Cannibale Royale Handboogstraat

We had beer and red wine for drinks, along with sandwiches and a burger for food—everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and had a great authentic feel. The only downside was that the French fries were a bit too small, and the service could have been better. Overall, we were happy with our experience and would definitely recommend this place!

We came there late Sunday evening and it was fully packed. Nevertheless we got a table for 2. Very nice design and atmosphere including friendly staff. Steak and Hamburger were served on the fly and were tender, soft and DELICIOUS!! Very nice local brewery beers. Everything at a reasonable price. Definitely a place to go for Meat lovers ♥️.

If you enjoy delicious meats, barbecue, chill vibes and good service and cocktails, Cannibale hits the spot. Get the ribs, you will not be disappointed. Atmosphere is welcoming, and has an industrial meets a cabin in the woods meets a rocker vibe. Great place for a meal and they’re open late!

Been here twice and this is one of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam already. Their beef short rib is perfection! Meat is tender and well seasoned. Their Mac and cheese is so comforting. Prices are as reasonable as you can get for a proper steak house. First time tried their ribeye, which was also great.

We came for an evening meal during our final evening in Amsterdam and wanted something special, we was so glad this is where we picked. The food was really good, everyone was able to get what they wanted from grilled cauliflower, to lobster, ribs and chicken. 4 people with very different tastes were all satisfied. Service was a little cold at the start as the server was clearly busy, however they warmed up towards the end. The main bit, the food was incredible and I will make an effort to come again next time I visit Amsterdam

We decided to check this spot out after hearing good things and seeing the great reviews online, and it really lived up to the expectations. We had both burgers and steak, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was really nice and helpful, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was spot on, with a great vibe that made the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!

After researching a place to have some meat, we came across this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We had a reservation but arrived earlier and the staff did their best to accommodate us. We had the ribs and pickles and they were so tender, if only they had been on the grill one minute less, they would have been perfect, they were a bit too burnt for me but I still enjoyed them and ate all. The red wine was delicious so we will go back tonight as well before we leave home.

Short rib was a bit dry but delicious. Hamburger was a very juicy. We went there for especially eating hamburger and it was very delicious. And we were there without reservation and it was a rush hour time. They were fully booked but they arrange a place for us within 10 minutes. Thanks..

Wife and I are in Amsterdam on vacation. We made a reservation for Cannibal Royale weeks ago (glad we did, so busy!). Tonight we shared baked camembert with bread, pickles and pickled onions (great app). She had a burger, Le Classique, which she loved. I had a rib eye steak, L'Incroyable, which was cooked to perfection (med rare). They served the steak with garlic sauce, BBQ sauce, and flakey salt on the side. Let me tell you people, the steak needs none of that sauce. A little salt and you are golden. THE MEAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, so let it do the talking! Fries were killer, so were the sweet potato fries. Mac and cheese was mid. Ambiance is nice, a little dark, but I heard no less than 3 MF DOOM songs, so 5 stars for that alone. The music was hip hop the entire time we were there. Gotta love that. If we were staying in town any longer, we'd try to get back here. If we ever come back to Amsterdam, we'll definitely come back to Cannibal Royale.

Great meat. Really nice cuts and well prepared. Rustic environment but very pleasant. Good service, very friendly Make sure to book in advance on their website Best side are the vegetarian wings

Cannibale Royale is part of a regional chain. Usually it's a pretty good spot for a slab of meat (steak). Most of their places are dark, loud, moody pub / restaurant affairs. A good solid formula. We've had a few good meals there. And it's one of the few places that can do a good Whiskey Sour. Tonight, we felt like chicken wings. A quick drink and some wings. What can I say? The service was reasonable. A little slow and slightly chaotic. But competent enough. The wings were...... cooked. There was some...... sauce. Nothing wrong, nothing special, just....... okay. I cannot even remember finishing our drinks. Those damn wings just left a dull pall across our palates and minds. I expect better. Frankly, a let down. We'll think twice about patronising CR in the future.

The whole interior has a cool pub/restaurant kind of vibe. If you listen carefully, they have some great music playing in the background! The service was fantastic. The food was simply amazing. The rack of ribs were so saucy, juicy, and fall off the bone. The Mac and cheese was perfectly indulgent. The burger was huge and cooked to perfection!

Having been to the Cannibale Royale location on Lange Niezel, decided to plan a dinner for the Handboogstraat location as it was closer for my friends who had their hotel very nearby. Instead of my last visit, I actually made a reservation so we walked in pretty quickly. When I came here last year, I wasn't in a steak mood even though Cannibale Royale has a pretty impressive steak lineup. Well this time I knew I had no excuses and got the L'Incroyable (250g ribeye), which translates to a shade under 9 ounces. It was good, definitely enjoyed it. The meat quality was very good, which I was surprised by because you just can't be sure about meat quality outside of the U.S. Service is good, no complaints from me. Only quibble is that they jammed seven of us into a stable that would have comfortably seated five people at most, but it is Europe so what you can do. I would say Cannibale Royale closely approximates American-style food, with a Dutch twist on it. The steak was worth the wait!

Weeere visiting Amsterdam and wandering around and stumbled upon this non-descript spot. Great food, friendly staff. They were full so we ordered food from the bar. When a table opened up (before our food arrived), they were kind enough to move us to the table.

Dinner was amazing. The restaurant is really nice inside. Different decor, art and doll heads to look at lol. The food was delicious. The broccoli was my favorite. It was the best I've ever had. The Mac and cheese was really good, creamy with a crispy cheese top (which is favorite) and the chicken was flavorful and juice. The had house made pickles (not pictured) but they were like no other. We definitely asked for some to go. The broccoli and pickles will keep me coming back each time I'm in Amsterdam.

i absolutely loved the aesthetic here, it's genuinely me asf. I got the chicken sandwich and it was good, but if i had just rate the food, it would be a sold three stars, but the restaurant itself makes it four.

Really good food. Steak tartare and wings delish. Bread was a little hard. We did the plateau de Cannibale for 2. Everything was good besides the chicken, we did not really enjoy the chicken. We shared a few of the sides and those were also good, especially the Mac and cheese. Service was attentive and quick, no complaints here.

very great price and great meat quality for bbq Steak is nice! Just make sure they won't cook it so raw!(We ordered medium, it came up with medium rare) Not like American bbq place, you also need to order side dishes, i recommend fries and corns! Cocktails are very good! You can taste the good quality meat there with very reasonable price range!

Slow service but the wait is so worth it. Amazing steaks and tartare. They're also one of the few restaurants with decent cocktails. Great for groups and after work happy hours.

The cuisine was fantastic! The burger and ribs were exceptional, and I highly recommend this place. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere had good vibes all around.

Ah! I went back and the bun was a regular color ‍ so I asked and found out the bun was not blue, it was GREEN because it was 20/04/23 April 20th... 4/20!

Cannibale Royale was another restaurant on our shortlist for Amsterdam - in our pre-gaming, we were intrigued by its bare-knuckle, provocative vibe. It also came highly rated. It's right off the Singel Canal - one of the earliest canals in the city. I think we'd consider it an alleyway, but it appears to be a proper street on Handboogstraat 17a. Because it was day one - we rolled the dice on a walk-in, but we highly recommend making a reservation. It's also a great walk - with a few colorful squares nearby (like the Spui). Staff was friendly and accommodating - we were able to sit at the bar, preferable as we wanted to imbibe. We started off with two cocktails - the Penicillin and the Cannibale Corpse. We typically start off with a Penicillin in a new land - the citrus and ginger are very much wanted at that point in the trip. The Cannibale Corpse tasted of the standard recipe, with its layers of gin, prosecco, lemon and pear brandy. We dived right into entrees, since we were starving after a long day of exploring the city. A must for ASG in Amsterdam on that first day is to get a steak. There's something about the sensibilities of the city and steaks - I don't know if there is anything like it, but for New York City. Didn't want to go overboard, so went for the L'incroyable - the Rib Eye, which I believe was aged. As a side, we opted for the Pork Belly and Pickle - as, if you follow us on Instagram (@allstreetsourmand) we've been on a pickling kick for some time. So, as you can see from our photos of the visit - well-cut, well-cooked meat abounds, surrounded by equally well-made pickling. A side of corn on the cob to round out the meal - and (wink) have our vegetables. The pickling were white onions steeped in red vinegar - simple, delicious. The green dill was just as you would want and a great compliment to the pork belly (and the steak). The steak, as you'll find throughout the city is effortlessly prepared to perfection. It's as if there is a collective understanding of how best prepare steak - and we always look forward to it. We also opted for Le Classique - a burger from Black Angus, local cheddar, sautéed onions, tomato, mustard mayonnaise, and thick bacon. All of this was served on a thick bun - it was a meal on its own. The burger could be more well-balanced - the meat felt a bit overpowered by the rest of the condiments. All of the components were delicious - but perhaps dialing down the bun and the sauce would bring the burger to the fore. The ambiance was great - it felt like Amsterdam. There were wood accents, and the lights were reminiscent of candles. It made us feel like we were in the latter half of the 1800s as they designed. There was an air of mystery and a bit of intrigue. All told, we love Cannibale Royale for delivering on all fronts. We highly recommend a visit next time you're in Amsterdam.

Great Burger! Great atmosphir! Great service! We Had great time in! Very friendly ,

My husband picked this restaurant due to it being on some "Best Of" list. Those really impress him but I am not so easily swayed. That said, my burger and frites were good. I've had better. I've had worse. The Caesar salad was a rather teeny serving, though. Make reservations to be certain you get a seat. We walked in and begged for a table, but I don't think that will work for everyone. The atmosphere is very dark and spooky seeming. Service was reasonable.

Great food, great service!! We read reviews for this place when preparing to visit Amsterdam and made reservations for our party of 6. No disappointments at all. Highly recommend!!

Started our Saturday night here, wasn't disappointed. We did not have reservations. Despite the place being packed, the staff were able to seat us quickly. Tartare app was delicious. So was the rest of our meal. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, grilled vegetables, Mac n' cheese, and fries were all very good. Can't go wrong here, and fun atmosphere. Would suggest making reservations to avoid any potential delays. We were lucky.

I came here for a lab dinner, and the food was pretty good. The ribs were incredible as I don't particularly like BBQ, but the sauce was more of a sweet sauce and the meat was super tender. The cauliflower steak was great, but definitely not enough food to be satisfied as a full entree. The veggie burgers weren't my favorite, but they were alright. Service was decently quick as drinks and food came out fast. There is a small amount of seating outdoors, and more inside. We had a reservation, so I can't speak on their availability.

super cool unique concept. we ordered a wide range of items from cauliflower steak to real steak. also got vegetables, caesar salad, and sweet potato fries. my favorite was the caesar salad and sweet potato fries. the vegetables had a little too much oil on them for me. most items are served on a cutting board.

Had one of the most interesting meals in AMS yet (our third time in this stunning city). I rarely rate 5 stars but this place deserves it for their friendly staff, interesting gothic decor & some really fantastic food that won't break the bank. I'm a sucker for Bitterballen; suffice it to say I have tried them multiple times during our visits. CR's bitterballen were some of the best I've had. For entree my husband and I shared their €45 steak & €11 veggies platter - toss in some chimichurri & I don't have enough words to express just how amazing that combo was. Now add the €10 Whisky sour cocktail & it was perfection. We sat at the bar, had a nice little chat with our friendly bartender while eating. We'd love to go back and order the exact same meal on our last night in AMS!

Ran into this spot because the original spot was closed. First I would like to say that I appreciate the waitress for seating us without reservations (didn't know we needed because of last minute changes). We were seated quickly, and spaced out from other guests. I love how multiple people check with us to see if we needed anything at our table, great customer service. The food was just what we needed and the prices were reasonable. If I ever come back to Amsterdam I will make sure to stop by again.

Great food, great ambiance and great staff! Made reservations for this place as it's pretty hard to get a walk in table for larger groups. Not a very brightly lit environment but definitely a great place to eat if you're looking for brews and eats. Also, amazing house pickle!!!

Thankfully I read the Yelp post prior to going and people alerting travelers to make a reservation. We arrived and the first thing the host said was, "sorry, we're booked solid". Yes, and thank goodness my name is on the list! My grandson and I ordered a burger. Wow! It was so moist and flavorful. It included cheese and bacon and I can say, I will be returning. Definitely, worth a trip. I hurried and made reservations for the next night as it is our last night in Amsterdam and I don't want to chance a tourist trap restaurant.

We have stopped here every visit to Amsterdam. The Mac and Cheese was very good: the addition of Dutch cheeses makes this American comfort food explode with flavor. The Camembert with bread was also amazing, as was the bitterballen. I also tried the pickle back shot which was whiskey with a pickle juice chaser. I loved it (but I also love pickles).

Great burgers and meat! Good selection of beers on tap. Good service. Open late. Nice decor.

Coming from Toronto I absolutely loved the vibe of this place. Food was on point and the service was amazing. I ordered the Cannibale Royale Burger and wow 5 stars. I highly recommend this spot. I will be back soon

We had a great feast! Platter for two with fries and salad, no leftovers here! They even brought me ketchup for the fries! Reservation got us a great corner table for five even though only two of us.

As I searched for restaurants In Amsterdam Cannibale Royale came up over and over. We were not disappointed! My husband declared his burger the best ever. My burger was fantastic as well. We added Mac n cheese- yummy and sweet potato fries. You can't go wrong, but you should make a reservation.

Found ourselves without a dinner plan on our Saturday night in Amsterdam. I checked Yelp for places close to our hotel. What a find!! Cauliflower "wings" were so amazing we ordered 'em at the bar and again when we were seated! The hubs and I ordered and shared the ribs in addition to their namesake burger. OMG. Fall off the bone, tender, flavorful, and scrumptious are just a few adjectives to describe our choices. Paired with a cold Weihenstephan it all made for a most enjoyable meal. Upbeat, lively vibe full of great staff who genuinely seem happy to be here. I'd give this place more than two thumbs up if I had them.

5 stars The boys thought the best ribs I've ever had in their life it was a pub like atmosphere which Amsterdam is all about nice people good management I had plant-based foods and there was enough for me but the pig what is the best

Food was delicious. Service could definitely have been better. Seemed like the wait staff was arguing over who was responsible for my table.

Great burgers , great fries, pretty good Mac and cheese (maybe a little too much cheese). Excellent host and wait staff. Fun lively place with a nice modern old style decore. The ice cream was small but not overwhelming after the huge burger.

If I could give it one star I would was the shittiest steak I ever had. The owner came out with 3 sets of utensils but still was impossible to cut

Looking for late night food wasn't too bad in Amsterdam . I loved how this place is open until 3 am. We got to the restaurant around 1 am and there was a lot of people. I loved the vibes in there . A fun place to have dinner & drinks. They have a late night menu which Consist of items with an owl next to it. We got the ribs , classic burger , wAtermelon feta salad, and fries . All the food was delicious . Hands down the burger was amazing. It was soo good with the watermelon salad. Paired nicely. Also , hands up for the guy at the bar who made my margarita. It was perfect. I was amazed by how good it was I ordered another! Huyen our waitress was super helpful and attentive. We were asking her where to go out and I loved how she gave us selections ( although she really doesn't go out ) I thought that was sweet of her. She gave great service . I love that this place serves quality Food for late night hours. Very impressed and went a second time during our period in Amsterdam!

2 X Cannibale Royale Ales 2 X Sauvignon Blancs 1 X Rib Slab 1 X Pulled Pork Sandwich 1 X Friets = $47,20. = Delicious across the board, great service, fast wifi. Tip: Not a ton to look at, but the table for two window side offered a bit more light and was a nice spot for looking outside.

My friend and I were visiting from the US and our bartender at the bar we were having cocktails at recommended we come here for some late night eats, specifically the ribs. Upon arriving we were absolutely starving; needed food immediately! After ordering the nachos as a starter, ribs, garlic broccoli and sweet potato fries, I was distracted from my hunger by the fantastic vibe in this restaurant. The servers were having a good time and the music was loud. Our nachos arrived and I was in heaven, I'm not sure if it was my hunger giving wrong signals to my brain, but these nachos were delicious and had an ample amount of cheese. In fact, a neighboring table stopped their conversation to watch my first cheese pull. The only regret I have is that I didn't catch it on video. Here's when things get a little rocky...our ribs took FOREVER. I mean, we got past our hungry and we were falling asleep at the table, our server didn't return to see if we wanted any more drinks or water while we were waiting, and that's the only negative thing I have to say. When our ribs finally arrived, they were absolutely amazing! Tender and fall off the bone, the bbq sauce was perfectly sweet and spicy, I only wish I hadn't eaten so many nachos. The sides were also scrumptious, the garlic broccoli was roasted (my favorite way to eat broccoli) and the fries were crispy and salty. Overall, a great dinner, will definitely return if I ever make it back to Amsterdam!

We visited Cannibale Royale, as it was listed as a Yelp Elite pick for Amsterdam. After visiting I now know why. Cannibale Royale is a chill, hip restaurant with good eats and solid drinks. We sat at the bar, as one of the employees mentioned that all of the tables were for dinner service. We only wanted some bites and mostly drinks, so found three stools at the bar, which ended up being the best seats in the house. It's where all the magic happens. The bartender became our friend. We saw that they served Stone Brewery beers here, which has awesome IPAs, so started with beers. For a cocktail I ordered a Manhattan, and as the menu details, it's slowly-stirred. I witnessed the bartender slowly stir it and the poor gal had to do it twice for me, since I had another. I still think it's odd that Manhattans served in Amsterdam are with ice (and sometimes sugar); and although it was served in ice, this Manhattan was way better than the other Manhattans I ordered while in Amsterdam. Thank goodness. Food was yummy! One of my friends had the bitterballen and my other friend had the roasted veggies, while I ordered the nachos with chicken. Everything was super tasty. The nachos were good, especially with the chicken, which I recommend adding. There was a good spice to the chicken. It was also a good size for sharing. Cannibale Royale was a fun place to visit for drinks, and I'm glad we stayed long enough for some bar bites. During the two hours we were there we witnessed that every table was filled. There was even a line at the door, waiting for bar seats to open up. It was quickly snatched as soon as we got up to depart. Cannibale Royale is a popular spot and worth checking out if you're in town.

Walked in without reservations and luckily there was one available table left. Staff was very friendly. We ordered the wings, sweet potato fries, cannibale Royale Burger, a beer and long island. Everything tasted really good and the portions were a good size. Also the decorations here are pretty cool if you are into serial killer movies.

What a cool vibe in Amsterdam. We were sat near the doors at a 2 top table and it was a pretty loud bar/night scene even on a random weekday. We got the ribs, bitter ballen, corn, and jerk chicken and somehow finished everything. I was surprised at myself for being able to put away the entire rack, the bitterballen and a piece of corn - I really should stop eating so much...lol We got there around midnight and it was great that they were still serving food until like 2AM because many places stopped serving food much earlier. We had a really cool waitress as well. The staff was chill and we were able to take our time and still get a nice meal. I'd come back!

Amsterdam is definitely not known for its food, but if you're looking for a delicious meal, then Cannibale Royale is your spot! Cannibale Royale is for meat lovers who enjoy exotic beers and unique wines. If you're coming in around dinner time, try to make a reservation in advance because this place fills up quickly. They also offer dinner at the bar, but if you want a proper seat, then a resi is a must. Everything we ate was amazing - here's what we ordered: steak tartare, lamb chops, bitterballen, a salad with mozzarella, and sweet grilled corn. We were just 2 people and this was plenty of food! We paired this food with the delicious Spanish Red Wine; it like a hybrid between Pinot Noir and Merlot. The steak tartare was extremely fresh. It came with a small quail egg, truffle-mayonnaise, bacon toast, capers, and anchovies. We mixed everything in except for the anchovies. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The lamb chops were flame grilled frenched baby lamp chops with salsa verde; they were very tender and cut like butter. The bitterballen was one of the best I tried in all of Amsterdam. Bitterballen are deep fried meatballs; they aren't regular meatballs, they're a mix of meat, flour, and spices. The salad was fresh and flavorful and nice green to compliment the meat. The grilled corn is covered in a vanilla based butter. The flavor was unique but also very delicious - definitely a must try! The staff here was also very friendly and kind. :)

Checked this place out after receiving a recommendation. Interior and ambience was nice. Waited 5-10 minutes to get seated when 80% of the seats were empty. Fine, whatever. Another 5-10 minutes to order. 15 mins for appetizers to surface. Another 20 mins for the main dishes. Hot wings were probably one of the worst I've had, but edible when hungry. Nachos were a bit weird; tons of onions on top and but not enough tomatoes, guacamole and cheese. But again, edible when hungry. Ribeye steak and signature burger were not bad. House draft beer and Negroni were pretty good. Service was slow but the staff was friendly, so whatever. Wouldn't go again nor recommend the place, simply because the food is just not that good.

My. God. The ribs fall off the bone!!! And you're given plenty. The mac n cheese in the cheesiest and creamiest ever (hello Dutch cheese), and the garlic broccoli is amazing and so fresh. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. There was a bit of a wait, but no more than 10 minutes and well worth it. Food came quickly once seated. And it was nice and hot! Typing this as I try to recover. Can't breathe. Unbuttoning pants... hoping to digest for round 2.

What a great experience and so much so we went twice in four days. We stopped knowing we had no reservations and it could be an issue. They stated they were booked so we sat at the bar and before we could order they had moved people around to get us a seat. The service was outstanding from the beginning. We ordered a couple drinks before dinner and decided on a few sides and the ribs. Wasn't sure what to expect of the ribs but honestly I could have eaten several slabs. They were perfectly tender and had a unique sauce that was a bit sweet. They were heavily caramelized which placed them in the top five best ribs I have ever had. Everything was so great we decided to have a late night slab the following night after our early dinner. Definitely a place to check out but be sure to make reservations as it was crazy busy both nights.

Such a fun place to eat while visiting Amsterdam. Great food and a really fun vibe. The ribs and the Mac and cheese were on point.

Make a reservation I stopped in and was able to get a table with a small wait on a recent visit. I'm so glad I did as this was the best meal I had on my business trip! They have a great beer selection and everything on the menu sounds amazing. We started with the bread, because, who can skip buttered bread?! I had the classic cheeseburger and it was so filling that I couldn't finish the last few bites. The fries were done perfectly and had dipping sauce. I also got a side of broccoli and it was cooked nicely with great flavor. No negatives here. If you're looking for a dinner spot, this is the place.

Visited Amsterdam solo. Made a reservation. Food was great. Ordered the Cauliflower wings, Garlic broccoli and Roasted chicken. Everything was delicious. Also my servers were attentive. Cool vibe. Would come back again!

We walked in on a whim, no reservations. The place was jam packed! The friendly hostess was very accommodating in getting us seated fairly quickly. We ordered drinks which came out quick & really spot on perfectly made. The menu is in correlation with the namesake, lots of meat offerings. I ordered the classic burger & the bf ordered ribs. My burger was a tad salty but really good but his ribs! Oooooh man! Those were some serious finger licking ribs! We really enjoyed ourselves here & I highly recommend checking this place out. It's only fair that I pass on the baton since I found this gem through yelp.

We arrived late in Amsterdam and we were starving! My family picked this spot and when I heard "Cannibale" I assumed nothing available for me to eat but I'll go along. Much to my surprise, they did have a select few vegetarian options on the menu! It is a bar so it was very busy and loud, not in a bad way. Our server was awesome, very attentive and helpful. We arrived past their normal hours of the menu so they only offer about half for the late night bites. (In Europe we noticed many bars/restaurants stop serving food very early, beware of that when looking on Yelp! We were led to many spots with no food options past 10pm.) I ordered the nachos and they were some of the best nachos I have ever had! Nachos are a very simple thing to make but I have had my fair share of bad nachos. The Heineken (when in Amsterdam) was delicious, we were feeling good off a pitcher. My brother kept going on and on about how good his ribs were.

Stumbled across this restaurant online, decided to give it a try on our first night in Amsterdam. The place was full, we were seated pretty quickly, friendly staff, and decent amount of choices to accompany the ambiance. My meal was cooked perfectly, very tender and juicy. I chose the sweet vanilla corn as my side- a win for the night- delicious. And the wine paring suggested as very tasty, typically stick to one glass of wine (not much of a drinker), I had two glasses. I would definitely be interested in going back when/if I am ever in Amsterdam again.
