Loetje Bergen — Restaurant in Bergen

Gastronomical hights in downtown Bergen Binnen: A consciously restricted choice of fine, elaborated dishes, which are a purposeful mixture of Asian, American and not al least Dutch cuisine traditions; fresh and tasty cooking in pretty trendy, if not to say hip, sourroundings. Spacious and rather crowded, this loud, vibrating location is undoubtedly vivid, but at the same time charming as well. The public here combines old and young, tourists and locals.

Had a dinner here after a tiring day .

They even gave me suggestions on which drink is good based on what I needed . The food was amazing . I had no idea how the dish will taste or look and they were helpful in giving me a detailed description to help me make the right choice. I will come back again when I visit...

On Saturday November 16th after a lovely walk in the Bergen dunes and forest and a light lunch close to the beach, we stopped by at Loetje for our dinner. The restaurant is situated in the heart of Bergen, close to the ruin church. We had a very friendly waiter called Jelle and thanks to his good recommendation we picked a bottle of delicious Italian red wine called Primitivo. As main course we had the signature choice: Biefstuk (steak) Roode Waard. On the side we ordered sweet potato fries and a mixed salad. Overall a delicious dinner...
