Glad we did, one of the best steaks ever!! :-)

Cafe De Klos @ Kerkstraat 4 do an amazing fillet, another top place La Brasa http://www.labrasa.nl/ @ Haarlemmerdijk 16 is probably the best (I've found) in Amsterdam or head over to Wilma & Alberts http://www.wilma-alberts.nl/ in Haarlem.
I want to check Wilma & Alberts in Haarlem.
Thing is i never was in Haarlem before.
Can you give me some detailed info how to get to Wilma & Alberts?

i posted this on a different thread and maybe its too late but the restaurant in the Hotel Die Port Van Cleve is world renowned for its numbered steaks, im not sure of the details but here is a link to their menu page. http://www.dieportvancleve.com/dishes.htm i havent eaten steak there myself but the other food was great!

Edit: address Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 176
I checked the site their numbered steak comes in 6.5 oz / 180 g or 9 oz / 250 g for 22 or 27.50 respectively, served with a choice of sauce, fries, stir fry veggies etc, enjoy!
If it wasnt for the brits, ID BE DUTCH RIGHT NOW

Went to Wilma & Alberts in Haarlem for lunch on Sep 6th to celebrate my friend's birthday, and the only downside was the fact that they didn't have the full menu running for lunch - this wasn't a problem though as the basic "steak and chips" for €16.95 (I think) was exquisite!

All three of us had the same meal and it was probably the finest steak I've had outside of America!

Honestly, if you'd left your knife resting on the top of the meat for a few moments, it would have probably parted in two, it was so tender!

Well worth the 15-20 min on the train from A'Dam!

Next time it will be an evening trip and a T-bone!

Delicious - best I've had in Europe!
