Just around the corner from our house is one of Amsterdam's most popular restaurants, Cafe Loetje. It is famous for its steaks, so much so that when we try to describe to someone where our house is Cafe Loetje is often the most well-known landmark. We went there for dinner on Friday night, and I can see why it's famous- the steaks are incredible. When you order a steak, that is what you get- a plate with a fairly small looking steak on it. Chips or salads must be ordered separately (but were also delicious and definitely worth it). Once you start eating though, you realise that it's bigger than it looks because it is so thick, and the gravy it comes with is filling too.
While we were sitting there eating our food, a cat just wandered in and hopped up onto a stool at the bar. We were quite fascinated, but no-one else seemed- I guess he was a regular.
They don't take bookings so we had a half hour wait, but the atmosphere was fun and relaxed so we were perfectly happy waiting at the bar with a Heineken. Very Dutch, very gezellig and very delicious.
