    Ribeye Steak
    Jim S.

    This is the second year in a row we have dined here with friends while in Amsterdam for a trade show at the RAI, it's rather small and the tables are close together but it's still comfortable and the food is great. Nice selection of food and drinks and the service staff are great.

    Sweet potato fries and crispy cauliflower bites
    Judy C.

    My friend and I had the sweet potato fries and crispy cauliflower bites to start, both were nicely crispy. Then we had the plateau which included ribs, chicken, bacon, sausage and brisket with pickles and onions. The brisket and sausage were my favorite. Of course, it was too much meat for one meal.

    "The L'Incroyable" (300gr), cooked to order - Medium, with chimchurri. Succulent fries and a nice strong Coca-Cola. Highly recommended!

    Hello all! If you're in Amsterdam, and looking for a good place to get a really good steak, then I would recommend checking out Cannibale Royale! I was there for a week-long conference, and finding new places to eat became part of the everyday adventure. Having been walking around from session to session, and quite a few at different places across the city, I became seriously hungry. After freshening up back at my hotel, I checked my list of places to eat, and decided on Cannibale Royale. It was a 4 minute walk, and you won't see it from the main thoroughfare. I went in, and it immediately felt cozy and alive. I was waved over to the bar and asked if I had a reservation, which I didn't. All the other tables were full, so I sat at the bar and handed a menu. I wasn't aware that a reservation was needed. The menu has quite a few different cuts of steak, and the listing of starters/appetizers were nice. I highly recommend the chicken wings, I ordered the L'Incroyable, which is a rib-eye listed as having come from Argentina. I ordered it medium with fries that were so good. I give Cannibale Royale five stars. The food there was excellent! I do wish I had known to make a reservation though. However I have never known a bar to need a reservation. But hey, live and learn! Highly recommended!

    Overall great experience here! Welcomed in with our a reservation right away, and waitress was quick, and made things easy for us. Tables are a little small but okay for the 3 of us, steak and lobster were cooked and seasoned to perfection, and beer and wine options were great! Very enjoyable atmosphere for a steakhouse, lively and quick!

    Vlees van hoge kwaliteit, heerlijk bereid! Onze serveerster Catalijn bood geweldige service!

    Bitterbal
    Linda M.

    Since we are foodies, we came here to try the bitterbal. It is a must try but not really our favorite on the trip. Instead we enjoyed the tartare. Prefect flavors. This place had a great vibe to start our evening out with apps and a few drinks.

    Short ribs
    Dione M.

    Deeeeeeeeelish. I wasn't intending to go to a steakhouse while I was visiting Amsterdam, but a group of friends and I decided to pop in here and this was an amazing dinner and everyone left very satisfied and fulfilled with their different meat choices. The Tomahawk looked amazing, the short ribs were so soft and succulent. The drinks were great, and the service was equally as great. I will definitely be back

    Sweet potato fries
    Candace S.

    My friend and I decided to split a meal after the server told us at the pork ribs would be a large portion. We also had corn on the cob and sweet potato fries as sides. The ribs were unfortunately underwhelming, but the sweet potato fries were very good. The corn on the cob was good but too much butter for me. The waitress was friendly however she did not come back to ask us how our food was during the meal. I've noticed that seems to be a common theme in Amsterdam.

    L'Incroyable
    Alexander Y.

    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!

    After an evening strolling along the canals, checking out the red light district and spending a bit of time at a 'coffee shop', we went in here for some late night eats. The boys had burgers and I ordered a steak tartare. The food was not bad and the beer menu was stellar!

    Steak, short rib, creamed spinach

    AMAZING food and vibes! Great music, ambiance, service, and food! The short ribs, steak, bitterballs, and cheesecake were out of this world!

    Monica N.

    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!

The…read morerestaurant is beautifully decorated inside, with a great atmosphere right along the canal. We were a family of five, so unfortunately there wasn't enough space for us to sit outside, but the interior was beautiful and made for a really nice evening. For appetizers, we ordered the caviar and seabass tartare. Both were delicious, although the real problem was that the kids kept asking for more caviar . Definitely a good sign! For the entrees, among other things, we shared the tomahawk steak and ordered the fish of the day. The tomahawk was cooked perfectly medium rare and was tender and flavorful, while the fish was simply delicious and beautifully prepared. Great food, beautiful setting, and a really memorable family dinner in Amsterdam. Definitely a place we'd come back to.

    Top Notch Breakfast and Dinner…read more.. Brasserie is the restaurant inside the Ambassade Hotel. My wife and I...along with another couple...had 4 breakfasts and 1 dinner there so this review reflects our experience. - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 (for Old Town and the Jordaan) - Exterior: 5 - Interior: 5 - Atmosphere: 5 - Menu: 5 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 (though the head waiter at dinner was full-of-himself) - Price and Value: 5 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the Old Town and Jordaan parts of Amsterdam. - Exterior: Handsome. A beautifully restored and maintained property. - Interior: Contemporary. Brasserie is a high end spot across 3 rooms, yet remains comfortable where conversation is easily accomplished. - Menu: Very healthy buffet at breakfast plus some items which can be ordered. Dinner offers French fare with a relatively light touch...though very different from the wellness-oriented breakfast. - Food: Excellent. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but full of healthy high quality items. I had 3 unbelievable versions of granola spooned from large jars and covered my bowl with the best tasting light Greek yogurt. Fruit and fish was super fresh...bread and pastries baked on premises amazing. Others in our group chose made-to-order egg dishes. It's all part of staying at the hotel. Dinner transformed Brasserie into a bistro with a French twist on many favorite dishes. Check the menu online. Portions are small - as expected - but quality was high. However, prices were very reasonable with most items under $30. - Service: Homey at breakfast..."French" for dinner. Everyone could not have been more friendly and helpful in the morning. Things were a bit more formal at night with a different crew. The chief waiter was very knowledgeable, but we agreed a bit arrogant. - Price and Value: Worth it. I believe the breakfast buffet is only for guests of the Ambassade Hotel. Brasserie is open to the public at night and quite reasonable. - Parking: None. Who has a car in Old Town? Cons: - The only one readily apparent was the brusque, off-the-cuff nature of our main server at dinner. He wasn't over-the-top, but not in keeping with the friendly vibe of the hotel. And that's coming from 2 couples who grew up in New York City and lived for many years in San Francisco and LA. Anyone can...and should...get dinner at Brasserie. There are many reasons to make reservations for a stay at the Ambassade - including access to their breakfast buffet.

We were staying at Pulitzer Amsterdam, so the location couldn't have been easier. The atmosphere is relaxed but still feels special, and the service was attentive without being over the top.

Its on a side street so was easy to get a ride to drop us off near one of the major streets. Small selection of wines that ranged from moderate to very expensive. We ordered a bottle of red wine for the meal. We ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters which was nice size and easily consumed. Highly recommend. We ordered the Dry Aged Filet Mignon and the Halibut for our meals. Both were amazing. The steak comes with fries so we should not have ordered the smashed potatoes. The potatoes weren't very good and didn't add anything to a perfect meal. We really enjoyed the entire experience.
