    Heard it was the oldest Belgium fries shop in Brussels so I wanted to give it a try. It was decent but I didn't it was particularly worth trying, definitely not as some of the other frites shops in the city. Orders are made fresh and each frites order comes with a sauce of your choosing. I went andalouse. The frites are a little greasy and more bland compared to others in the city. It was also one of the cheaper frites shops I've tried on my stay in Brussels. You order at the counter, wait for your food and can grab a seat inside or outdoors. They tend to draw a crowd and Ive seen very long lines but it's moves pretty quite. I came on a late rainy weekday and it was about a 15 min wait.

    Big Frites w. Andalouse/Cocktail Sauce

    I had this place on my list to visit in Brussels. When my friend and I came by, we were immediately greeted with a long waiting line. Although it was decently long, we decided to stick it out. My friend and I decided to share a large portion of fries, which comes with 1 sauce. But we decided to purchase another sauce to try different things. We decided to go with andalouse & cocktail sauce. The fries come out warm and very crispy, so my first impression of Belgian frites was very positive. It's quite delicious and addicting to eat on its own. My personal favorite sauce is the andalouse - it tasted like ketchup/mayo with a herby/vinegary twist to it. I also got to try the cocktail sauce. On first impression, I didn't personally taste the whiskey as I was told it had, but I did taste something unique. It was quite interesting to say the least. I didn't mind it, but wasn't superior to andalouse (in my opinion).

    This particular friterie and Friterie Tabora nearby always seem to have a line -- and for a reason! There is debate on which is the best. Having never gone to the aforementioned shop, we had a choice and it was determined by our Airbnb hosts recommendation and the absence of a line at 17:00 on a weekday. Not a tourist trap in the least. Maybe the quality diminishes during a rush, but since we went during a slow hour we received fries with superior crunch and ultimate freshness. The sauce selection was vast and a bit mind boggling. We tried to keep it consistent with the curry ketchup but the andalouse did look appealing too as it is a sauce of a Belgian past time. We were able to enjoy our fries at their benches just outside the window which they have plenty of. Excellent quality and so, so recommended! Having experienced a tourist trap earlier in our trip, we did not feel trapped in the least. My only advice is to monitor the line and go when it is least busy that way you're guaranteed a fresher product and, in addition, a more pleasant experience.

    This is one of the many places you must try when in Brussels! The fries are served hot, perfectly golden and crispy! I chose the andalouse sauce for dipping and loved it's vinegary, light herb & mayo flavours. The service at the window was kind and effective. Do expect a lineup as this spot is popular amongst locals and tourists. Plenty of outdoor seating with some indoor tables too.

    This spot was recommended by our Guide as one of the best if not the best for Belgian Fries. Short queue that went fast when I visited. Fries were freshly made and they stay busy enough for made to order. About 10 different sauces which was a nice touch. Curry Ketchup (sweet/vinegar) and Americaine (a bit spicy) were the ones I liked. They also have Burgers and various types of Sausage. Ordered the Viandelle . The Baguette was massive and is too big for one sausage. You get grilled onions and lettuce. Pretty good. Boudin Blanc was also tasty (sliced and without the massive roll) Service was upbeat and fast. Plenty of outdoor seating as well inside. One of the oldest Fries spot and possibly the best.

    Absolutely obsessed with the frites from Fritland. Every sauce is amazing. The line is always long, but it moves super quick and the staff is very kind! If you are in Brussels, you have to stop here at some point!

    Fries are a must when in Belgium. My husband and I split an order of fries with dipping sauces and they were just okay. I do not get all of the hype behind this spot but it worked for a quick snack.

    Dolores D.

    Really good French fries. Plus you get to choose a sauce. Yummy. It's an out door setting.

    Came to Fritland per the recommendation of Belgian YouTubers, and I'm highly disappointed with it. We stopped by around 6pm on a Wednesday. The place had a serious line, but it moved fairly quickly. Our server was particularly a rockstar. We got a big order of fries, and my fiancé got a hot dog with saurkraut, mustard, ketchup, and mayo. Maybe because they double-fry their fries, I thought that Fritland's fries were the most greasy I've had during my trip. I wasn't super impressed by them either. They might as well have been like the fast-food fries from back at home. The different sauces were at least fun to try. The samurai was great. I get that Belgian fries are a must-have, but I wouldn't suggest Fritland to anyone wanting to try them. There have got to better fry spots out in the city.

    Came here because a Belgian coworker recommended this place. Got the large frites with sauce and some extra sides. The guy taking my order was rushing me a bit and after he took my order, went on a smoke break and sat down right next to me. Definitely not in America anymore. There is seating inside and well as outside. No heaters outside. Also, the logo is a guy with Frits having a wee? Is this right? Lol 2/5 - frites with sauce - the curry sauce is okay, the fries alone are without salt and small but square and thick. Not a fan 2/5 - chicken strips - three pieces that were decent. Pretty basic 2/5 - coquette - not bad but not great either. It comes in a ball and they quarter it and fry it. Not sure what all the hype is. I would not recommend.

    Small fries with sauce
    Tia K.

    Good fries. Very long line but fries are a must in Belgium since they originate here. Ordered a small with sauce for 4 euros. No sauce is one euro less. Sauce comes on the side, and they give a large portion for the sauce and for the fries. Recommend trying if you're in Brussels! However, I didn't think the fries were amazing or much better than normal. The staff do know English as well. There's indoor and outdoor seating.

    Soggy fries for €5 (small) with Pili Pili sauce.
    Andre S.

    Overrated. Soggy fries. I went there with high expectations but it was very disappointing experience.

    Sze Ting L.

    This place is right in the center of the grand place, so it has many tourists and locals alike and the queue is extremely long -- i don't think i've queued longer in any other place in belgium. The fries are solid, but not the best ones I had. They are cut a bit thick like the british style, but the sauce is really great (andalouse sauce is a Belgian specialty sauce consisting of mayonnaise, tomato paste, and peppers? similar to thousand island) and the portion is extremely huge. You can also get it in a sandwich, which I might try next time!

While the register states No Cards one of the servers told the table next to mine not worry when they didn't have enough euros. Only a drink menu was provided and the dishes being served that day were handwritten on moveable boards or posted on the wall. I had on my list a couple to try but finally went with the Belgian carbonades à la biere which was beef stew with mashed potatoes in a dark gravy made with beer. The plate was quite generous and much appreciated since I devoured it. I enjoyed the creaminess of the potatoes swirled with gravy but the meat could've been a tad bit more tender. Service was good. I think everyone on the floor stopped by my table for one reason or the other. Ambiance was casual and looked like many people were taking their time over their meals. When finished you need head to the register to settle the tab. I paid in cash. Worth a return visit.

I ordered the C'est si Bon combo platter, which included a salad, stoemp (mashed potatoes), meatballs in tomato sauce, carbonnade (Flemish beef stew), and vol au vent (chicken in white sauce). It wasn't bad. It's probably not really for my taste buds because it's so heavy but I'm glad it was a little bit of everything so I at least got to try it. I don't think I could have finished a full size of any of these entrees alone. I liked the beef stew more than I thought I would because the beef tends to be dry, but it was pretty tender here. The vol au vent was creative because the dish normally inside a puff pastry but since this was a sample, they put a miniature pastry ring on top, which was cute and made it less heavy. Hubby had La Dinantaise (assorted duck plate with foie gras, smoked breast, gizzards, rillettes, terrine) served with a salad. I enjoyed the foie gras and duck breast but the rest was meh, but more of a texture thing for me. Overall, the food was okay but if you're looking for a variety of dishes to try, this would be a good option.
