Cannibale Royale is one of my "old faithfuls" of Amsterdam. Anytime I visit Amsterdam, I am confident that a visit to RC will deliver good food in a fun environment. For my meal, we stated with the steak tartare with bone marrow (d-lish) and some cheesy goodness. Both were tasty. For my main, I tried the ribs. The ribs were great. I couldn't finish them due to quantity. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food also came out relatively quickly. Love this place! read more

We had dinner at Cannibale Royale, and it was an excellent choice after a day of exploring Amsterdam. We made reservations for 6:15 p.m., and after a short walk from our hotel, we were promptly seated. The restaurant has a lively, casual atmosphere with friendly service that made us feel welcome right away. My husband ordered the Royale Burger topped with pulled pork and sauerkraut, served with a side of crispy French fries. I chose the Classic Burger paired with the watermelon, feta, and mint salad. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. While the burgers were the stars of the meal, my salad was a pleasant surprise--light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to a hearty burger. The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta, and fresh mint was especially enjoyable. If you're looking for a great burger in Amsterdam, Cannibale Royale is definitely worth a visit. Between the quality of the food, prompt service, and convenient location, it's an easy restaurant to recommend. read more

Came here during my trip to Amsterdam and it was one of the best meals I had. Their ribs are really good they reminded me of home and the steak as well was really good. Had a couple cocktails and they both were amazing. Very well made! The atmosphere was also great and service was top notch read more

What an incredible gem along the enchanting canals of Amsterdam. This was my girlfriend and I's first dining experience while visiting and we're off to an incredible start. The staff is incredibly attentive as well as being incredibly attractive. Prompt and friendly service. Dimly lit with 90's and early 00's hip hop and r&b. Onto the food... the French cheese with a twist was incredibly with the garlic bread and pickles. We got the bbq platter for two and were pleasantly surprised (as Americans) at the depth of the flavor profiles and attention to complementary flavors. The Zombie Attack is a must drink but buyer beware... it might have you acting like a zombie by the time u you've had two or three. 10/10 absolutely will be coming back and recommending read more

Cannibale Royale was my boyfriend and I first stop on our nine day Amsterdam trip. Once entering the door we were immediately approach by beautiful waitresses. we did not have a reservation so we opted into dining at the bar. I would recommend booking a reservation ahead of time if you want a more intimate experience. We ordered an appetizer which came out with a diabolical twist that was pleasant and fiery. We hydrated with some strong rum and chow down a two course meat platter. I would highly recommend this restaurant. 10 out of 10 in the music selection was R&B so right up my alley.

5 Delta Airline crew members had dinner. We had the ribs, steaks, and 2 different types of burger. All of the food was delicious. We had an amazing server Jacky that had great recommendations and provided great service. We will be back! read more

Just went to this location last night and their platter for 2 was good, but the veggies for 2 was not good. So far, I've been to 4 locations, and I think the best one is Rozengracht. The WORST location was actually Rotterdam Westbank, avoid that at all costs. read more

Overall, great music, service, and good vibes. Very dog-friendly, too! This was our first dinner in Amsterdam since it was right next to our hotel. It was very conveniently located and super easy to get into. The friendliness and fun atmosphere make it worth a trip, but not a must-visit. If you're looking for a good meal, it's a little overpriced, but one of the better options around the Museum Quarter area. They serve food until around 11pm. My fiance had the "Le Classique" burger which was pretty good, but large -- a little hard to eat. We also ordered the fries (good, but much thinner than expected). We tried a few different drinks -- the Moscow Mule, Spicy Paloma, and Elderflower spritz. All of them were decently good (7/10) and the food was similar. Overall, I would return and try a few more dishes. **This was the only restaurant we tried in the Netherlands with an automatic tip screen populating after paying. It's also right next to a red-light window row... definitely wasn't expecting that so far from the red-light district, lol! read more

Cannibale Royale is a bar and restaurant specializing in meat (steak, ribs, burgers). I got the L'Exceptionnel steak, which was described as 'cote d'boeuf', and which seemed to be ribeye. Now, I'm from the US, and maybe our steak is just better, but I would say the steak at Cannibale Royale is sort of average. Cooked to the requested temp (medium rare), mostly. A 2-3 bite chunk was undercooked and almost raw, and it wasn't even near the bone. The meat itself had some gristle, more than I would expect from a ribeye steak you'd get in a supermarket (in the US). It's possible though that this is good by European standards. The rest of the experience does make up for a lackluster steak. The bitterbal was interesting to me, since I've never had that. And the place has a nice vibe. Friendly service too. read more

Love this place. Great sangria in summer. One of best porn star martinis in town and their cauliflower wings keep me coming back weekly!

A wonderful evening because of the delicious food and nice service. The burger was juicy and full of flavor. The meat platter was a great taste of everything. Chicken had perfect spices, the brisket was not fatty but so tender. The sausage was very good and I cannot forget the fall off the bone ribs. My daughter and I shared so we could taste it all and we are thankful we made that choice. The restaurant was nice and cozy where spending the evening dining and having a perfect family evening. Important to make a reservation to guarantee a table. read more

Went here on a recommendation from the concierge. I ordered the side Caesar, fries, flank steak medium rare, and cheesecake. The food/flavors were great and steak was cooked perfect. The bonus was old school hip hop playing throughout dinner. Awesome vibe, great food, excellent service! read more

This restaurant is opened pretty late and it was extremely easy to get a reservation at the last minute which was great! The service was quick to order and get the bill My partner and I got the Le Exceptional (Bone in Ribeye) and the Le Modesto (Flat Iron Steak). Both steaks were cooked incredibly well, I asked for medium rare and got a beautiful steak cooked to exactly that which is quite rare. The steaks were quite good, but could have used a tad more salt to really bring out the flavor a bit more. The flat iron steak was incredibly tender cooked at medium rare, overall I would choose that again As for the sides, the french fries were just ok. They reminded me of the type of skinny fries you could buy from the freezer section, they weren't amazing and they weren't seasoned much at all. We also got the vegetables for two which came with Zucchini, Eggplant, Mushroom, Bell Pepper, and asparagus. The vegetables were cooked well and surprisingly the most seasoned part of the meal. Overall, would definitely come here again read more

Cannibale Royale is always on my need to go list while traveling. This Amsterdam steakhouse chain embodies everything I love about steakhouses. Various portion sizes, a variety of sides, and mouthwatering appetizers. They even have great desserts! My favorite is always the l exceptional. It's 600g of pure happiness. The broccoli side is also a regular when I'm ordering. The wines aren't super great in my opinion so I'd get a beer to pair with your meal. Definitely give this royal place a try! read more

The location of this place is "girls in the window row" at the end of a street were girls in the windows are looking for customers. Very normal theme in Amsterdam. I wasn't expecting it this far away from the "Red District". The place is a pub of sorts very crowded and load, food was OK, servers a little aggressive. Overall I would question the cleanness of the place. read more

When you're touristing it up in Amsterdam, it can be hard to find a worthy meal amongst the over-priced restaurants around central station and the Dam. But with the help of Yelp, my hubbie and I hit a meat jackpot. Situated a bit south of the center, Cannibale Royale is just a skip away from a scenic canal and a few red light windows. As soon as we arrived, the waitstaff was attentive and friendly. We posted up outside on an usually warm day in Amsterdam. Good spot for people-watching. I ended up going for the Le Magnifiqué while my better half opted for Le Classique. When our burgers arrived on those oh so trendy wood cutting boards that have invaded European cafes, I was surprised to see they were crafted for height instead of heft. My burger needed a fork and knife for sure. Piles of feta and pickle crowned a delectable, well seasoned petite patty of beef. My husband's burger was a bit larger and topped with bacon. The flavors were superb. My side of fries was a bit small for the four euro price tag. If you want something other than mayo, you'll have to ask for it. They also had a large selection of beers on drafts and a variety of wines. I can't comment on the inside of the restaurant since I never ventured in. But if your peckish on a warm day in Amsterdam, this is a great place to score a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery. read more

The place has a very cool theme. Kind of morbid, but definitely unique! The service is good, food was ok. Ordered the rib eye, but it isn't your typical rib eye. It's my second time ordering a ribeye in Amsterdam, and both times, they were not your typical ribeyes. No cap, very lean. read more

EXCELLENT restaurant. Easily 5 stars for me! Cannibale Royale reminded me of a class I took about themed entertainment as my entire dining experience as soon as I walked through the door was cohesive, fluid, and wonderful. The restaurant had a very rustic unapologetic ambiance and as soon as I was seated, I noticed all the details of the restaurant that made it unique and special. The paper towels had cute graphic printing, the utensils had bright wooden handles, and menus were aesthetically fitting. The whole place looked to tell a story. I ordered the ribs while my Mom ordered the lamb with salsa verde. Food came out on wooden carving boards and were very good portions for the price. We shared our dishes and both agreed that the food was delicious. I never imagined lamb could be so tender and would taste so good with salsa verde. At the same time, I was exposed to a different flavor of BBQ as the sauce on the ribs had a very different taste from the sweet American BBQ sauce. Everything was enjoyable and service was great throughout. After our meal, they even brought out hand towels and gave us a sweet sticker with their branding with our check. Highly recommend coming here! Make sure you make reservations to avoid waiting! read more

Ribs did not taste good at all. Hamburger was very good, but overpriced at €15 with no fries...burger in the place next door is as good at much lower price. Not going back. We all feel as when you eat greasy fast food (at no fast food prices). read more

This place has great vibes. Pretty intimate environment with a good selection of burgers, meats, and beer. I would have to agree that the ribs are pretty good - they famously fall off the bone easily. Food in general was just ok, but I did appreciate the ambiance mostly and the reasonable price. The only concern I had was that we had to wait a bit to get served, but it was the weekend and a few days before the travel ban went in effect. The ease to make the reservation and get a table was also a big plus! read more

One of the most delicious sandwiches I have had in a while! The pulled pork sandwich has a kind of sweet and tangy barbecue sauce on the chunks of nicely charred and smoked pork. What made it special was the horseradishy slaw. Perfect combo! The cheesesteak sandwich was also great. Nice amount of cheese, quality leaf lettuce, and tasty horseradish sauce. Cute place with pretty wood ceiling. Pretty good service. read more

The food here was fantastic. The ribs were all meaty and tender fall off the bone good. The burgers are my favorite. They even had a Amsterdam authentic burger with a radish bun. The beer you could get in a pitcher. We went through 8 of them. The prices were way reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We also got the beef tartare - Awesome! The nachos-Fun! the garlic rolls!!! - out of our minds good! I would recommend this hotel and you can even call ahead for reservations. This is the place to go for some good food and fun hipster type atmosphere. read more

I've been traveling to Amsterdam for about 17 years and have eaten at many different restaurants. This one hands down is excellent! The greeting, ease of making a reservation, (which I highly recommend) food, and service beat my expectations The ribs and burgers are awesome, service is quick but your not rushed to dine. Atmosphere is a little funky but fun. I will definitely be going back! read more

A stunningly good choice. Almost faultless which you'll see. Dutch service can be......... grudging. The staff here couldn't be warmer, more genuine and more efficient. Napkins appeared without asking. Drinks were refilled quickly. The food was on point across the board. We enjoyed Crispy Cauliflower Wings & Beef Tartare. The steak ----- a 600g L'Exceptionnel ---- was cooked to perfection. Most surprising? Our drinks were made without a fuss and to perfection. Bottom line: we will definitely be back read more

When you walk through the door you feel the vibe. This is one cool place! From the music to the coffee bar. The food is excellent and the staff will make sure you are being treated well. The service level was so well I went back again while I was in Amsterdam. If you want a cool place to hang out for a drink, coffee or grab a bite to eat I would recommend Cannibale Royale! read more

Great music and beers- ribs are the best! You should check out this neighborhood too. Outdoor seating in summer.

Stopped in here on my never ending quest for ribs in Amsterdam based off the reviews of fellow yelpers. I've tried a few of the other hotspots around Amsterdam while on layover for work and decided this would be by next place to hit up. It did NOT disappoint. I came in around 16:30 so they were still operating under their lunch menu--but not to worry, both the lunch and dinner menus has their incredible RIBS. Like someone else said, the sauce they use is more on the molasses side, so if you're expecting the sweet/tangy BBQ found Stateside you might be surprised, but it is finger licking good none-the-less! The staff here are super friendly and welcoming (as I have found is basically the MO of all Dutch people) and I would recommend this to anyone! The decor and atmosphere is cozy and music is great. I can honestly say of all the times I have visited Amsterdam (over a dozen) and of the countless pubs/bars/restaurants I've checked out for ribs, this place is the real deal (even surpassing my previous favorite Café de Klos!) YUM! Oh! And free WiFi :))))) read more

BEST RIBS EVER My friend chose Caannibale Royale for dinner and wow words can not describe the perfection of their ribs. The ribs weren't overly smothered in sauce, but still had plenty of flavor and the tenderness made the meat slide right off the bones.

Hi there (late night) carnivores! Are you in De Pijp and you need to bite into something to tame your raging hunger? I suggest this place. But I also always suggest to make a reservation, especially on weekends. During the week it also gets rather busy, but the later hours (pre-kitchen closing) are ok, so just give it a try, and walk in. This is the second location of Cannibale Royale, and I must say, I prefer it to the one close by the Spui. In short the interior is bigger and brighter. Bigger is clearly a win, seeing how many people love this place, and want to come with a group. Brighter, is also a win. While the ambiance is still dimmed in is not almost pitch dark as the other location. Here you have the feeling of warm fire-pit light wooden cabin, with just the right hint of a murderous woodchopper, to create the precise amount of savage to match your order fleshy order. I like the new plating of the steak tartare, it looks a bit bigger. I would, however, like if it would actually come in a bigger size. But I am a fan of steak tartare, so there is almost never enough :D Ribs are good, burgers are good...rather consistent with the standard of their other location. Super yum, always a good idea. read more

Cannibale has fantastic, fall-off-the-bone ribs, which paired well with the recommended house beer. It's a pale ale and tasty. The burgers looked fantastic, too, and seemed to be a very popular menu item. Sides are extra. There's a creepy pic on the menu and silverware bags. Very lively place with inside and outside seating. I should note that there's a coffee shop on the north side of the restaurant, so avoid that side of the sidewalk seating if you don't want to smell "herb." Service was a bit slow though extremely friendly. They were also out of t-shirts, which was a bummer. read more

wow, i'm so glad i found this place. it wasn't too far from out hotel, and we were getting hungry and wanted meat, and found this place like a few blocks away. luckily when we went, we found seats at the bar and did not need to wait. i ended up getting beef tartar, dutch bitterballen, and garlic broccoli. don't let the name fool you, but the dutch bitterballen is not bitter at all. its actually amazing. its pork in the shape of balls, and they deep fry it and serve it with mustard. the beef tartar was actually interested. it looked deconstructed, and came with anchovies, capers, onions, and bread. it was really filling and cheap for what we paid. i believe we got 200 grams for like 15 euros. i like the venue and the interior decoration. the people working here are friendly and responsive. when i come back to amsterdam, i will make sure i pay this place another visit. read more

My girlfriend and I visited this place on the first night in Amsterdam and we got lucky and got a seat within 20 minutes after sitting at the bar and having a pickle back shot (I was forced into, but don't regret). We decided to get the garlic bread which was AMAZING! We also got the Steak Tartare which I wasn't too sure but it turned out to be mouth watering. Please don't miss out on the ribs because they literally fell off the bones and melted in my mouth. Figuratively & literally. The location on Handboogstraat had way better customer service but I think we just had a waitress who was easily annoyed at the Ruysdaelkade location. Yes we went to both because it was that good. GO HERE!! (The creepy death theme at Handboogstraat was our favorite ;) read more

Excellent food! I had the Le Goat Flatbread which is goat cheese, thyme, honey, rockit greens (spring greens is what we call them in the US usually) and a fancy ham similair to proscuitto. The french fries with the Rosemary salt is DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend getting the Garlic Bread it comes out piping hot with plenty of butter. Also saw some excellent hot drinks being served but I was stuffed by then, can't wait to go back and try them!! read more
