Cannibale Royale Handboogstraat is a steakhouse and grill restaurant in the heart of Amsterdam, tucked into a narrow lane just off the Kalverstraat shopping street. It is the brand's original and flagship location.
Known locally as 'het straatje', it is geared toward late-night dining, with a moody, rustic interior and a kitchen serving through the afternoon and into the small hours. Its central location makes it an easy walk-in stop for a group already exploring the city centre.
