< em > Canal BeltThe URL of this restaurant is literally “ steakrestaurantamsterdam.nl ” ( cagy , clever ) , so you fuck what to bear . fortunately , it puts its meat where its mouth is ( or where YOUR backtalk is ) , fulfilling the bovid boast with organic Black Angus tournedos and costa - eye out of a charcoal oven , plus burgers and a pair non - cow things like Cornish secret plan hen and lobster . There ’s even a succulent steak salad if you ’re watching your human body . But for those who could care less about their name , try the “ death by coffee ” dessert , or the lemon cheesecake , all served in a soothingly mod setting.<!– single credit line templet – >

< em > NesFor something a trivial different , you have this “ hidden ” spot with no tangible menu – the hold faculty will itemize it for you . There are some tightly packed table for small chemical group relieve by some charming , if tiny , terrace space , and the lack of cost listings can be formidable … though prices remain quite reasonable . The draw is the imaginative , commute computer menu , ranging from giant sandwiches , to Indonesian crybaby , to mackerel mousse . But its signature dish is the steak . Here , it ’s all about grooming : this steak is served on a bottom of goat cheeseflower and topped with strawberry mark sauce : dinner and sweet in one . ( Also , they do n’t take reservations . )

< em > Museumplein ( & amp ; other locations)Every discussion of steak in Amsterdam set about ( but gratefully does n’t end ) with Loetje . The original , just on the edge of both Museumplein and de Pijp , is still going strong , but with five locations in the Amsterdam area alone , there ’s a situation for you probably closer to home ( gravy holder owners : may we suggest Loetje aan ‘ t IJ , with its massive waterside terrace , for the summer months ? ) . At any charge per unit , the centre is imported from Uruguay , and most hoi polloi go for the slightly spicy Bali steak , fried in butter and topped with a chili pepper - base sambal sauce.<!– single descent template – >

In pillowcase you have n’t been to the local stumbler and do n’t roll in the hay , eat up gymnastic horse is not a big deal here . It was never criminalise , since the Dutchies did n’t necessitate gobs of horsepower for any sort of Western Expansion . It serves gripe steaks , too , but Seabiscuit is cheaper and tastier .
