Amsterdam's most famous steak café, an institution since 1978 serving no-nonsense entrecôte with green salad and frites. The meat is sourced carefully and cooked properly — medium-rare is the only correct answer. It's loud, packed, and completely unpretentious. Expect a wait without a reservation, especially on weekends.
