Focus on food |
Johannes Vermeerstraat 52 Amsterdam 1071 DM Netherlands +31 (0)20 662 8173 |
Loetje, a favorite of the locals, offers steak, fillet and fries. Try the popular Sate, based in peanut sauce. Service doesn't get any points and definitely needs to be upgraded. Food served is however delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is casual and you can take your kids and pets too. The al fresco seating is ideal during the summers. And you may even dine alone here because this is one venue where you can expect nothing more than just tasty food. Review © 2007, Wcities |
