🍖 The Late-Night Lair of the Carnivore King

#europeonbudget A ferocious 4.5-star steakhouse and burger bar, Cannibale Royale is Amsterdam’s ultimate destination for unapologetic meat indulgence. Its central Handboogstraat branch offers a darkly atmospheric, semi-hidden retreat serving massive portions of slow-cooked ribs, high-quality burgers, and premium steaks until the early hours. It's loud, satisfying, and dedicated to the art of the grill. The place for a sophisticated, rock-and-roll midnight feast. Where Quality Meets Quantity in the Night Cannibale Royale is more than a restaurant; it’s an integrated dining experience that blends a premium grill with a high-energy bar and late-night social spot. The Handboogstraat location—arguably the most central and original—is intentionally discreetly tucked away near the Spui, trading a bright storefront for a darkly atmospheric, rustic-industrial chic interior. The theme here is indulgence. The menu is a fierce celebration of the beast, with a strong focus on high-quality sourcing and grilling technique. While their signature burgers (like the 'Killer Burger') are hugely popular, the real stars are the slow-cooked, massive BBQ Ribs and the expertly charred steaks. The kitchen understands that a good steakhouse is built on flavor and portion size, delivering both generously. The major differentiating factor that makes Cannibale Royale an Amsterdam staple—and justifies its high rating—is its commitment to late-night service (open until 1 AM on weekdays, 2 AM on weekends). This is a rarity for this quality of cuisine in the city center. It’s the perfect place to start a night or to end one, ensuring you leave completely satisfied.
