Baut does refined small dishes with very fresh ingredients in a sharing concept on the a la Carte menu. Everything we tried was extremely tasty, fresh and light, not reckoning the chips, a secret sin worth adding. Portions are quite small and just having 2 dishes per person without sides would have been too little for us. Deserts were normal to big size and delicious. It was nice to sit outside and service was quick and friendly. We did not have the time to try out the 3-5 course menus and compare with Baut Zuid unfortunately.

The museum is full of maritime history, which may not be everyone's first interest. The history of Bilbao city and especially it's transformation since the eighties however was fascinating and made the visit well worth the while.

This location by the river in Ouderkerk has been one of our favourites over the years and Loetje is one of the places with tables by the water. Loetjes steaks and sauces are the same as in other locations and consistently good. The menu is otherwise limited and doesn't seem to vary at all. We found more choices with neighbouring restaurants in the past. Staff is very friendly, but not very good in following up or checking on tables regularly. Still we enjoyed our dinner and had a lovely evening.
