No doubt about it: Loetje has the best steak in Amsterdam. It's well known, so the place fills up every night. Show up early (18h) or accept a wait at the bar among the locals...

Great place. They serve entrecote or sole. Both good, but I suggest the meat, because it comes with a delicious herb sauce...
