Heart & Arrow Trouwringen 💍

I am an American visiting friends in The Netherlands for three weeks. Last Saturday night, my friends took my brother and I to Loetje Laren. On the way to the restaurant we drove through the beautiful lake district neighborhoods and arrived at Laren, which is one of the more exclusive villages in The Netherlands.

Our reservation was at 8.30pm and when we arrived every single table was full and there were many patrons also at the bar.

Loetje is known for its Biefstek (steaks) and they come in four sauce options (original, garlic, spicy and with chopped liver) and two sizes (regular and XL).

I had the XL Biefstek Ossenhaas, which is the original sauce option. The sauce is like a brown gravy and is quite tasty. My brother had the Knoflook option, which is a garlic gravy (in my opinion this was the best).

The meat comes medium rare to rare unless you specifically ask for it to be prepared in a different way. My steak was very thick as an XL and part of my steak was quite rare.

We ordered mushrooms (which were tender and tasty), salad and fries as our sides. The steaks also come with slices of white bread which can be used to mop up the gravy that comes with the steak.

For dessert, we shared the trio of chocolate. There is also a dessert of the day option as well.

For many tourists this is likely not a common destination since it is a little off the beaten path; however, if you are in the mood for a great steak in a luxurious atmosphere surrounded by Dutch locals, this is an excellent option.

We found by casualty (just nearby a parking lot) a lovely Dutch restaurant, with a great variety for all tastes. The result was… I had the best Club Sandwich in The Netherlands! Also, the delicious version of the British Sticky toffee pudding, but in Dutch style 😋😁 Very friendly and attentive team staff, fair price. Definitely a place to repeat again.

Restaurant in an old farm building. Great atmosphere, good food, great service and good prices. Always a guarantee for a good evening out.

Beef Bali steak is the best dish I ever had in the Netherlands, the spicy gravi with sambal takes it to another level, ask for bread to enjoy the gravi. The feed is very tasty.

Loved the food, though on the pricey side

A magnificent, incredible and wonderfully welcoming place. Even though I am English, everything was explained clearly and friendly to me. And the food is masterful. Absolutely perfect dining and excellent staff

One of the best club sandwiches in Europe. Also the welcoming staff is commendable. Doing business with a smile is becoming too rare nowadays and Loetje does make a difference. Looking forward to visiting again!

Very nice place to eat, the steaks are delicious, the steak salad was delicious as wel according to my wife.
Great and friendly staff

Great steak house with different sauce base. Quality meat and authentic Dutch style. Price was equal to meal received.

Absolutely the best steak I've ever had. If you like a little spice, get the Bali steak and white bread for the sauce.

It was great it was fast but it was a little cold but iiked it

Food and service was excellent, despite being full! Highly recommend their steak.

We had so delicious brunch , staff was super friendly, highly recommended
