I visited Cannibale Royale Handboogstraat in April 2024 for lunch. They had a seat available for me without a reservation, but one first tip I would give from visiting this place multiple times is to try to make a reservation to ensure you have your spot. My intention was to order: (1) Favorite Ribs, (2) Sweet potato fries, (3) Caesar Salad, and some (4) Iced Tea. The staff was quite welcoming and friendly 5/5, and the place seemed decently clean 5/5. The atmosphere is on the quieter side, which does well for me 5/5. This was one of the places where I was able to keep my noise-cancellation headphones off, as long as other guests didn't go loud. The Favorite Ribs were easy to cut and eat, and of pleasant taste. The portion is fair for the price. The taste could have been stronger for a better experience. The ribs come with different sauces and small red plant-based salad-like addition (see the image). Overall, the ribs were fine for me, 5/5, with said remarks. The Caesar Salad was a blast! It was very rich in taste, lots of green stuff with cheese, sauce, crunchy bread bits, and a whole boiled egg on top and sliced in half. At the price point, that should get 5+/5. The sweet potato fries were fine, though quite unremarkable next to other meals: no strong taste nor particular freshness. And the price was rather high for the portion size. I would give them 3/5. The iced tea arrived with some ice and a lime slice, which I value highly, thus 5/5. Overall experience was a 5/5 for me.

A Delightful Steak and Burger Dining Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at an impressive steak and burger restaurant, and I wanted to share my experience with others. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that this establishment was special, and I was not disappointed. The service at this restaurant was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who went out of their way to ensure that our dining experience was memorable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to offer recommendations based on our preferences, making us feel truly welcome. In addition to the exceptional steak, the burgers at this restaurant were equally impressive. Juicy and full of flavor, they were a mouthwatering delight that left me craving more. The attention to detail in the presentation and quality of ingredients used made it clear that this restaurant takes pride in their creations. Overall, I cannot recommend this steak and burger restaurant enough. If you are a meat lover seeking a dining experience that will leave you wanting more, this is the place to be. The combination of excellent service, delectable food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for anyone in Amsterdam

So, there I was, stepping into Cannibale Royale, ready for a delicious meal. I couldn't help but notice the menu displayed outside, proudly presenting a mouthwatering hamburger for a reasonable 11 euros. Perfect, I thought. But little did I know, this was just the beginning of my culinary adventure. Once inside, the menu handed to us revealed a different story. Lo and behold, the same hamburger was now priced at 12.50 euros. Confused, I politely inquired about the sudden price hike. The waitress, with a nonchalant shrug, quipped, "That must be the old menu." Ah, the "old menu" trick, a classic move to keep us on our toes. Nevertheless, I decided to give the hamburger a shot, hoping it would make up for the menu mishap. To my relief, the burger itself was actually quite decent, accompanied by a side of enjoyable fries. But here's where the plot thickens: the burger was so moist that it practically had its own ecosystem. Juices were dripping left and right, making me question the burger's professionalism. A soggy surprise, indeed. Now, let's talk ambiance. Picture this: a group of ten lively French guys next to us, throwing mints around like confetti and serenading the entire restaurant with their enthusiastic renditions of French classics. The staff? Well, let's just say they seemed more like overwhelmed spectators than guardians of tranquility. Cannibale Royale was a chaotic circus, leaving me to wonder if I had stumbled into a tourist trap instead. Taking all of this into account, I find myself torn between conflicting thoughts and mixed flavors. On the one hand, the burger and fries were satisfactory, despite the unexpected moisture situation. On the other hand, the menu confusion and the staff's lack of control over the unruly French chorus didn't quite hit the right notes. Therefore, my verdict stands at three stars for Cannibale Royale. A fitting rating, as it coincides with the number of euros I overpaid due to the sneaky menu switcheroo. While the food held its ground, the inconsistencies and chaotic atmosphere prevent me from awarding a higher score. Let's hope the restaurant can iron out these quirks and find its true culinary harmony in the future.

10.2018: Ate here again with a close friend from abroad and I was just as satisfied with the meal as the first time, both were excellent and I enjoy consistency and dependably in a restaurant, especially for special occasions. We started with the nacho plate, which was both huge and tasty, pretty good for any place outside of the American Southwest. We both went for steaks, which was a good choice. Both cuts were good quality beef, perfectly cooked. We had a mid price bottle of Chilean red wine, which was a good compliment to the beef. The staff was friendly and accommodating, seating us a bit earlier, which we appreciated. Only down side it’s always completely full and incredibly loud. We really had to lean forward and almost shout to have a conversation. So not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner. Highly recommend it! 08.2018: Great steak! Reservations a day ahead at least are a must. Always full and a bit noisy but I came a bit early and managed to get a seat at the bar anyway. Glad I did! Food was excellent, with very good beef cooked perfectly. It’s a casual place so don’t expect fine dining but the results are worth it.

I highly recommend to book a table in advance as this place is very well frequented. The food served is of highest quality. The ribs are super smooth cooked and very well in its flavour. The mixed plate for 2 is also super and a recommendation if you're not sure what to choose. The absolute highlight was the steak. We ordered the 300g flat iron and the quality of the meat itself and the way it was prepared are extraordinary! 👌 (I've been to several steak houses which made it not better) Another highlight are the deserts: both the cheesecake and the brownie are out of this world. 🤤🤤🤤👌👌👌 The location itself has a very nice atmosphere. Sometimes the music can be a bit too loud but that is the only downside. The personnel is absolutely super nice. They made good recommendations, answered questions and always paying attention. And although many many people fluctuate through day by day they recognised us on Monday evening when we where there previously on Friday night. The also made some nice bit still decent chatting. We felt more than welcome and will stop by if we're going to Amsterdam again. Highly recommend!!
