    Frit Flagey was my favorite stop on my fry adventure through Brussels. Located in the center of a large cement open space, the hut seems a little bare and out of place. There are some concrete blocks to sit on and eat your fries, but otherwise not a lot of options to easily consume your starchy cone. There wasn't much of a line when I dropped by in the middle of the day, although definitely a steady stream of people dropping by. The staff are very friendly and lively, and helpful if you need to decipher the sauce menu. They can slather the sauce on top in a generous dollop on the fries, or give them to you 2 at a time in side cups. Fries have a hint of savoriness without being too greasy. Deliciously piping hot and starchy, and definitely tasted fresh despite it not being too busy. The sauces I tried were the samourai, which was deliciously spicy. The americaine and the curry ketchup were solid as well. Definitely a delicious option and absolutely a must stop in Brussels.

    Place Flagey has many great restaurants and bars within a very reasonable price range, but this one is by far my favorite. The frites are being cooked as you order, and are served fresh as well. The portion sizing is very large for Brussels (and Europe in general; if you are comparing them with American sizes), even for the smallest one. It took two of us to finish one funnel/cone of fries, so make sure you don't order too much! The fries are well seasoned and very hot when they hand you a portion, so be careful! Make sure to pick a sauce to go with the frites as well. The sauce choices are endless because there are so many options to choose from! I prefer sauce andalouse, Belgian mayonnaise, or ketchup. You can purchase multiple sauces. A very local place that is worth the wait! The line might seem daunting, but the food is delicious, and the service is quick, friendly, and helpful. The menu is also on both sides of the stand, and the prices are listed accordingly. Place Flagey also has many benches and places to sit and enjoy the square, so the outdoor atmosphere is very nice during the summer.

    Could the guys who work this stand be any cuter or hilarious. These guys literally have lines that wrap down the street, but when you get up there to place your order, they are so high energy and friendly as if they'd just opened up and you were their first customer. The fries really are the best fries you'll get in Belgium. I wish some of their ketchups and sauces didn't have mayonnaise in them...but hey...that would defeat the whole purpose.

    If you want fantastic frites for the walk home, go here. These frites are freshly fried to perfection and CHEAP. The place is around many different shops and cafes. Close to the bus stops and is really a must for quick eats. Highly recommend the Andalouse sauce with it which is ,70 more but it's worth it!

    Great Frites!! Located in a great part of the city, easily accessible and a fast moving line. Fries felt fresh and hot. Tried a few different sauces during my stay. The most popular sauce flavors are awesome, and if you're a little more adventurous try the "Brazil"

    Fries are pretty good, ordering is kind of messy though ( poor organization ). I didn't try the meat at all because I saw them handling it with no gloves or washing hands. I recommend the fries but for hygiene reasons I wouldn't touch any meat.

    Finest frites in Belgium? Perhaps. Perhaps. Definitely some of the best I've had since I've arrived here, and right at the heart of Ixelles. Frites/fries are probably one of my favorite foods since they're so easy to eat and they tastes good (usually) combine that with the right level of crispiness, to saltiness, and not overly greasy... and you have a winning combo. I've ran into a lot of greasy frites after arriving, and before arriving, but Frit Flagey's weren't greasy and were very light and seemed to be fairly fresh. Some of the smaller fry bits were too crispy and had settled to the bottom of the cone, but the larger fries were perfect. Top it off with a helping of andalouse sauce and you have perfection. The whole thing came to 3,10€ for a large-ish fry with sauce. When we arrived there was a tiny bit of a line outside, and I typically have seen a line everytime we've gone by whenever they were open except when it was heavily rainy. As others noted, they're not particularly friendly from what I've experienced overhearing or just observing people ordering whether in French or English. Just a standard cold business affair. No big deal. I'd really like to have explored the menu with all the different sauce options and side options, but I don't think I could handle another large cone. As much as I love fries, it would be tough. The sauce on top also seems at first not to be enough, but it will do the trick drenching all the fries as you dig through it. Frit Flagey also sits in a clearing with lots of benches to sit if it's a nice day or hang out in.

    We've seen this place all over those "Best Frites in Brussels" lists. We've had friends tell us it's the place they go to when they're looking for fries. So, we decided to have a Friday fries day at Frit' Flagey. We've tried a few of the other well touted spots in Brussels and we were hoping, due to the proximity of Frit' Flagey to where we live, that this might become 'our' fries spot. Well, it isn't. The fries were really over cooked and their sauces were, well, bland. When we first arrived there were a small little queue and it didn't take too long before we were at the front ordering our fries. One with mayonnaise and one with andalouse. It didn't take took long either, maybe four or five minutes before we had our fries in hand. They served a few people ahead of us and we're constantly frying up fries. Which is why it's so disappointing that ours were over fried. My andalouse sauce was fine, not much flavor but passable, my wife's mayonnaise in the other hand, had zero flavor. Nothing. Not a hint of mayonnaise flavor. It was just a bland white paste. We didn't even finish all the fires because we just couldn't be bothered to eat them. Really disappointed in this place. Doubt we'll give it another shot.

    I wanted to stop by Fritkot Bompa because I heard their sauce game was mad strong. But unfortunately they were closed when I got there, so I decided to backtrack a few minutes to Place Flagey to try Brussels' #2 frites powerhouse. The frites are smaller than the ones at Antoine, but a lot crispier and are at a nice level of warmth. Flagey's frites don't have that lard chicken fried after taste that Antoine's does so it gives off an illusion that it might be relatively healthy...er. The Andalouse sauce was on point, and the small size was portioned just about right; whereas Maison Antoine's felt like a meal, this is more in the range of a heavy snack.

    Skip all the touristy fritkots in Brussels! Frit Flagey has some of the best frites i've had. I've tried Fritland in the center, and it cannot compare to this little fritkot. The line here is much shorter as well. They have many choices for sauces, my favorite being samourai since it has a little kick of spice. One small cone of frites with sauce was only 3€, which is a great deal considering how big the portion is. I'm fairly certain that Frit Flagey has the best frites in Brussels!

    The crispiest frites ever! A definite must have in Brussels!! Crispy outside soft inside with a variety of sauces!

    I'd read that this was maybe the best frite stand in Brussels, so as we were in the area, made a journey. Did have to wait in a long queue, but got them in the end and they were tasty. Did my life change? No. They were good frites, nice sauces, but they were frites. I guess I'm not enough of a connoisseur to distinguish between good and great frites, maybe? Anyway, if you're in the area, these are a good option, but I would not travel just for the sake of this stand. (however, the neighbourhood is very nice if the weather is good and you're looking for a scenic spot for a stroll)

    The fries with anadalouse sauce are soo good. Perfectly soft in the middle and slightly crispy at the same time. This spot is iconic, and it's great that you can enjoy the fries at the nearby gorgeous Ixelle Ponds and Park.

    I've been here twice and the frits are amazing! There's always a long line because the frits are so crispy.

    Used to have better fries than they currently do. Not as good as Bompa or Tabora, but still decent if you're around the area.

    As for sauces, go for the mayonnaise or sauce andalouse -- never ketchup.

    Since I was in Belgium (which is the country that invented french fries if you weren't aware), I…read moreknew that I needed to check out some good friteries around the city. There were some recommendations online for Fritteria Tabora, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to check it out. It's a small shop that is to-go, and there was a long line that we waited out of for around half an hour. When you order, they'll essentially scoop the fries out of the oil and put it onto a plate for you. Afterwards, you can order different sauces to try it with. They recommended the Andalouse sauce, so we decided to get that one. I have to say that this was probably the best fries that I had during my trip in Belgium (esp after trying it at like 8 different places), so I think that it was worth the wait. These were the most crispy and had the most satisfying crunch overall so far. Even though the line might be long, if you want to try out what Belgium is known for then I think it's worth the wait.

    Nothing in this world brings me more joy than French fries. Actually, let's take it a step further…read more-- nothing on this planet brings me more joy than French fries with multiple sauces. Sweet curry, buffalo, barbecue... not ketchup and mayo. The line was long -- like the whole city had the same craving at the same time. Total Spider-Man meme moment... everybody pointing like, "Oh, you're me? You're me?" The fries were fresh -- not sitting there waiting on somebody. They cook them to order. You literally see the raw fries, then the cooked fries, and it's like an assembly line. One guy takes your sauce order, the other guy repeats it back like telephone, and you watch it get passed down and checked. You get hype listing sauces and then they hit you with, "Only three" before you get too crazy. Service is quick and friendly. They don't ask a million questions because it's simple -- we sell fries and sauces. What do you want? Ambience: tiny walk-up, as small as a food spot can get, but it works. No yelling, no "my order is wrong," none of that. There are tables out front so you can sit, eat, and people-watch on a nice night (or day). Amazing experience. Would absolutely recommend.
