Loetje Enschede in Wijk 00 Binnensingelgebied

We had a high table with high chairs, but when they saw that there was someone with a walker, we immediately got another table. And the service all evening was prompt, cheerful, and attentive. Together with the excellent food, this made it a very pleasant experience.

We had a delicious meal, but it seemed the heating wasn't on. Also, both the chosen starter and main course were out of stock. We had to wait a long time for the starter, but the time between the starter and main course was too short. The main course arrived after 5 minutes; there should have been a bit more time between them. The staff deserves praise. They were very friendly and came to the table regularly.

There really should be an ashtray outside; right now the butts are lying on the ground in front of the steps, which is a shame. That's why 4 stars instead of 5.

We had a table for two straight ahead upon entering. However, due to the layout, one of us could look across the entire restaurant while the other was only facing the wall. Now, that isn't a huge problem, but if the table had been rotated a quarter turn, the arrangement would have been more pleasant. When the shrimp cocktail was served, the sauce was missing. But after asking, it was brought immediately. With the main course, the steak (because why else would you go to Loetje?), we received fries that we hadn't ordered, but no bread. After asking for bread, we received it immediately, and we were allowed to keep the fries after all and didn't have to pay. (And indeed, they weren't on the bill). The time between courses was fine, and the friendliness of the staff was top-notch. Worth repeating.

Bad atmosphere, the steak is good but the rest is too simple; it really just depends on what you're used to.

We had made a reservation. It wasn't busy, but severely understaffed. We waited 25 minutes for our first order, which was drinks. After that, things went smoothly and quickly. The chairs were very uncomfortable for sitting on and enjoying a leisurely dinner; the location is nice, but the large spaces lack atmosphere. We won't be visiting Loetje Enschede a second time.

The food was good, the service was top-notch.

Nice restaurant! Had a delicious meal! I just felt we got way too much bread with the steak, large slices of white bread. Something more subtle would have been more appropriate. The service was incredibly nice, great interaction with the guests! Hats off to you!

Nice ambiance and friendly service!

Last time, unfortunately, I had a bad experience with two rather rude waitresses. Fortunately, this time it was a completely different experience. We were served by a young man who did his absolute best to make everyone happy. Friendly, attentive, and hospitable. It's nice to see that it can be done this way too! As a result, we had a much more pleasant experience this time.

We had an amazing time. The food was exceptional. The steak was perfectly cooked and the Loetje gravy didn’t disappoint. The chairs are a tad uncomfortable, and considering the amazing Loetje gravy, I would expect a higher quality bread served with the meal. Store bought white bread which had a very tough crust didn’t complement the meal. I will return

Great location when you want meat.

Had a very tasty meal, the traditional steak was delicious! Didn't have to wait long and the service was very friendly!

Stunning location in Enschede. Spacious layout and friendly staff. We were there on Monday around five-thirty, so it was nice and quiet. We had made a reservation in advance, though, because we know it can get busy at Loetje. We had a delicious meal: Steak Balie and Steak Balie salad with fries. We finished with a delicious Cappuccino. A top-notch restaurant, really worth a visit.

The food was super tasty, as always. The service was okay, but most of the staff lack enthusiasm. They aren't addressed in a customer-oriented manner, they don't pay much attention to the tables, and above all: those long faces. Not all of them, mind you, but on a few of them, the reluctance is written all over their faces. On top of that, this really isn't the coziest Loetje location out there. That's why we prefer going to Gorssel from the region.

Excellent service and food alike; delicious meat with all 5 dishes. Well cooked! Tasty fries. Service attentive and drinks brought quickly. Lemonade is delicious if you don't want water or alcohol. Desserts were sweet and rich, but everything was finished. I would go back here in a heartbeat. We sat in a round alcove with a bench; a good spot for up to 7 people maximum.

Use the AH Lunch Deal. The food itself was fine, but there was no atmosphere in an empty place; that might also be due to the time of day. The staff could liven up the experience a bit, but unfortunately, they didn't.

We had a delicious meal with our guests. One comment was made: the steak (as well as the tuna) was served somewhat unimaginatively. Unfortunately, there were few fellow guests, which made the room feel a bit empty.

Steak, that was supposed to be the specialty... I found it very mediocre.

Brilliantly tasty fried egg on nice fresh bread for an acceptable price

Eating at Loetje means a steak swimming in gravy, with few extras, for a hefty price. The location by the Volkspark is nice, though.

Food was absolutely terrible and very expensive. 27.5 euro for a steak without any sides and a waiter who wants to walk away halfway through a drinks order. Orders were missed multiple times, but an additional portion was charged on the bill. Dessert was also forgotten. Waiter was rude, ignored my table, and straight up passive aggressive. We paid a lot of money for subpar food: steak was super salty, cauliflower bites still frozen inside, and unseasoned mushrooms were served on a separate plate with two plain pieces of white bread. It was very strange. We got told off about wanting plant milk even though we called upfront to ensure they could cater to vegans. We were very confused when this didn’t seem possible when we got to the venue. Absolutely will NEVER go back. The venue looks nice but don’t let it up your expectations.

Enjoying coffee on the terrace with delicious apple pie and a view over the park.

We eat here regularly. The food is always good and tasty. Unfortunately, the service during our last visit was exceptionally poor. We had to wait a very long time for the dessert kart and were "forgotten" several times by the same waiter. When I asked for a spoon, we were brought a decaf coffee, and desserts during the main course. Very strange and a shame.

We used to come here regularly; the service has really deteriorated. It's a real shame.

Tasty food. Price of side dishes very expensive

After 8 years, we were guests at your place again last night, all the way from Friesland. A quiet Monday evening, enjoying a lovely meal outside with the same menu as the first time. Everything was well taken care of and we had a pleasant conversation with one of your staff members. What a fantastic location it really is. And what a shame that your outdoor areas, with their borders and planters, look so neglected. It really detracts from the image you want to project. Advice: claim monthly maintenance from management once everything has been properly refurbished. Good luck with it, greetings from Friesland.

Mistake after mistake. - We had to ask twice if our table could be cleared. - 5 slices of bread for 4 people; asked twice if we could get extra bread. Extra bread arrived after 10 minutes. Unfortunately, the gravy was cold. - Ordered the classic 3 times and the small once; the waiter indicated that the kitchen had made a mistake, because we received the classic 4 times. It would be corrected on the bill. Later it turned out that we simply paid for 4 classic steaks. - The 2nd round of drinks arrived at the same time as the bill. A bit late! We come here regularly, but this was a really bad experience.

Last week, we ate at Loetje for the second week in a row. There was a problem with the food, but it was resolved more than excellently. The service was friendly. We will definitely be back. Delicious food, although next time I will order the sauce separately.

Fast and good service, and the food is, as always, delicious and of good quality. The steak, in particular, is truly amazing. Nowhere is it as tasty as here. Moreover, the surroundings within the Volkspark are very beautiful. In the summer, the view is stunning.

Steak as steak should be. Dessert was also very tasty 😋

We had a gift voucher worth no less than 100 euros, but it turned out to be expired. We didn't know this because there was no date on it. Loetje was completely unwilling to compromise and referred us to their house rules. They were inflexible, any leniency proved impossible, and everything was handled in a cold and impersonal manner. They earned their money without delivering anything in return. Dramatically bad customer service!!! What an impersonal, customer-unfriendly company!!!

Delicious steak and chicken liver.

Was ok. The ossenhaas was just ok. Kipsate not great. Service a little slow. Lovely park.

Had a delicious lunch with a large group; the service was very quick and friendly. And it is also a beautiful location.

On July 15th, we dined at your restaurant with 8 people. Due to some car trouble, we arrived late, but were still welcomed. A few points of attention. The waiter almost dropped a steak while serving; the plate was crooked, and gravy spilled on my bag and on the floor. No apology; he corrected it quickly and I think we didn't notice. That was bad enough. But then he served the steak and wiped the edge where the gravy had spilled with HIS FINGER, then wiped it off on his apron. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. Additionally, my extra gravy was "forgotten"—that can happen—but the nice guy said, "I could ask the chef to make a pot, but that would take a while," so I said, "Never mind, because by then my steak would be cold." Next, the mushrooms were "forgotten," and we mentioned that. He came back with 2 (?) Portions of mushrooms and said... "Yes, these were from another table, but they can just wait a bit." Next, we mentioned that there were onions on the table that we hadn't ordered, and when we asked if they could just take them off the bill, his colleague said, "Oh, luckily they're just small onions." This comes across as, "Oh, it's only xx euros." No one can decide whether that is a lot or a little money for people, right? Maybe we had to save up for a very long time for this dinner... This is a shame. The whole place was almost empty, so it wasn't because it was mega busy. Both my husband and my son work in the hospitality industry, so I have more than respect for the hard work. However, when something like this happens, you always treat the customers with respect, offer a brief apology, clear the plate (in that situation), and clean the plate neatly with a clean cloth and say sorry. Or you take it to the kitchen and correct it, because the gravy was immediately much less good as well. Food 4 stars, because the steak and the gravy were still very "light." And so things didn't go quite right. Otherwise, a beautiful location! We went again today and had a delicious meal. I gave the points for 2 evenings. Spent 800 euros at Loetje in 2 evenings; we are big fans. But try not to do this...

Very disappointing experience. After dinner at Loetje, we wanted to pay with a gift card. To our surprise, it was not accepted. No expiry date was stated on the gift card itself. Fortunately, the employee understood the situation and contacted his manager. We were subsequently told that they could not do anything about it at that moment and that we had to contact headquarters. It was indicated that this would likely be easily resolved. The next day, I contacted customer service. There, I was told that, according to their system, the gift card had expired a few days earlier. Because the expiry date was registered internally, I received no refund or compensation. However, the problem is that this expiry date was not stated anywhere on the gift card itself. As a customer, it is impossible to know when a card expires if that information is not visible. What disappoints me most is that the thinking is primarily commercial and not from the customer's perspective. Given the circumstances, there was ample opportunity to offer a customer-friendly solution. Instead, internal rules were strictly adhered to, while the information on the gift card itself was incomplete. For us, this is a reason not to return. There are plenty of restaurants where customer satisfaction does come first.

Super beautiful little cafe in the heart of Enschede! The natural surroundings of the Volkspark make Loetje an ideal stop for a break. The extensive menu and options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks make Loetje a perfect destination for all occasions. With modern indoor spaces and green outdoor areas, Loetje offers plenty of options, just as many as the friendly staff. So, weather permitting, you can enjoy your break indoors or outdoors.

Very disappointing experience. Upon arrival, we asked if we could sit at another table where there were only two empty glasses. The waitress said she had to clean that table first and that we were therefore better off staying at the other table. We did not consider that hospitable. The staff was unfriendly and chaotic. We ordered one crème brûlée, but two were brought to the table. We immediately sent one back because we hadn't ordered it. However, it turned out afterwards that we had paid for two crème brûlées. We only discovered this after we had left, meaning we paid too much. Additionally, it took a long time for the food to arrive and for the dirty plates to be cleared. No more Loetje for us.

Terribly bad, expensive, and only open until 9 pm. Lights went out. We were there around 7 pm; you walked through an empty room, had to go to a reception desk, and were served after waiting 11 minutes. Very hospitable indeed. We were seated at a very small table in pink lighting. It was cold and very uninviting. The starter arrived immediately; we hadn't even finished it yet when the main course arrived. Poor quality, small portions, and we were rushed out at the end—the lights went out! We didn't know that the restaurant closed at 9 pm on late-night shopping evenings (Thursday). Afterward, garbage bags were dragged all over the floor. That was really unacceptable. Very unprofessional, and what restaurant closes at 9 pm? Then don't host people for dinner.

Friendly welcome. We had a truly delicious meal; both the fish and the steak were excellent. The food was served quickly. Pleasantly cool inside, even with 37 degrees outside. Friendly staff. The only criticism is that our drinks arrived when the dessert was already finished and the salad and fries plates hadn't been cleared yet. Otherwise, top-notch and definitely a place to come back to.

The food is very tasty. Service is inconsistent. Sometimes very good and prompt, other times a really long wait for someone to come.

The very first time I ever ate at a Loetje was here. This was not long after they had opened. The carpaccio was tasty, but I wasn't impressed with the meat; even before I had finished half of it, the ‘gravy’ had dried up like curdled cooking butter in an old pan. Not very appetizing. And I didn't like the whole Loetje concept at all. After this, I went to Loetje in Gorssel a few times, where I didn't have this experience, so I thought maybe it was just a bad day. After all, I'm from Enschede, so I'd rather drive 5 minutes than 50. The second time here was also a very disappointing experience. The table was in a very uninviting corner with uncomfortable chairs, and the temperature wasn't very pleasant either. Additionally, the food was lukewarm (fries and meat), and it took a long time for everything to arrive; finally, the taste just wasn't the same as at the other location. And then you would think third time's the charm, because yes, I went here again, also for a birthday, so not my choice, but anyway, we'll play along. And once again, it was one big disappointment. The meat was lukewarm again and instead of medium rare, it was simply cooked blue; no wonder it was lukewarm then, of course. I like my meat on the rare side, but this just made me nauseous. Also, the food was served in a strange order, meaning one half had had their food sitting for a while before the other half arrived (group size 5 people). All in all, very disappointing at this place, and after giving it 3 chances, I won't be coming back. If you want good quality, you have to go a bit further, but then you really get what you pay for.

Last Saturday, as we do every year the weekend after King's Day, we went out for dinner with a group of 6. We ordered two glasses of Chardonnay. The waitress kindly explained the options: a French or a Californian. The Californian wine tasted so bad that I thought it was past its expiration date. I drink wine regularly and I really didn't like it. Everyone at the table tried it, and no one liked it. I mentioned this to the waitress, after which the waitress indicated that several guests had sent this wine back earlier. She went to consult and came back with the message that they could remove one glass from the bill because it was supposedly a matter of "taste." We found that a disappointing response. Even more striking was that another employee later told me that "he thought it was delicious and that I just need to develop some taste." I found that quite inappropriate. The waitress herself was otherwise friendly and nice, but this whole state of affairs made the evening less enjoyable for us. A shame, because we have enjoyed coming here for years. Unfortunately, we are choosing a different restaurant next year.

Nice staffs I can say different flavors of foods but overall in a good way I expected to sit outdoor with sun but even in sunny day there was no sun there

Thanks to Noortje. She is a very friendly and helpful waitress!

I had been looking forward to eating at Loetje so much; everything was fine and good... until my girlfriend and I both ordered a Coke but received the wrong drink. All I said was, "I ordered a Coke." Apparently, the waitress couldn't handle that and started yelling at me in the middle of the restaurant, telling me that I could just indicate that in a "normal" way. When he came back with the Coke, I asked him if he always has that attitude towards customers. And then he started raising his voice again, saying that he mirrors his behavior with customers (so he meant me). My entire appetite, experience, and atmosphere were ruined. Well, Loetje, that's really not how you keep customers, because I'm never coming back here if I can't even indicate what the correct order was without being personally attacked. The young man didn't come back to serve our table either... if you can get that emotional as a waitress, you'd be better off quitting your job. I was just asking for my Coke; I wasn't trying to treat you as inferior or anything like that. It's not that difficult to just indicate that something went wrong and that you will pick up the right drink. What a shame, what a shame, what a shame.

the steak tartare was of very average quality, the lemonade was very delicious, the place was lovely

The food was warm and tasty. As expected at Loetje. Nice location and easy parking. Service could be better; we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and they forgot about us several times when taking our drinks and dessert orders. Once the order was placed, it was served quickly.

It was great, the staff very nice

Cold steak, swimming in a puddle of greasy mess supposed to pass for gravy. Served on a cold plate, causing the lukewarm steak to cool down even faster. "Otherwise the steak will keep cooking, sir…" If serving steak is your core business and you don't have this under control, then there is something wrong with your concept. Furthermore, a small bowl of greasy and far too salty fries and a container of salad dressing in which, after a good search, a few lettuce leaves could still be found. Smoked salmon as a starter was okay; steak tartare was a lump of glorified steak tartare, but less tasty. Add two beers and just like that, 124 euros poorer. Fortunately, the Volkspark in Enschede is a venue with history and atmosphere, but even so, they will never see me back here. Bad. Very bad.

Delicious food and excellent service!

The red host is highly recommended

The food was fantastic! The service was very friendly and helpful. It's not a quick meal, but what you get is fantastic 😍 Plus: free parking right outside!! I'll definitely be back. PS!! Spicy food in restaurants isn't usually spicy. The Balinese juice here is! Be warned. I thought it was absolutely delicious 🤤

Everything was covered in an extra layer of salt. But the service was fast.

We were there on a Tuesday evening. The place was half full, and the interior was empty and chilly. We had to wait a very long time for service, but we soon discovered this was because they hadn't anticipated the crowd. The starter came for one of the two people, and the other arrived 10 or 15 minutes later. The main course was cold, and we'd waited so long that we just accepted it. We ended up skipping dessert because we didn't want to wait any longer. We certainly don't blame the staff for this, but I wouldn't recommend anyone go there. The atmosphere is simply not cozy or pleasant, and the food isn't as special as it once was.

The steak was delicious, but the sauce (sambal gravy) was like a jar of salt, and I refused to eat it; it was truly inedible. The fries were completely covered in a BUMP of mayonnaise, which should have been served separately for diners who prefer not to have mayonnaise; I had no choice. The salad wasn't much, but thankfully it was tasty. €90 for two people was far too expensive for a glorified cafeteria menu. The service was friendly, but the ambiance was like traveling back 50 years in time—absolutely not exciting. All in all, a waste of time and a waste of money. A complete waste of time to ever go back there... And judging by other reviews on other sites, we could have saved ourselves this. So, it's our own fault for an unpleasant evening.

The food was delicious, the service good, and the atmosphere pleasant. I will definitely be back!

The food was delicious and well-prepared. Table service was good.

Great restaurant in a comfortable atmosphere. Good vibe and professional and friendly staff. Food is great, especially the sambal and garlic steaks. The cook on the steak is perfect. Seating in separate booths and tables is much more comfortable than on the bigger couches (if you get a chance to give a preference for either).

The food was delicious, and the homemade iced tea was also very good. The staff was friendly, but sometimes it took a while to get served. It was a Saturday evening, and it was quite busy.

We had a wonderful meal at Loetje Enschede! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, exactly what you'd expect from Loetje. The steak was perfectly prepared and, of course, generously served with that signature jus—it remains a favorite. The service was friendly, prompt, and clearly attentive to the guests. The location is also great: spacious and ideal for both dinner with friends and a night out. This is the kind of place you'll want to come back for. 🥩😋

Delicious food, beautiful restaurant, and cozy atmosphere. Riky Eleuteri

Good quality food. Not many surprises though

Such a waste of money. I don't know what happened to Loetje, but it's nothing like it used to be. The service was incredibly poor and expensive. On a Saturday night, they closed at 9:30 PM, and the food tasted awful. Not a great evening for such a huge amount of money; I felt completely unwelcome. Such a shame for such a beautiful location.

Half of my break wasted because they don't open according to the times they indicate

Super good steak and delicious dessert.

Loetje Enschede is our local spot and it has never disappointed us. The food is always great, but it’s the service that truly stands out. The waitress even remembered us from months ago. It is the perfect place for a relaxed evening with good food and a glass of proper South African wine. Also lovely to visit in the Autumn when the Volkspark is at its most beautiful.

Last night I went to dinner at Loetje with a friend. It was great that we could arrive half an hour early after a phone call. We even asked if we could have a quiet spot, and they accommodated us. Everything was already in a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. We were quickly and friendly assisted, and the service was quick and very welcoming. The food was delicious and looked beautiful and well-presented. For dessert, we had a delicious cream puff with ice cream. One minor drawback was that the meat was lukewarm, but the flavor was excellent. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful location in the Volkspark, nice atmosphere, and friendly service. Delicious food too.

The food was top-notch, as was the service. Personally, I find the price a bit on the high side, but the quality of the food is simply very good.

Unfortunately, even though we enjoy eating there, it seems to be very complicated to place a "reserved" sign on a table when you make a reservation. With all sorts of strange excuses and reasons, they indicate in Enschede that this is simply not possible. So reserving and asking for a specific table is pointless! The only thing you know (almost) for sure when you reserve is that you will be assigned a seat. Is this when you are overtaken by your name of success and therefore feel that you no longer have to do certain things (which are possible almost everywhere, like reserving a table)? We will go to another "Loetje" where we can actually reserve a table and our wishes are truly honored. Good luck, but I don't think you can treat (regular) customers like that. Really a disappointment here in Enschede!!! The customer is king, if they behave like royalty! But unfortunately, not here. Regards, Fam Steenbergen

They serve the best steak here at Loetje, and the service is also damn great

An experience I never want to have again, what bad, what bad food was cold even when they put it on the table for the second time when I said I was done with it, they brought it for a third time after putting it in the microwave for a minute. I will go to McDonald's, the food is better than here.

Great lunch at Loetje. We ordered a variety of sandwiches and we all were very happy. I had the best crunchy chicken with miso sauce. We dined outside; lovely atmosphere. Our waitress could have been a bit more welcoming but overall, a wonderful experience.

Price quality ratio not very good

There was no host or hostess in sight, and no guests at the tables. It was incredibly quiet upon arrival! After waiting several minutes at the entrance, we finally spoke to someone who told us to find a table ourselves. We ordered drinks and food and indicated that we had an appointment and could continue with our meal. This was no problem. Drinks were brought promptly. After a 45-minute wait (and no service in sight), still no food, so we searched for the waiter. The waiter was once again chatting with friends on the other side of the restaurant. The waiter inquired with the chef, who had forgotten to tell us what to do, so we had to wait even longer. We finally received two steaks, one of which was fine. Nothing special, but not bad either. The other tasted absolutely awful. The gravy was burnt, and the meat was burnt and tasted absolutely awful. We complained to the waiter and then had to leave due to other commitments. Never again for Loetje!

Our first visit to Loetsje turned out to be a disappointment. We had a reservation for 5:30 pm, and when we arrived the restaurant wasn’t very crowded. Our drinks came quickly, and we ordered nuggets with fries for our child. As a starter for ourselves, we ordered carpaccio. The waiter brought us two plates and, when they arrived, we asked if our child’s meal could be served faster since he was already hungry. The waiter kindly said “of course” and left. However, our food only arrived about half an hour later (past 7:00 pm), and our child’s meal came right after. Whether the food quality was worth the wait is debatable, but we definitely didn’t enjoy the experience. The service was extremely slow, and even when it came to paying, we were kept waiting. The waiter politely asked if everything was okay, and I explained our dissatisfaction. She mentioned it was a misunderstanding. While I can’t fault the waiter’s kindness, the service and overall quality were disappointing.

This Loetje has a beautiful location and is also very nicely decorated. The terrace is also highly recommended. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and very quick.

Hugely disappointing. Very little choice if you don't like steak. You can choose vegetarian, a few unusual options, mini salads, a poke bowl with cheap ingredients, or chicken satay skewers. The latter was tasty, but very simple and small, especially considering the price. Loetje uses a lot of tricks to squeeze as much money out of you as possible, but that alone spoiled the fun for me. High prices are okay if the food is good and the portions aren't too small, and please, no tricks. For example, they deliberately omit euro signs, and you order side dishes separately at high prices. If you want sambal jus, you pay an extra €2 for a spoonful. If you feel ripped off, you'll never go back. This is the most expensive restaurant in Enschede, so for these prices, you can choose from any restaurant; there are plenty of good alternatives in Enschede!

A truly beautiful location! The food and service were excellent! Definitely recommended.

The park offers a beautiful view from the terrace. The food was reasonable, a bit too greasy for us, with a lot of gravy and tasteless. Initially, the service was excellent, but after the third and fourth glasses, we had to wait, which was resolved promptly.

Heerlijk eten gehad, hele leuke sfeer alles binnen was top. Wouden we na de tijd nog een drankje doen in Enschede centraal dus de auto laten staan, komen we terug is de parkeerplaats afgesloten en moet ik mijn auto laten staan. Staat nergens aangegeven tot hoelaat de parkeerplaats open is.

Definitely the best steak I've ever had. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The just with white bread is also super tasty! And very nice staff.

Delicious steak and attentive staff. Recommended.

Were here for the first time, nice staff and good food. Only negative point, music could be a bit softer.

Beautiful historic building (restaurant), delicious food.

On Sunday around half past two we came in. It was very quiet at that time. We immediately got the impression that the staff did not enjoy their work because of the many tables that were still full of plates, cutlery and food leftovers from previous guests. Waited 20 minutes until someone was at our table for the first time. The meat on the sandwiches was floating in the fat. For us the first and last time loetje enschede.

The food was delicious. The interior could use an update. It could all be a bit more atmospheric.

Friendly staff. Steak was great.

We had a great meal at Loetje in Enschede. Our reservation was at 5:00 PM. That gave us plenty of choice of places. We sat in the conservatory by the window (back of the building). For us, the chairs were a bit less, but that is personal of course. The food was great. A steak tartare as a starter. Great taste and also a large portion! The steak bali is recommended. Please note that the steak is served in a plate full of gravy. If you don't want that, ask for the gravy separately! We will definitely come back.

Entered through an uninviting entrance, pointed to a recently used table that smelled of rotten eggs. Helped by noticeably unmotivated staff. The first plates that were put down were not for us, and were simply put down a few tables further after a few minutes (yuck). The meat was soft and tender, but the gravy was excessively salty. Amazing if you can still taste meat at all. All the salty food made me thirsty and ordered a drink that was then not brought. Service is inhospitable, slow and messy. The atmosphere is lousy, uninviting. It was our first time at Loetje, but definitely also the last time

Beautiful location, pleasant service and especially delicious food, we were with 9 people, and we all agreed that this was not the last time for us, Some references are neither here nor there, if we had wanted to drink for an evening, we would have gone to a pub, if you order a steak with gravy, you also get gravy, and that is how it is on the menu! When I read the references in advance I thought oh oh, But with some references you really do Loetje an injustice. All praise for the chef and the service, and keep up the good work, it was great, and see you soon Mvg Erik

Extremely bad service, we waited a long time until we got a table, while many staff members were already walking past us but they did not help us. It then took a very long time for them to request drinks and it was not busy, so we ordered drinks via the QR, then someone came and told us that we had ordered via the QR, but that was not good because according to the system we were on the other side of the building. The food is tasty, but very little for what you pay. 40 euros for a 300 gram steak, not normal!!!! Then a dessert with praise that it is tasty and then ask if it is strong because we didn't have much room left, but it did look tasty. And she had never tasted it before, she then said. So it's all very strange. All portions very small and extremely expensive. This was my second time and this was also a 2nd attempt because my first experience was much worse. In my opinion, not recommended, at least not in Enschede.

Pretty okay, but could be even better: Since Loetje opened in Enschede, I have been there once before. This was a mediocre experience, but since it was a new restaurant I thought it was unfair to leave a review. Unfortunately, after more than a year, everything has not changed. I remember very well that a year ago I had to wait half an hour for drinks and had to pick up my own cutlery for dinner, but today exactly the same thing happened again. It is not the fault of the staff but clearly the management, the staff are friendly and do their best. But there was 1 person serving the terrace with perhaps 50 customers. Customers at the table next to us also had to pick up cutlery themselves and walk to the bar to order something to drink, because otherwise it would take too long. The food itself was tasty, but I thought the gravy contained a lot of oil to the point that the gravy was more green/yellowish than brown in the middle of the plate. The leaves of the lettuce were really gigantic, in my opinion they could have been a bit smaller. But the steak was well prepared and really medium rare. A huge plus: a great terrace outside.

We visited Loetje for the first time and had mixed feelings about the experience. The service was friendly, but seemed rushed and not always attentive. For example, we had to beckon twice before the first drink and after the main course before anyone responded. The burrata starter was tasty, but the eel seemed to come straight from the package and the tartare was very large. Clumsy. The steak was tender, but unfortunately not well prepared. Medium was actually raw, and the raw-medium variety was only seared. The sauce was way too salty for all of us; sprinkled too liberally with the salt shaker. Unfortunately, this was not compensated with, for example, a cup of coffee or another gesture. For the high price of the meat (195 grams), we also thought it was poor that you had to pay more than €3.50 extra for a bowl of apple sauce (not compote, as stated on the menu). The fries and sweet potato, also on the pricey side, were limply fried and noticeably saltless, which was almost ironic after the salty sauce. The dessert was generous and okay, but it wasn't good enough to make us come back. After that there was no more staff to serve a drink. All in all a once in a lifetime experience for us.

Met z'n tweeën naar een buitenafplek genavigeerd. Waren nog veel gezellige plekken. Werden aan een schoon gemaakte natte tafel geplaatst. Fles wijn besteld. Blijkt met glazen ben je goedkoper uit (raar). Eten besteld geen brood bij geserveerd. Salade besteld. Niet ontvangen. Biefstuk was goed ondanks deze afgekoeld lauw was. Met honger gevoel naar huis. Als compensatie. Fles water inkoop 65 cent gratis. Kost op de kaart 6.50. Bediening bijna niet gezien. Klinkt negatief, is het ook je betaald de hoofdprijs. Niet voor herhaling.

Heel kort maar krachtig: Waardeloos vlees Waardeloze bediening Overdreven duur voor wat je krijgt en waar je zit. Het vlees zwom in een bad van vet en boter, smaakte naar absoluut niets behalve verbrande boter en was ondanks het (te) rode midden net een stuk leer. Verder vind ik voor de prijs de presentatie van het eten lachwekkend, het is gewoon een blok vlees in een bad van boter. Heb ik al gezegd dat er meer boter dan wat anders op mn bord lag? Bediening was meer bezig met haar vriendjes aan de tafel er naast en wij moesten maar wachten want ze was nog aan het kletsen. Na het eten allebei hartstikke misselijk en uiteindelijk kwam alles er zo weer uit. Nadietijd maar als troost naar de mcdonalds, zelfs dat was beter

We hadden 6 weken van te voren gereserveerd omdat we in de buurt op vakantie waren. Nog 2x een herinnering via de mail ontvangen, komem we daar aan op 30 april krijgen we te horen dat de manager te weinig personeel heeft ingeroosterd zodat er wachttijden van een uur waren voordat je eten klaar zou zijn. We zijn toen net zoals meerdere klanten weggegaan. We zijn al in heel wat Loetjes geweest maar dit nog nooit meegemaakt. Nu we de recenties lezen is dit al een langere tijd aan de gang. Zonde dat je z'on leuke zaak zo om zeep helpt.

It was actually disappointing. Messy operation. Food took way too long. Forgot fries, wrong steak and they rarely came by for a drink. Had to wait more than an hour for a steak in a plate of fat (no gravy!). And it wasn't even busy. You can't argue with overtaste, the steak is otherwise fine, but that plate of fat was really overdone. Expected more for that money.
