Horecagroep Restaurant Company Europe (RCE) has not given up, despite the corona crisis. In addition to investing in the renovation of various restaurants in recent months, RCE will also open five new Loetje restaurants this summer, known for their tender tenderloin steak in gravy. RCE also has great ambitions for the Loetje formula for the coming year, with plans to open six to eight new Loetjes a year in the Netherlands.
