It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

I got there fairly early by European standards - a little after 19:00, and had the place mostly to myself. No reservations needed at this time of the evening, and year (early Feb.), and service was great. Nice conversation for this solo diner. Had the Scallop fregola / samphire / beetroot puree / pancetta / champagne beurre blanc appetizer for dinner with a glass of white wine. Delicious combination of flavors that I was hoping to find a recipe for to make back home, but no luck. Aww, shucks, looks like I will need to go back to Amsterdam and visit Lion Noir again!

The menu is very limited. The oysters were good, the corn chowder had no flavor and the blinis where just ok.

After waiting more than 30 min and no one even coming to see if we wanted a dessert (which we did), we decided to just leave and go have ice cream instead.

The escargots were nicely tender and soaked in a flavorful herb and garlic butter. The second was the Drie Crostini Belhamel. This featured three crispy crostini's topped with high quality mouthwatering toppings of tender smoked salmon, fresh tender beef tartare topped with a yolky egg, and cool salty Iberico. For my entrée I had the Tournedos Rossini. Tender juicy steak sat on a bed of crisp asparagus and savory potatoes and topped with a buttery foie gras. For dessert I had the Basque Cheesecake which had a creamy airy texture and was topped with a sweet flavorful kumquat marmalade. Overall, our dinner was enjoyable and delicious.

They do make up for it with their personalities. The restaurant itself is small and typically can hold groups of 2 to 5. The menu is small, but all the dishes are high quality. 1. Amuse bouche goat cheese - had a nice smoky flavor and fresh 2. Scallops - small but packed with flavor. There is a white sauce that complimented the scallops and the bread pastry with onions 3. Goat cheese terrine - very nice soft goat cheese mixed with onions as well as berry and veggies. Only wish there was more bread. 4. Sea bream - very nicely done with a fresh taste of the meat and a crispy skin. Pairs well with its sauce and tomatoes. 5. Ravioli - nicely done al dente with a herby sauce and packed ravioli 6. Bread pudding - one of the best I've had and came out fresh and hot. Comes with a white sauce as well as boozy caramel sauce.
