    Juicy steak, perfectly cooked. Hot, crunchy bitterballen with creamy insides. Yummy sauteed mushrooms. I think they drizzled a lot of oil on the meat and 'shrooms, but they were tasty. They didn't play any music, which could have added to the ambiance. But the decor was nice. And even though it was loud inside, you could still hold a conversation. We were referred here by one of the front desk staff at the Swissôtel for "the best steaks" in a non-touristy part of town, and he said he also lived in this neighborhood. After we got there, I realized this restaurant is part of a chain, and my friend was a bit disappointed. But the food was really good and the staff spoke English and gave us English menus when we asked for it. And everything was beautiful inside--especially the bar area. We were seated at a high table at the bar area in the front of the restaurant, and I could admire the cool light fixtures and decorations on the walls. My friend got some mints from the bar that were like big white discs and tasted delicious. And they didn't disintegrate immediately like after-dinner mints, so I could suck on them for a long time. :)

    Went here despite reading the negative reviews. Some were right - the first time I went here there was no greeting at the door and I asked a member of staff if they were still doing food which she said 'yes till 1030pm' friendly and smiling.l but nothing else so Went to approach an empty table and another older man who was staff stopped and said there is a waiting list.. Lack of communication - We waiting for a table for maybe 20-30mins. We both ordered medium steak which was more blue/rare - I still ate mine as I didn't really mind. It really was delish and the Bali Steak was very tastey. Next time I went a couple of days later I asked for medium to well but it was definitely well done: so I don't know what to as going on there.. Two extremes and neither time cooked as asked. I'd go again as the second time the service was much better.

    Delicious beef steak!

    One of famous Loetje restaurants. Famous for their "biefstuk", good place for lunch or to go out with larger groups of friends.

    The food and service were both very good - the Bali steak had a great seasoning to it.

Service: The staff are super friendly and helpful. The salads are made to order and ready within minutes. Food: I've eaten many salads and soups and every single one was sooo tasty and healthy. The ingredients are fresh and the salads feature unique combinations. The portion sizes are ideal. Ambiance: They did an amazing job designing the inside. It's welcoming, warm and cozy with nice touches and comfortable seating. Price: The prices are affordable and worth every penny. Stop what you're doing and grab a healthy meal at Venkel!

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

    The Pantry - I hadn't had Dutch apple pie since my days waiting tables at Denny's, in the '80s & this was well worth the wait.
