Spareribs in Amsterdam that are finger licking good
Who thinks that this list of the best spareribs in Amsterdam was written just for men, is wrong! For many women, spareribs are a guilty pleasure. Fortunately, there are several places in Amsterdam that serve delicious ribs. From real meat restaurants to pubs. And from tough men spots to fancy restaurants. Read this blog with our 13 favourite places for spareribs in Amsterdam!
Cannibale Royale
For meat lovers, Cannibale Royale must be familiar. Here you go for burgers, ribs, steaks and other delicious meat dishes. And especially for these spareribs we stop by very often. Cannibale itself is also a fan, because on the menu they call it “Cannibale’s Favourite Ribs”. Slow roasted and glazed in a sweet marinade. We like!

BAR-becue Castell
Most of the time we stay far away from touristic Leidseplein. But for a visit to Castell we will make an exception. This barbecue restaurant namely serves some great spareribs. And good to know: the restaurant has tables for 8 to 12 people so go here with all your friends!

Venus & Adonis
Ever since the opening of bar and grill Venus & Adonis I am a fan of this restaurant. Because it is beautifully decorated (classic with a modern touch) but also because you can eat very well here. You can order their ribs, cooked on the charcoal grill, as a starter. But if it is up to me, I’d order some portions and enjoy ribs all night long.

Snappers
Cafe Snappers on the Reguliers is all about comfort food and of course you’ll also find spareribs on the menu. The spare ribs are super soft and juicy; exactly the way you want them. You get a big portion and make sure not so share with anyone. You want them all for yourself. Oh and do not forget to order a tequila cocktail on the side!

Cafe Maxwell
The Beukenplein is one of the nicest squares in Amsterdam East don’t you think? Here you will find the small and oh so cozy eatery Maxwell. With on the menu “Maxwell Ribs” served with garlic sauce (and a salad + fries when you order the ribs as a main course). This dish is the secret of the chef and we totally understand why. Go try it for yourself!

Who likes meat has surely been to Cafe Carbon at De Pijp. An old pub slash steakhouse. I always like to order a plate to share, with all kinds of meat. And yes: this includes spareribs. But you can also order a dish with only ribs and some side dishes like a salad, baked potato or fries.
