all began
The spot where it all started over 45 years ago: Loetje Amsterdam Café on Johannes Vermeerstraat in Amsterdam Zuid. Founded in 1977 by Ludwig ‘Loetje’ Klinkhamer as a billiard café. When the now-famous tenderloin steak hit the menu, the billiard tables quickly faded into the background – and history was made.
These days, you can still enjoy the tastiest steak in Amsterdam every day at Loetje Amsterdam Café. Our restaurant, with a spacious terrace right in the middle of the city and just around the corner from the Albert Cuyp Market, has that real Loetje Café vibe. Nothing like your typical steakhouse. This special spot is where you enjoy lunch, drinks and dinner – Loetje-style.
The famous steak restaurant in Amsterdam
Loetje Amsterdam Café isn’t just the place where our story began – it’s also where you’ll find the best steak in town. Served the no-nonsense Loetje way, in our signature jus, with soft white bread, crispy fries and a fresh salad. Amsterdammers and visitors alike agree: this is the top spot for steak in Amsterdam.
And besides our famous steak, we’ve got loads of other tasty dishes on the menu. Take a peek here!

The most delicious steak I’ve ever had! My mouth was watering! I wish I lived near here so I could go every day.

Heerlijk eetcafé, druk dus reserveren is aan te raden. Heerlijke gebakken lever gegeten en mijn vriend/collega hun bekende biefstuk. Alles was heerlijk bereid en portie was meer dan voldoende. Top bediening met heerlijke sfeer.

Family recipes-mainly featuring steak and sides. A nice wine list and good cocktails. Would recommend for a steakhouse in Amsterdam
