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!

Ranked 19 of 3418 restaurants in Amsterdam on Tripadvisor. Good ambiance with a front row seat of a view of the river, and lighted buildings on the other side. Service has to be good, as they offer a daily complimentary breakfast buffet to Hilton Gold and Diamond guests of the hotel . Among their breakfast offerings are fried fish, fried chicken, and beef meatballs. They also offer a late afternoon happy hour with drinks and appetizers in the executive lounge for Hilton Diamond members. We ate here our first night in Amsterdam for dinner, as we were tired and unfamiliar with our surroundings. The 6 euro mixed salad came with cucumbers, raw onion rings, croutons and mixed greens in a vinaigrette sauce. Loved the raw onion rings, which went well with the mixed greens in a large bowl. The 26 euro sea bass came in a tomato risotto with lentils. Portion size on the small side, but wife ate the entire fillet without any problems. Pricey for what you get. The 21 euro hamburger came with the usual lettuce, tomato, but no pickle. Thick rings of raw onions over a half pound medium cooked by default beef patty, along with bacon and cheddar. This burger was so large it was definitely a knife and fork job, as too big for any mouth. I declined the fries, which cost 6 euros, and enjoyed the burger, covered with a zesty bbq sauce. No cheddar cheese for me, as not a cheese fan. Steaks run from the 25-euro 160 gram Lady steak to the 105-euro 1000 gram Bife de Tira sirlon steak. 1 euro is about $1.05. Prices seem expensive but include 9% tax and tip. Also enclosed a picture of the fruit sampling at breakfast, along with a razor thin Dutch pancake. I'll stick to the pancakes back in the USA. BTW no pictures of Clint Eastwood anywhere to be seen.

The place is packed at night and I don't get why maybe because of convenience. I tried their chicken crispy item it is unseasoned, skirt steak which is a piece of meat not really skirt steak unseasoned as well. The burger has no salt or pepper and it has this onion compote that is way too sour. The kimchi served with the h lien is weird. The steam vegetables when brought to the table smelled bad. OK I will stop now and hoping that they will improve the quality taste and presentation.

I ordered the Angus rib steak and they recommended medium, but my steak was quite pink and very chewy. My friends remarked it looked more like medium rare or even rare and I agreed. It was very hard to chew the pieces. The right part of the steak was also a lot of gristle or cartilage. The herb butter was not bad and I ended up using a lot of it on the steak. I did share a split pea soup with my spouse and we liked the soup. It had boar sausage and I didn't think it was that salty like I normally do with a lot of sausage. The soup was quite thick and the flavors were nice. The pea flavors were indeed strong. My friend got the beef stew but they didn't give you that much meat. They did give you a lot of fries though. I thought the fries were thick and not bad. My spouse and friend both ordered the Zealand mussels and it came in this giant pot. The soup was at the bottom but it was difficult to get to the soup at the bottom of the pot since the mussels were on top. They bought thought this dish was okay. They didn't charge for water here which was nice. It's a tossup in Europe if they will charge you for water!

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.
