She made our experience much better otherwise wouldn't rate 5 stars. I can see why service is spotty from reading reviews here, and it might feel stuffy but I do feel the staff tries to make it a warmer atmosphere. Fun spot on weekends with the DJ although I wouldn't call it lively. The bar is backed up as it's a spot where people sit long and continue to order rounds. Our drinks were good but took way too long and arrived after our appetizers. We enjoyed the food, the yellowfin and ribeye were excellent.

Food comes in about 6 minutes with 6 slices of cooked crispy lightly breaded chicken breast, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and sweet chili sauce. Should have chosen the whole grain brown bread instead of the white wheat bread to keep my blood sugar level down. Decent serving size for the price, although the sandwich was mostly bread. Wife had the pea pod soup, ideal for the cold windy day, and cold inside the restaurant too. Would I eat here again? Only ate here because it was close to the Rembrandt museum which we were visiting.

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.

Everything about this place was great!…read more I'll start with the service. We walked in around 4:10 and they didn't start food service for another 20 minutes. The waiter was super cool and told us to have a seat anywhere we liked and brought us a drink menu. He knew we wanted to eat so at exactly 4:30 he came and took our orders. Through out the meal he was on top of everything and even offered many suggestions! The food was spectacular as well. I had the trio of fries and my friends had other small plates that were all so good! And the sauces that come with the fries, mamma mia! We also shared the Boca's Platter and it was absolutely to die for. Do not pass this up. I repeat, do not pass this up! Between 4 people, the medium was plenty of food. The space itself was also nice. They had outdoor seating for nicer days. We went right when food service began on a Monday afternoon so can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. Go for the great service, go for the Boca Platter, whatever you do, just go!

The bruschetta was delicious and if you love blue cheese, get it...it's extremely rich and creamy. The three kinds of fries were solid; curly, sweet potato, and regular with some chili ketchups. The boca platter was HUGE and we got the medium for 4 people. Came with steak, fried shrimp, mackerel potato salad, crostini, and an assortment of cheeses and some pepperoni. Last but not least...my favorite...the tartare. The quail egg was delicately placed atop the center of the meat and placed alongside the four little crostini on the plate. It was juicy and had so much flavor, a little spicy but not an overwhelming amount of chili spice. This meal reminded me of tapas in Madrid; definitely stop by bocas and get everything!

We started with a fun Olive plate and added a fun Friet late with 3 different types of fries and dips. These were great appetizers, but our Vlees (medium size) Plate was even better - too many different things on it to list! I think we had 5 different types of meat, assorted veggies & dips, and toasted breads - SO GOOD! Three adults (2M & 1F) shared this, and we couldn't eat it all! The diners at the next table asked what it was, so they could order the same plate. It was that good. Hope to go back for more!!

We were attracted by their bountiful vegetarian options. I'm going to start with one of my dining companions who ordered the small vegetarian platter as her meal and freaked out that it would be too big after ordering it. It was pretty big but to no one's surprise, she had no problem tackling the whole thing. It contained a little sampling of many of their vegetarian options including a hummus, cheese, jackfruit something, a salad, rolls, and vegan sausage. This is a great way to try a bunch of different things or a solution if you can't decide what to order. GF and I did a similar sampling and ordered a few items to share: vegetarian or vegan (can't remember) bitterballen, vegan sausage sandwich, fries, and I couldn't resist trying MUSTARD SOUP. We had made our decision on the first few items but at the buzzer when placing our order, I noticed "mustard soup" and had to inquire what on earth that was. The waitress explained that it is literally mustard, cream, and broth and as as a mustard stan, I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by and added that to the order. The mustard soup was actually amazing, had onions which I hate but it was so good I was able to overlook that. The bitterballen were crispy and tasty. The vegan sausage sandwich was nothing outrageous but simple and got the job done. The fries include regular shoe-string fries, curly fries, and sweet potato fries with 3 dipping sauces. Don't ask me what the sauces were or which one I preferred because they were all satisfying in their own way. This is a great order to share. I'm glad we stopped by, I love their vegetarian/vegan options, menu diversity, and shareable dishes.

Unfortunately I was so disappointed in the food and the service. Plus the staff really didn't care if the experience was good or not. I ordered my Bali steak and instead got the normal gravy steak. It was a bit overdone. I waited for some time for the waiter to check on us and when he did, I told him I was served the wrong item. He reviewed the order and said he would bring me what I ordered. Meanwhile my husband finished prior to me receiving mine. All they did was take my old steak and add the new sauce. Now the steak was completely overcooked. MEDIOCRE. No one came back to check. We asked for our check and were asked if we wanted to add a tip and at that point we explained our experience. He apologized but offered only the explanation that there were several complaints that evening and it was because the normal cooking staff were not there. So unhappy. Will not be going back.

I'm writing mostly regarding the staff, location and dessert though. We had two slices of their Limoen Taart Roomkaas, which I think is their version of the Key Lime Pie (?). It was fantastic! At the time that we tried it, we were told that it was a new item. One of the Staff Members/Managers came by our table to see how we were doing. It was a pleasant short conversation and not at all obtrusive. I had a chance to take a good look around the restaurant, including the outdoor area. I could see the spot being a good place to be during warm weather as it sits on the edge of one of the canals. We took our talk out to one of the external tables before making the walk back to our hotel. Bottom Line: The place seemed like a really nice spot. I wish we had time to come back for dinner. I recommend you visit. I have the restaurant flagged for my next return visit.
