If you're gonna specialize in one thing, you better do it well. When the shop has "Fries" in the name, and from Belgium, then it better be amazing to impress me because I had the real thing. Luckily, the fries here are absolutely fantastic. First of all, it is very crispy but also airy. Just as important for me though is how potato-y it always tastes. As a complete package, it is one of the best fries in all of NYC imho. My favorite sauces Roasted Garlic Aioli and Black Truffle Mayo. On my most recent visit, I had the limited time Fries Cream, which is a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a bunch of fries. Fyi, I love this combination for its savory and sweet flavors, as well as the hot and cold contrasting elements. Really great treat. If you are looking for good fries, you found it. read more

Had a taste for some fancy French fries, so I hit up Bel-Fries. It's an open store front with outdoor seating. The weather was nice out, so I opted to sit and eat my fries. The fries were made to order, so they were nice and hot. The Caviar Fries had a nice crunch and good seasoning. The caviar was not too salty or fishy. I could have done without the sour cream, but it gave it a more polished look. $10 is a good price. 4/5 Til we eat again ... read more

A nice hole In the wall spot for some quick grab and go fries. I came to try out their caviar fries promotion and it was an interesting combination, but worked out. Besides the caviar, their fries are one of the best I've had, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Will definitely swing by to to out more of their combinations. Ordering is simple and the food comes out in a timely manner. One downside is not much seating though there a couple set up tables/chairs outside. read more

Came here Sunday evening when no one was here, and I must say I was already turned off by the service when first getting there. The staff working seemed to be bothered as he was on his phone before AND while I was ordering, barely acknowledging and providing any sort of service. I got the medium pommes frites with frites sauce, curry mango and smokey chipotle sauce. The fries came out pipping hot, with a delicious crunchy outside and soft inside. The sauce portions are really generous, but none of them really stood out to me. The curry mango was the best of the three. If I was having a craving for fries, I'd definitely go to Pommes Frites over in Greenwich Village over this. read more

Came here for a quick bite! It was difficult to choose just one flavor as they all sounded very good. The service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. There was a choice of putting the fries in a cone-shaped holder (S, M, L) or a box. We opted for the box cause it was easier to put down and share. My friend and I got truffle fries with truffle sauce. The truffle aroma was strong, and the cheese on top complemented it perfectly. There are tables available to enjoy your food. read more

Great snack for a freezing day. My boo and I ordered two of their paper cones: one filled with Bel-Fries and the other filled with popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken had fresh white meat and was larger in size than most popcorn chicken I've tried. I would moreso call it chicken nuggets. The breading was a bit on the thick side and not so flavorful. They did offer sauces, one star removed for that. It was a $2.50 upcharge per sauce and they don't give enough for one to fully enjoy their eats with. The fries were tasty and imo balanced out the plain tasting chicken nuggets, but they did add too much salt because all of the fries at the bottom were blech with the salt that shifted downward. I think their bottom fries would be tastier and less likely to accumulate excess salt if they added seasoning when frying instead of afterwards. The service was fast and friendly. They explained things we weren't sure about. Happy eats! read more

Stopped by here while checking out food in the area and seeing there was a fry spot which I love. I got the Cajun fries which came with two sauces one I believe with their truffle sauce and the other was like a barbecue sauce. I was not a fan of the barbecue sauce, but the truffle sauce was good. My sister also got mozzarella sticks and fries and loved it. The menu has a lot of different fry options which is really cool that range from I believe $12-$15. Service was OK nothing to brag over. He took our orders, made it, and gave it to us. The Cajun fries had a good flavor, and the poutine fries were even better though very decadent. There are also some carbonated drinks you can buy. There is small patio seating right outside the restaurant that you can sit at. read more

My friend and I did a food tour in the city and we came across this spot as we wandered in the Lower East Side. Note: it is a walkup counter with a couple tables so be mindful of the limited seating. They have an array of different options for fries plus sauces. We decided to split the smallest size of the double truffle. The portions are pretty big and a small could honestly feed 3 people! Fries come out piping hot so be careful when you take a bite but they are cooked to perfection. The truffle sauce was so good! Had to top it off with a Diet Coke to drink. read more

My husband and I love fries so we had to sample this place. Thankfully we already had many great food throughout the day so we didn't need much late in the day. We just got the classic in small - we didn't want to pay for dipping sauce so we just went with the default ketchup. The fries were well seasoned and were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside - the way fries should be. Prices were alright for NYC. As for the service...not sure but the cashier seems to be a bit shady. The couple ahead of us left the screen on the tip page so we had to wait until the screen was ready for our transaction, but the cashier seems to have filled out the tip field himself. I think people need to be more conscious about this if they don't want any troubles. There were some seats outside which had an awning so that was nice. read more

Saw that there was a fries place after our Burlesque show nearby and wanted to check it out. While the fries were OK, what made this an extremely poor experience for me was the service. The two guys working 11/16 Saturday night had the worst attitudes I've ever seen - even for NYC standards. They genuinely looked pissed off taking your order and did things incredibly slowly. If you show even a shred of annoyance, they will slow your order down to crawl and give you sarcastic remarks. If you check in on Yelp AND write a review in front of them you get 10% off, but then they take your number, email, and name for some reason and text it to the owner. read more

I had had these fries before several months back on a late night with some friends and thought they were pretty good. I had an event at 7 today so I decided to go for some quick fries since I wasn't going to have time for dinner. Got a free sample which was a nice gesture. The fries were fine but I did think to myself, hey that's a little sus that all the sauces are just off to the side in dispensers and I wonder how old the sauces are. It's a random Tuesday, not exactly a busy day, so I did have a fleeting thought that the sauces could be off. They tasted fine although they were super runny. It's 5 hours later and I have been on the toilet for the last 30 min emptying out my entire existence. There's nothing else I ate today that was suspicious. I don't think I'll come here again unless they sort out how the sauces are stored and I can rebuild trust in their freshness. $13 for some small fries, a couple sauces, and horrific indigestion is just not worth it. UPDATE: now 6 hours later I just puked up all the fries. definitely food poisoning. Thanks Bel Fries! read more

If you're looking for fries that will make you question every life choice leading up to your decision to order a salad instead, Bel-fries is your place. Let's break it down: Animal Fries (m): These fries are so good they should come with a warning label. Poutine Fries (m): Fabulous doesn't even begin to cover it. These fries come smothered in gravy and cheese curds like they're trying to win a "Most Indulgent Dish" award. Definitely a dish for people who believe calories are just a conspiracy. Queso and Bacon Fries (m): Seriously. Order a small, unless you're training for a competitive eating contest. The medium is enough to make you feel like you've swallowed a small, delicious boulder. In summary, these fries are a gut-busting, belly-filling extravaganza. Enjoy every bite and remember: you might need to roll home. read more

The fries from bel-fries were pretty good! I got the cheese fries from there and it was flavorful. The fries were really seasoned. The portion size was also huge and it fills you up. I also liked the sauce options they had such as curry mango and sricha mayo. The service was also pretty good, the cashier was polite and gave good suggestions.

I decided to stop here because my youngest did not want to eat any K dogs. I remember this place from trying their fries at a night market that I had visited. They were really hot and crispy fat fries and were delightful to eat. So we came to this location and ordered on our first visit some mini corn dogs and fries and some dipping sauces on the side. DELICIOUS! The truffle sauce is a must. On the next visit was the popcorn chicken and fries. My overall take is that the mini corn dogs were so good that I didn't get to take a picture. The popcorn chicken my daughter enjoyed, but yes, the fries are the winner winner best dinner of the evening. I would pass on the cheese sauce and the Samari sauce. Just go with the truffle. That's all you need. It's so worth it. Two thumbs up from me, yes I will make another return to this franchise, maybe not this location, but I will have those fries again. Happy Yelping! read more

I had heard a lot about Bel Fries, so I decided to check it out - It was disappointing. The traditional Bel Fries are nothing special and sauce is a separate cost. Additionally, when I visited with friends, the male worker with curly hair and a beard had a terrible attitude because we ordered separately - the service was horrible and he seemed to be bothered at every other interaction he had with customers. There is seating available through, in case you you want to sit and eat. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

This has been a spot that I've wanted to visit for a while. I arrived here around 5pm on a rainy day. The staff member was only person there. My friend and i ordered 3 different of their menu items as we wanted to have a variety to try. We got (all in small size) the - Queso & Bacon 5/5 this one was delicious. The fries were toasty and warm and fluffy on the inside. The queso had a nice thick cheesy flavor. The bacon was so nice too, it was a nice thick cut and had a perfectly salty taste. When the employee was assembling the fries, i had made a quiet comment to my friend that they should add more bacon. I must not have said it quiet enough cause the employee heard me and said alright and added another scoop of bacon! Thanks for the bacon generosity!!! - the cajun fries 4/5 were seasoned perfectly and they came with 2 sauces (not pictured) we got the samurai sauce 4.5/5 and frite sauce 2.5/5. The fries paired great with the sauces. The samurai sauce was tart and had a lytle heat which was great. The frite sauce had a thick mayo feeling and tast that I didn't enjoy but my friend did. - the popcorn chicken and fries 3.5/5 felt like a McDonalds old school chicken tender chicken which i enjoyed. All the food was great, the service was great and I will return to try the poutine and other sauces. read more

Really great fries, pricey though. First time we went, they didn't have all the toppings ready when they opened, so ended up just getting plain fries with sauce on the side, still very good fries. Service is a hit or miss... 2nd time there, got our order wrong and we had specifically asked for it in a cone, came in a box. Ordered another set of fries, again asked specifically in a cone, came in a box again. If you can't hear the customer's order correctly, maybe lower the music.

This place is unfortunately a bit small but there are tables to sit down in front plus a touch screen menu to order if you don't feel like interacting with the staff. The Menu is vast with getting Frites starting from Regular to Double if you really want to share fries with. There's also the option to get sauces which is a must if you crave something to mix those fries in. I think I waited about 10 or so minutes after placing my order and my Belgium Frites were ready. I ordered the Truffle Frites. They are drizzled with Truffle Oil and garnished with freshly grated Italian Parmesan Cheese & Savory Herbs. I also got The Roasted Garlic Aioli which consisted of crispy roasted garlic, simmering onion & spices with a touch of anchovy. A very dangerous combo but I promise you; it's delicious. My first reaction was seeing that the person who put my fries in a paper cone. He filled the entire cone and then filled partly a second paper cone and layered it on top so it did not spill. Amazing! I was in shock of how much fries you get for just the regular size. The Truffle Frites were pretty much what you'd expect. Hot to the touch and the bite, it's crispy on the exterior a slight soft chew when you take a bite. It's really hard to complain when you get fries made to order and it's exactly how you want it to be. Did I even mention that they are also open till late too? This might be a fever dream if this was near me. Unfortunately, I'm a bit too far from NYC to visit this place often. But when I'm in the area; this is a must visit for sure!

We appreciated the fans set up to keep the air circulating. Service was very attentive while we were there. Everyone with whom we interacted was gracious, friendly and attentive. Really, no complaints about service. The food? We had some hits and some misses. The mussels were a hit and the portion was generous. The fries were great but some crusty French bread would have been a good addition, to help soak up the flavorful broth. The Merguez sandwich was a miss. Despite the menu stating that it was served on a baguette (and picture on Yelp of other diners receiving the sandwich on a baguette), ours was served on ciabatta. Really, not the same thing. We did not say anything at the time but we would not have ordered it had we known. Total disappointment. Also, the person on our party that ordered this sandwich found the fries way too salty. Luckily, the attentive staff kept the water refills flowing. I doubt we would return to this restaurant in the future the next time we're in the area, despite the friendly and attentive service.

Wow, how have I not reviewed one of my favorite go-to spots in NYC yet!!??…read more I have been going to BXL Cafe since the mid-2000's and make a point of hitting it every single visit to the city. The first time, we stumbled into it during a snowstorm, seeking shelter after visiting Time Square with a group of friends, one of whom was in the city with us for his very last trip on this earth. He was very sadly dying of cancer and dreamed of being able to go to NYC one last time. May he be resting in peace. On my last night in the city, I suggested to clients of mine that we hit BXL Cafe and they were all willing and ready. Like every other visit, the service, drinks and food were all fantastic so I'm surprised by some of the 3-star reviews because this place is fantastic. This was a Thursday night and the place was absolutely mobbed. It was a bit of a squeeze getting to the table I reserved in the back where I joined my clients/friends of many years. Our server was awesome, very attentive, friendly, and put up with us trying to hook up our one single buddy at the table that night. She suggested we start with the croquettes and even though I had been raving about the mussels, some in our party ordered other things. No clue why! The mussels are always amazing. My clients/friends did enjoy what they ordered. The croquettes were very tasty; I believe my favorite was the ham croquettes. I didn't quite care for the shrimp croquettes, I mean, if I had to pick in the future. My go-to has always been the Thailandaise Mussels with coconut milk, lemon grass and curry. This has always been so awesome, I never stray from it. Sooooo good and a massive portion in a big 'ol black pot served with crusty bread and a big portion of fries. I guess my only complaint would be that while the fries are good and crispy, they aren't the traditional double fried in duck fat fries of true Belgian Moules Frites eateries. My favorite in this true Belgian way is the fries served at Wurstkuche in L.A. (of all places). These fries are absolutely heavenly and I'd suggest BXL (and The Back Abbey in Claremont, CA) set up a conference call with Wurstkuche so they can perfect theirs. Still, BXL Cafe is an absolutely wonderful stop and well, the beer on tap and by the bottle is always fantastic and fresh. Long live BXL Cafe! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It was great night out.

The service was quick and attentive. I ordered the carbonnade flamande, which is a beef stew made with Belgian beer. My friend ordered the Moules Frites. Normally I'd get the Moules Frites as well but I wanted to vary it up since I had seafood for takeout the night before. This was my first time having this beef dish. You could taste the beer in the beef stew but it wasn't too overpowering. Felt almost like a goulash. I was hoping for something with a bit more seasoning but overall, it was ok. The dish came with frites too which I was excited to try. They were crispy yet soft on the inside. I like my fries a little more skinny and crispy but these went well with the beef gravy on the side. Overall, the evening was pleasant but the food wasn't the best Belgian I've had, about a 3/5 for me. Just so so. Also, as a side note - They really need to work on their bathroom situation. The queue was really long for one stall and people were lined up the whole time we were there.

Located in East Harlem, the subway took me to 103rd Street. A steep hill fortified my appetite. Cafe D'Anvers is easy to spot with it's inviting red exterior. Laura was at the table. Jackie greeted us cheerfully. We came here for Moules Frites which we ordered and a glass of Sancerre to wash it down. Two large kettles were put down in front of us with plenty of mussels and a separate bowl of fries. Mayo and ketchup to dip the fries. I prefer mayo. We ate our way enjoying the meal. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with a sour cherry sauce and their signature chocolate mousse with strawberries and puffs of whipped cream. Both desserts satisfied immense. I recognized the mousse cups as I had bought them at Eataly. Jackie told us that they make the mousse and have an account with Eataly to sell it there. Laura and I enjoyed our lunch here. I also spied Jo Malone hand wash of English Pear and Freesia in the gender neutral restroom. Cafe D'Anvers is a cozy restaurant with both seating and a bar area. I am looking forward to another meal here.

Stumbled upon here on my walk through the park, and I've been coming back every chance I get. It's so peaceful, I feel like I'm in a cottage in the forest. Outdoor patio tables, indoor bakery and small table service area. Bakery was fresh the time I went. Pleasantly surprised because you never really know how the baked goods will be behind the window display. I got the double chocolate cookie and a cafe au lait. Café au lait was warm and comforting. Cookie was chewy and fresh. Was so happy with it I decided to try another baked good to take out with me. Pain au chocolat. It was decent and good but not overwhelming or amazing in my opinion, but I'm picky on croissants. It was perfectly fine though, buttery, flaky, with some chocolate inside. Glad it wasn't dry. Other cafe fare looks good, interested in the quiche or maybe avocado toast or salad. I love coming by here even just to enjoy the location. Lot of tourists it seems, but for good reason. Nice location, cute cafe, quiet spot in the park.

Village eateries helmed by power-chef duo Jody Williams and Rita Sodi; four are within a block of each other. I passed the other three (Bar Pisellino, Via Carota, I Sodi) on my way and all had lines out the door. Carota and Sodi are Italian, Buvette is French. There are 2 other Buvettes in Asia and one coming soon in London. Buvette does not do reservations. Buvette is a charming but tiny/cramped space, made more tiny within the last year by NYC's removal of pandemic-era street patios which greatly helped dining capacity. Buvette may sometimes have a few front sidewalk tables, and there's a tiny outdoor patio in the back. The tables and dishware are also tiny. There's a kitchen in the back, but some food is also prepared below the bar in front, where there seem to be some ovens. The food seems reliably consistent here. The menu is short but there are daily specials. I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger soda, crab tartine (a special), lobster a l'Americaine (lobster pot pie) and frites. The soda is always on the menu and is refreshing, with a nice snap of ginger. The crab tartine was fab, a fresh crab salad with avocado atop toast. The lobster pot pie was made in the under-bar oven, a small serving of lobster and veggies with a golden puff pastry topper. Delish. The frites were nicely crisp, served with an aioli. Service was okay, but my hot food took about 45 minutes to come out, apparently because my ticket was lost. Overall a pleasant meal, my first during this visit.
