Steakhouse Piet de Leeuw Amsterdam in De Weteringschans

I was here for my last dinner before returning home and I was totally mesmerised. With positive reviews, I booked it in advance as it’s always full on weekend. The ambience was astonishing. It offers a traditional Dutch menu and the horse steak is a must try!

The food was decent (main course better than the starter), but our experience was disappointing. We were asked to leave our table before ordering dessert because the next reservation was scheduled, which has never happened to us before. The restaurant was overcrowded and extremely noisy, making it difficult to enjoy our meal. There was barely any space to sit, and I struggled to cut my food because other guests were seated uncomfortably close—less than 30 cm away. Overall, the atmosphere was chaotic and did not allow for a pleasant dining experience.

Fantastic authentic Amsterdam steakhouse. Delicious food, fantastic service. Nice and busy.

We came here on the recommendation of our walking tour guide and we are so glad we did. The steaks were superb and the staff and atmosphere were brilliant- would highly recommend

Food and service was ok but for the cost the place looks a bit worn out and the tables are very small. Had a hard time to fit around it with a family of four

(H)honest food for a matching price. Most delicious carpaccio ever eaten and delicious steak with old-fashioned gravy. Hazes in the background. Old-fashioned Amsterdam atmosphere. Recommended!

For the best steak and other Amsterdam dishes, go to Piet de Leeuw. This is what I mean by old-fashioned steak with white casino bread that you can dip in the gravy. The location is an old favorite pub with very friendly Amsterdam staff, which I love as a former Amsterdammer.

A no-nonsense Amsterdam steakhouse. Coziness and friendliness come first here. The horse steak is highly recommended!

Traditional Amsterdam restaurant with delicious meat!

The service is very pleasant! The food is of great quality! The atmosphere is typical!

Amazing beyond words. And the nicest waiter in the country FRANK VAN DEN BERG

Cozy cozy tent, delicious meat dishes and good, fast service

Fine. No nonsense and just fun. A bit small seat, especially if you are with three adult men.

Great little restaurant that focuses on great quality food. We had the burger and were very happy with the choice. Fresh and great in taste. But the other food that we saw on the neighboring tables also looked really good. The atmosphere is quaint and small in size, but we still liked it. We will definitely reserve a table here the next time we visit Amsterdam.

We ate well and the service was excellent even though there were a lot of people. The only doubt is that it is perhaps a little expensive. For the rest I recommend it

Had a delicious horse steak here. Definitely come here every year and it's great every year!

Food was very good, we ordered burgers and ribeye. Service was ok and the place was really cosy. I was really disappointed with all those people in other tables shouting, yelling and laughing so loud.

Nuestra visita comenzó un poco preocupante ya que nuestra mesa no estaba lista (los comensales anteriores estaban llegando tarde) así que tuvimos que ir a un bar a la vuelta de la esquina durante 30 / 45 minutos. Una vez que volvimos fuimos muy bien atendidos por el personal amable y eficiente. La comida era excelente y grandes tamaños de porción, todos tuvimos una gran comida y las recomendaciones de vino eran geniales. Fue una comida encantadora llena y satisfactoria en un restaurante que obviamente era muy querido por los lugareños.

Un lugar maravilloso, el personal muy amable y ofreció ayuda y consejos. Estaba muy ocupado, pero, una buena señal. La comida era increíble. ¡Asegúrate de reservar!

Gold! I look forward to the expansions with fear and trembling, because Loetje has not done any good.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food. Nice no nonsense. In winter it is a bit cold at the door, but otherwise great!

Without a doubt one of the best steaks i've had along with a 10/10 sauce (horse steak & spicy sauce) - im coming back every time I visit Amsterdam

Delicious Amsterdam around the corner from my shop, horse steak is buttery soft.

Heel lastig parkeren, ossenhaas...leek echt meer op gewone biefstuk(van matige kwaliteit) , roodbaars...was die vers??? Bediening en entourage was prima. Nog eens terug...zie ik niet zo snel gebeuren

Piet de Leeuw is really for the oldies, a bit of a small place, but a nice glass of wine with a salad, steak and fries will do the oldies good.

Cosy, authentic, good atmosphere, excellent quality and service…. Recommended!

The horse meat steak was incredible! We'll most certainly be back

10/10, came here after strong recommendation by my uncle who had visited a few years back. Our group had delicious horse steaks. The staff is friendly and funny. We also had fun with the music selection, a very nice dinner overall.

Een heerlijke avond uit met heerlijk eten en geweldig gastvrije bediening. Altijd een feestje om hier een verjaardag te vieren. Hoewel zingen tijdens het eten eigenlijk niet hoort kun je het hier echt niet laten. 🎉

During our business trip, we had the chance to dine here, and while the food was excellent, what truly stood out for us was the Greek waiter. Her warm, cheerful demeanor and infectious joy will make everyone smile, leaving such a lasting impression that we'd love to return just for the experience.

When I was traveling, I saw many people dining here, so I sat down and ate~~It was delicious, the steak was really delicious~~😋😋😉😉

Had a nice evening and delicious food!

I came here with a friend based on google reviews, we came around 9PM. The waiter was super nice and friendly, the ambiance and vibes in the place were nice! He gave recommendations, and we ended up ordering the Beef Tenderloin steak with spicy gravy, and believe me, this was THE best steak I had in my life!! I travel alot and I tried steak all over the globe, the way it was cooked, the meat and the sauce, everything was top notch. Then we ordered the créme brûlée, another master piece!! Everything about this place was awesome, service, ambiance and food. I could return to Amsterdam again especially for it

An excellent cosy restaurant with hearty food and charismatic staff. It’s worth making a reservation to avoid disappointment as this is an understandably popular restaurant with locals and visitors. I’ll definitely be back again next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Wonderful Amsterdam atmosphere. Also delicious food! Highly recommended!

Having returned from a tour of the centre, we tried this restaurant. Excellent quality products, very tender beef fillet and wonderful spicy ribs!!! Good good good The price for quality and quantity was good, within the norm.

Close to the center but not so touristy, very good and quickly prepared steak. The waitress Anja was really sweet. 🤭

Deze zaak heeft alle ingrediënten voor een gezellige avond: een fijne sfeer, snelle en vriendelijke bediening, en heerlijk eten. Vooral de mosselen en de ossenhaas in pikante jus zijn echte aanraders. Ik kom hier zeker nog eens terug.

Very typical Dutch restaurant that my old neighbours took me too. The food was good however we did feel like we interrupted the waiter asking for things. Seemed like effort to get mustard

Piet de Leeuw great there. Delicious food and not expensive. Staff great. Nice Amsterdam humor. Would love to come there!!

Delicious and old-fashioned, very cozy.

Waited 2 hours (literally) for burnt butter with horse. Dramatic

I ate here solo after I was stranded at Schipol by my favourite Dutch airline. An absolute gem of a restaurant in a beautiful residential street, excellent service from what I presume is the third generation owner and wonderful food. Snails, steak and creme brulee washed down with plenty of pinot grigio and genever. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Will be back.

Piet de Leeuw is een klassiek Amsterdams eetcafé met de uitstraling en inrichting van een bruin café. Typisch Amsterdams met André Hazes op de achtergrond. De kaart is redelijk gevarieerd, en de bediening persoonlijk en attent. De zaak liep in de loop van de tijd goed vol, en dat heeft een belangrijke oorzaak: het heef gewoon een heel goed restaurant. Het eten smaakte zonder meer voortreffelijk. De Tournedos van het paard was heerlijk mals, en smaakte heel erg goed. Je voelt je er thuis en welkom.

Wonderful Amsterdam restaurant with friendly service and delicious food and beautiful weather too!

Slightly expensive but very delicious traditional horse tenderloin, perhaps the best in Amsterdam. Had good expectations going in and they exceeded it, the tenderloin was tender (no shock there) and very flavorful. The accompanying fries were average, but the main more than made up for it. Lovely and quick service too!

The food at Piet de Leeuw is always good, but the atmosphere that the staff manages to create takes it to a higher level. 10/10

Top tent. Service always great!

An amazing place for amazing food and friendly homelike service

The best food we had in Amsterdam on our three day stay, the staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was good, simple but nice tasting. I loved the mayo, the staff even provided suggestions of various mayos I could buy to bring home.

I visited here after one year, I woke up this morning with dreaming horse steak with gorgonzola sauce for my dinner, actually I was dreaming about it since yesterday. However! They stopped Gorgonzola sauce!!!!! Impossible!!! Make the steak great again with Gorgonzola! Of course steak itself is still great, but, I want to treat myself with that sauce!!!!!!! Please!

I was in this restaurant for dinner. It was rather good, but we waited too long for our food. Besides, I asked to exclude bell peppers from the vegetables plate and still there were bell peppers The steaks were really good

We had steak and hamburger, with chips and salad. It was all delicious. Together with malbec wine and beer it was 68 euro and worth every cent. Lovely people, great hospitality We will be back!

Ristorante tipico a pochi passi dal centro. Comodo e vicino al nostro Hotel Prinsengracht. Pietanze tipiche e ottimi filetti, serviti nel loro sugo di cottura. Patatine fritte notevoli. Tavolini piccoli ma sufficienti. Personale molto gentile.

The food was good. The portion of meat for many may seem small for the price. Served with potatoes and salad to share.

We walked 30 mins to eat here. Great Place great food

Best steakhouse in Amsterdam...great food and amazing service

Had a great meal and celebrated my eldest son's birthday.

Soooo delicious. Like...SOOOO DELICIOUS. By far the most memorabel Carpaccio i have ever had (and will ever have)

Super fun thing! Delicious food and what attentive and wonderful service!!! Good price/quality. Recommended!

Serveurs super sympas, l’un deux a même parlé un peu avec nous en français et c’est appréciable, cuisine excellente pour les grands comme pour les petits, cadre agréable.

Super friendly waiters, one of them even spoke a little with us in French and that was appreciated, excellent food for adults and children alike, pleasant setting.

Excellent horse tips eaten in a matching Andre Hazes atmosphere. Recommended for those looking for something different.

Great atmosphere in this steakhouse. Servers were very attentive and food was delicious and came out in reasonable time.

We booked online but were unable to eat there because there were too many people, very disappointed by the organization!

Horrible experience. I experienced racial micro aggression when I dined there. I was the only Asian there and conveniently the only table not being served. I attempted to get their attention multiple times and each time I was blatantly ignored and watched as other tables who came after mine get served. The other tables were conveniently people who were not of colour. Also the steak wasn’t great either . Boo

Dim and cozy atmosphere. A bit hidden and away from the main tourist spots, but worth a detour. Very good steak and overall a good selection of dishes. Recommended

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff and selection of dishes. The meatballs and tenderloin with gravy were very tasty! :-)

Nice old-fashioned Amsterdam restaurant with good quality meat.

A wonderful meal. In a special atmosphere. It's a bit loud, but that's part of it. An absolute insider tip.

Not a single thing wrong. Everything was amazing. Down to the texture of the egg slices in the salad. About to have the lava cake. Haven’t gotten yet. I bet it’s good….. It was

Kind, friendly staff, pleasant service, good old-fashioned Dutch comfort food. Not touristy. Extra compliment and thanks to the staff who ran outside to give me my mobile phone which I had left behind.

The nicest brown cafe in Amsterdam, always delicious food!

Satisfied 😊 WHO said they were racist, i didn’t feel anything but only the great food! MUST try the horse meat and the fillet!

Incredibly RACIST staff, avoid at all costs, would give 0 stars if I could, food was so mid too

After a day at Albert Cuyp, we had a nice dinner at Piet de Leeuw. What a delicious steak! The staff is also very nice and the atmosphere is very Amsterdam. I will definitely come back here more often!

It remains a very cozy restaurant, with delicious steak and friendly service. Highly recommended!

The best horse steak in Amsterdam.. A pearl in the city. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Old-fashioned fun!

One of my all time favorite restaurants for close to 25 years! The recent menu updates are much appreciated, so much good stuff to explore. Big fan of the witty - ‘Amsterdam’ - sense of humor of the staff members. Restaurant Piet de Leeuw, Chapeau!

Food was fine, nothing special. Staff was very surly, when I had finished my carpaccio but not the toast that came with it, the waiter said extremely grumpily: Next time, why not have less toast? , and then walked away very angry. The other waitress didn't say nice evening, or anything at all after paying. The food was otherwise fine, nothing special

One of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam. Great atmosphere, tasty food, well priced. A very enjoyable evening.

Delicious food ! Top service with a joke and a joke!! Thanks again!!

What a treat to dine with the family in this traditional Amsterdam restaurant. By the way, this wasn't the first time and certainly won't be the last time

Unique 'old school' location in Amsterdam. Informal, somewhat noisy. Order fried sole in advance!

Very friendly service, just a cozy place

Good service although slightly slow, we were in the restaurant for two hours, the environment is very warm and nice. We ate some ribs, a fillet and some bread as an appetizer.

We were fortunate to stumble across this place on a Sunday evening with our 5 and 7 year old. The clientele was all adults but we were still made to feel welcome, the staff were made us all laugh. The decor was charming, but most importantly the food was delicious. Turns out it is a very well known place so we were very lucky to have stumbled across it.

Nice tent. Delicious meat and friendly service!!

Delicious steak, nice beer and a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Delicious food but now very pricey!

Great food, but a bit of a long wait. Excellent service, friendly and relaxed. Only the noise level... Why are people always shouting at the table in the Netherlands?

Delicious food, but make sure you make a reservation, even during the week. Recommended

We had a delicious meal at Piet de Leeuw. The ambiance, service and food were absolutely great. I give 4 stars because I think it is overpriced, especially the starter (fish palette) and the steak trimmings.

This is a gem. Go for the Horse straight away.

Outside the tourist circuit. Excellent and well served food. The meat is soooo good and very tender (one of the best I've ever eaten). The sauce is the house's secret and don't forget to ask for bread at the end to dip in the broth. I recommend it with your eyes closed

Old brown restaurant where the authentic Amsterdam atmosphere reigns. Food is very good, large portions and the service with Amsterdam humor makes it complete.

It was just like old times! Very good, haven't been here in a while but have been coming here since 1995.

Very pleasant and cozy restaurant, very tasty and perfect beef steak with the same side dishes, very friendly and attentive service. We would be happy to visit the Piet de Leeuw steakhouse again. Thank you very much!

Heerlijk gegeten! ossenhaas was precies goed gebakken. Ook het personeel is erg vriendelijk. aanrader!

Weer lekker gegeten en gezellig gezeten.
