Loetje Almere Noorderplassen in Wijk 02 Almere Stad

It was very busy, the end of the autumn holidays, yet the food arrived at a rapid pace—not too fast of course, but just good! Such a packed place with guests and such a delicious meal. Dessert from Loetje afterwards and I’ve had my dessert for 12 years, haha! Worth repeating, we are fans of the Loetje steak (classic) in garlic gravy. Friendly staff. A nice little getaway!

Great service, tasty and good food, beautiful location, a bit too noisy.

However, we had such an incredibly nice and friendly waitress! Compliments to these girls. She really made the meal an experience!!

Beautiful location, great food and great staff

Had an excellent meal today, nice atmosphere, beautiful view, and fantastic staff and service! Van Logchem

Dine with the 5x AH Loetje deal and 1x à la carte. All the steaks were prepared perfectly to our liking. Had a delicious meal. The service was polite, friendly, and efficient. See you next time!

Had a great meal, friendly staff

Nice place, as requested beforehand, for a group of 6. The food was good. The service too. In short, very satisfied.

Quality of steaks has dipped a little bit service is great and still worth a visit.

Had a nice lunch and a beautiful location. (but it is a shame that the charging stations weren't working, there was a rather prominent ashtray at the entrance full of old cigarette butts, and various cutlery wasn't clean......)

Very satisfied with the food and certainly the service as well. Compliments.

Very pleasant and we had a delicious meal. The schnitzel and calf's liver are also deliciously prepared. Hats off!

The familiar Loetje, only now in a location with free parking and a beautiful view.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, to criticize.

Steak is always top-notch! Service is friendly, and the location is beautifully situated and quiet. Tables are not too close together.

Loetje is always good with steak!

The food was tasty, served quickly, and the service by a friendly blonde lady who handed out the menu, took orders, and brought the bill was excellent. The person who brought the drinks either placed them on the table for guests to serve themselves or handed them to the guests to pass around. That was not what you expect or want to see in a restaurant. The atmosphere was good, and the location was beautiful.

Super nice and attentive service. Tasty steak as usual.

Friendly staff who also think along with you during the order.

Loetje offers the best steaks. You shouldn't miss this experience. The restaurant's location is also very beautiful.

The fries were very salty, but next time we will ask to have them without salt and put them on ourselves, that is better.

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere and the staff are nice and friendly.

Ordered fish, I got a schnitzel.... I had to watch everyone eat.. I didn't get my food until half an hour later, when everyone at my table was already finished. Normally, if you make a mistake, you immediately proceed to make the right food.. no, unfortunately that wasn't possible. It wasn't a pleasant experience like that, and I didn't even get an apology!

Had a delicious dinner last night with the three of us before going to a concert. The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful location. The food was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves very much.

Friday afternoon and Indian summer, that is when Loetje Noorderplassen has the finest waterside terrace. The menu is, as you would expect from Loetje, something for everyone. Even with fish and salads on the menu. The service is very welcoming and cheerful. We enjoyed the calf's liver, Salade Nicolas, and an Esma for dessert. The sunset completes the experience, and the weekend has begun.

We were sitting on the terrace because of the beautiful autumn weather. Behind us sat a group of about 6 men who were all smoking heavily, continuously. We moved seats, which was possible in this case because the terrace was not full. Surely this is outdated? Perhaps it is time for a smoking ban on terraces?

The waiter was very rushed the entire time, even though it wasn't very busy.

It was very pleasant with very friendly service.

As with every Loetje, the food was fine. However, the atmosphere was more pleasant than, for example, Laren or Almere Stad; the interior layout and the view over the water certainly contribute to this. The service was quick and always very friendly. A Loetje to return to.

We ordered a piece of beef that was very flavorful and tender, cooked to my liking even though we weren't asked how we wanted it. The sauce that came with the beef was too greasy. And that's all. If you want fries, there's an extra charge; a salad or vegetables are also extra. Therefore, I would rate the value for money as poor. The staff was helpful despite the restaurant being full. The American Chardonnay was delicious.

We enjoyed our meal. However, the vegetable supplement—which used to be tasty green beans—was now a small bowl of fried bell peppers, onions, and aubergine. The waitress acknowledged our disappointment and indicated that this is a frequently heard complaint, a decision made by head office. She did nothing with this information and noticed that we had not eaten the vegetables.

On Friday, September 25, 2026, we had a truly delicious meal at De Noorderplassen. The steak (with gravy served separately) was incredibly tender, and the mushrooms and other dishes were perfectly fine. A beautiful location by the water. A friendly young lady who served us made it complete. And all this in Almere, to end the work week like this. What more could you ask for?

25-9-2026 We dined at Loetje Noorderplassen with 7 people. It was undeniably excellent; everyone found the food delicious, tender steak and nice and warm for everyone. Delicious desserts. No long waiting times, even though it was very busy. The staff is cheerful, friendly, and helpful. After consultation, we were given a great spot that was easily accessible with a wheelchair. We are very satisfied.

Delicious beef tenderloin meal salad with Loetjes Bali sauce! Perfect finishing touch with cheesecake dessert

Well, what more can I add? Steak with Loetje garlic gravy is simply a winner. The meat is of good quality, cooked exactly as ordered. Great for dipping your slice of fresh white bread into the gravy. For me, simply a delicious experience, every time.

Once again, had a delicious meal and drinks here with friends. Top location by the water and a special compliment to the service. Friendly, cheerful, happy, professional, and competent despite the crowds; everything ran smoothly, excellent.

Cozy and nice place to enjoy a bite to eat

Delicious food. Friendly service, definitely worth repeating.

Friendly, efficient, and polite service

Super tasty, a super nice atmosphere, and friendly service

Yes, we had a delicious meal! It was great and the location too. By the water... what more could you ask for?

Went for lunch, nice waitress, quick service, and the food tasted fresh.

The view is really nice , food and service are excellent 👌

Super steak and delicious dessert from Loetje

Delicious steak today. Fries for one person might be an option. Could I have a cookie with my coffee instead of nougat?

Beautiful location... when the weather is nice, you can enjoy a bite and a drink on the terrace by the water here and take in the beautiful view and a fantastic sunset.

Loetje. Tasty steak. Side dishes fine. Service extremely friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. It was a pleasant three and a half hours.

Friendly and efficient service. Quality was fine. We only found the selection from the lunch menu a bit mediocre, but all in all, we had a nice afternoon.

Loetje, always good! Also in Almere.

NO MUSSELS BUT 4 CARDS AS THE TIP OF THE DAY, RIDICULOUS 🤮🤮

Almost half of the restaurant was empty, and we asked if we could sit at one of the tables by the window. The tables were for four people, and there were only two of us, but some of them was also taken by two people. The waitress said she needed to ask her colleague first. When she came back, she showed us another table which is for five people, was high and uncomfortable to eat at, and was tucked away in a corner, almost hidden behind everything else. We found this quite disappointing, especially considering that almost half of the restaurant was empty. It would have been much nicer if we could have been seated by the window.

Delicious food and wonderfully friendly staff

We had a lovely time sitting on the terrace by the water. The atmosphere is cozy, nice, and relaxed. The service is customer-friendly and helpful. However, it took an incredibly long time before we were served. The food is also affordable. Highly recommended despite the long wait!!!

The weather was nice and we could enjoy lunch outside.

Had a delicious meal. Friendly staff

Terrible service at Loetje Noorderplassen. We sat at a table for about 25 minutes without anyone coming over to us. Not to take an order, and not even to ask if we wanted anything to drink. And to be clear: it wasn't even busy. Eventually, we just got up ourselves and walked over to someone to ask how much longer it would take before we were served. Meanwhile, that person was standing there chatting quietly with a group of young people at another table. The only answer we got was: “She is taking the orders.” Fine, then you expect someone to come next. But no. The lady in question kept walking back and forth and cleaning tables, apparently without realizing that there were still guests sitting there who hadn't been able to order anything yet. After waiting for another 10 minutes or so, no one had come yet. So we just got up and left. So, in the end, we sat there for well over half an hour, had nothing to drink, ate nothing, and were completely ignored even after we had asked for attention ourselves. What makes this even more disappointing is that we were regular customers here. We really came to eat at Loetje several times a month and always enjoyed doing so. That is precisely why we absolutely did not expect to be treated this way. But after this experience, it’s over for us. With this, they have lost a regular customer who came to eat several times a month.

Lives up to its reputation as a steak restaurant; had a delicious meal! Pricey, yes, but it’s worth it once in a while. Very friendly staff and a beautiful view, but very busy, with many tables quite close together. Nevertheless, worth a return visit!

A nice, cozy, and very atmospheric place! Extremely friendly staff, and the dishes at Loetje are always delicious. Great prices too. Highly recommended!

One of the most beautiful Loetje locations. The food is always good. They also took into account that we had a stroller with us.

We had discount coupons from AH, and for that price, it was fantastic!

We ate at Loetje Noorderplassen Almere on a weekday evening on a beautiful, sunny terrace by the water. The schnitzel (23.50 euros) tastes fine but is served without side dishes. Including side dishes (vegetables + fries), the price is 36 euros. The poke bowl is also tasty, as are the two desserts. Beers are pricey at 5.50 euros. For two people, a main course and dessert each, plus a few drinks, results in a bill of almost 100 euros. We won't be doing that again.

Loetje is a more pleasant experience after Boathouse. Beautifully situated in Almere on the Noorderplassen, with prompt service. A few fine wines and served at a good temperature. Salad generous and beautifully presented. Steaks, beefsteak, and hamburger excellent.

We were with a large group for lunch. The food was simply good. We did have to wait a bit (too) long at times, especially for the drinks. Unfortunately, you also need to check the bill carefully. We were charged for three times too many desserts that hadn't been ordered (noted down incorrectly); we only noticed this when we got home.

Lovely location by the water! Attentive staff.

Nice place, typical Loetje food, beautiful location with a table by the water.

I have been coming here several days a year now. And it is always lively and busy. The staff and the hostess are also always in a good mood.

Crude, rude service that only acknowledges you after 20 minutes or immediately comes to tell you that you aren't allowed to sit somewhere. It's perfectly fine if you're not allowed to sit somewhere, but there are many ways to communicate something like that. These employees are too forward and direct in their communication. No pleasant feeling and absolutely no respect for their customers. Beautiful location, wrong hospitality and staff... Once again, nothing to do in Almere. We left immediately.

Little and incredibly salty food for a ridiculously high price. Salty meat, very salty gravy, very salty fries, and very salty mayonnaise. Disproportionate. And a shame the terrace was closed due to a shortage of staff. A big fail for us! No more Loetje!

Not clean, food way too salty, expensive, steak was good. 300 grams for 33 euros. The staff did their best but were understaffed. Absolutely no atmosphere. We are never going there again. It is way too expensive for what you get. Worst restaurant experience ever.

We entered via the terrace after mooring our boat. Luckily, we still had a table available in the shade and wanted to enjoy something to eat and drink. There were three of us, including a small dog. We were looking at the menu when the waiter came over immediately with the message: "This is a table for four; you have to go to another table for two." Okay, fine, but everything was full. Only that table was right at the bottom of the water in full sun. I asked: "Can't we just stay here, because with a dog and a child in full sun and such a small table..." No, we had to leave. No alternative was offered to us, not even inside; just that or nothing. Very unfriendly too... but now that I read all the reviews here, I'm glad we didn't spend our money on you... definitely not recommended, this place!!!!

I have been to Loetje Noorderplassen often and it was always good. I went for lunch today, but absolutely everything went wrong. When I asked the waitress after sitting for half an hour if we could order, she said I shouldn't go to her, but to another colleague. When I indicated that her colleague wasn't coming, she decided to take our order. There were three of us. One person received her soup and we were told that the other dishes would take longer. Eventually, the rest arrived 20 minutes later. I had a goat cheese focaccia. When I opened the bread, there were two small pieces of goat cheese on it. And that for 15 euros! I asked for more goat cheese to be put on the bread. Dessert was also served incorrectly. Furthermore, we weren't asked how we wanted our steak cooked. All in all, the lunch was a disappointment. What a shame!!!

Very nice setting. Food was good. Had the burger and chips. Service was good.

Amazing location by the water & veggie options!! Great experience, thank you Loetje Noorderplassen! <3

The staff gets it. Not too fast and not too slow. The food was delicious.

Reception too businesslike, could be more convivial, too formal, whereas the lady at the table speaks to us in a normal, pleasantly relaxed manner.

Beautiful location by the water. The food is delicious, as one would expect from Loetje. The steak is of very good quality and the service is top-notch. I recommend everyone to go eat here and enjoy themselves.

Great location and the food was very tasty too!

Simply good, tasty piece of meat

Fantastic steak. Nice location and free parking.

We ate with 4 people, all steak, 2 people had a small steak with 4 pieces of chicken liver and fried onions. €34.00 We received a plate with a lot of gravy containing a small steak. And a plate with 5 slices of bread. That was it! No fries, no vegetables, and the gravy was very salty!! We mentioned this and received a long reply, but nothing was done about it. I found the price of €177 including 4 drinks much too high considering the food. As a consolation, we received 2 free coffees. No more Loetje for us!!!

No, at Loetje you are not served “nicely,” and most certainly not with a smile as the new commercial would have you believe. We were 10 minutes late due to traffic; upon entering, there was a line, and the hostess was nowhere to be seen. When she finally returned, she told the group in front of us that they had to wait at the bar because their table wasn't ready yet. This group left because the bar was already full of people waiting. When it was finally our turn, it was 20 minutes past our reservation. The hostess snapped at us, saying that we were late and the reservation had been cancelled. That the reservation was cancelled is bad enough, but snapping at guests like that is not okay!

Is less than 1 star even possible? What terrible service! We didn't even get to eat, despite having a reservation! Unbelievable. We were snapped at for being 10 minutes late. It was due to traffic on the way, parking congestion, and waiting endlessly for our turn to make our reservation known. No, no, your reservation has been cancelled. You really are late. Well, never mind then, I don't need to eat here again.

The stay was wonderful; we could sit comfortably on the veranda and relax with food and drinks. The service was top-notch and very attentive. We will definitely come back.

We were here for the introduction of the prospective members for 50plus Almere. Everything was in tip-top order with very friendly service.

Beautiful location, great staff. Food was as expected, excellent.

What a beautiful location, lovely by the water

Finally got to eat at Loetje. Now, my standard of living isn't exactly high, but being surrounded by smokers without ashtrays throwing their butts our way is just a bit too much. So we moved inside, and every time a waitress stood at our table with drinks we hadn't ordered. Naturally, the result was that our bill was incorrect. The only plus is that the food is good and there is nothing to complain about there. Maybe we were unlucky, but for us, this will remain a one-time dining experience at Loetje.

On a summer day, you are sitting comfortably outside. Everything is well arranged.

A great Loetje branch with all the quality that goes with it. And with a lovely view too.

It was nice and busy, but the food was delicious, the service was good, and the ambiance was perfect! Great date night!

Great location and delicious food.

If it wasn't so pricey I would definitely go there more often ... The rest is great!!

We were helped by Anwar, what a star! He kept track of everything very well during busy times. Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for the bill, but otherwise everything was great 👌🏼

The steak was delicious again and the service was very friendly.

5 big stars for Roos! Truly amazing service, making sure she stays with your company 😉

We ate on the terrace on a lovely Friday. The food was truly delicious; that is not the reason for the poor score. However, the fact is that we did not feel welcome. Upon entering, we had walked through the terrace but were required to check in inside. No problem, but a simple "nice to see you" would have been nice! And the lady who showed us to our table was clearly impatient when we hesitated about whether to sit in or out of the sun. We were having a night out, so that time pressure felt really annoying. Unfortunately, Loetje chooses not to serve cappuccino with oat milk (in any of its branches), something that surprises me greatly in 2026 with all the diets out there. The staff were very busy; compliments to all the staff outside in the heat (in black synthetic clothes! Oh, poor things!). But there was no sign of anything extra. It lacked heart! We asked if the cup of coffee could be taken away (we had a very small table for all the food), but the person bringing it couldn't do that. I find it a shame that the young staff do not receive better hospitality training by seeing for themselves what is needed. It seems as if they have to follow a rigid framework and are not allowed to take initiative at Loetje; it is a real pity! Especially since the prices are above average, with all the side dishes that you have to pay for separately. It is also a shame that smoking is allowed on the terrace; that really detracts from the delicious steak. Despite the hard work of the wait staff, it was still a disappointing experience.

Lovely location, beautiful view, and always friendly service! We come here often for the steak Bali lunch with a bread & butter Chardonnay.

I don't like steak. But they really do have good other options. Nice for a quick bite.

Beautiful location by the water (Noorderplassen). Just taking a coffee break... but unfortunately the cappuccino was disappointing. Too weak (couldn't taste the coffee). Better to buy a real espresso machine... Then more happy customers...
