| Last reviewed: May 2026 Founded in 1977 as a billiard café, Loetje became famous for serving what many call Amsterdam's best steak - tenderloin in a signature jus with soft white bread, fries and salad. Unfussy, busy and beloved, steps from Museumplein and the Concertgebouw. A true Amsterdam classic.
