Anyone who has ever been to basically any country in the EU knows that people take their fries…read moreseriously. RPEL is a cool hipster joint that serves fries made from organic potatoes here in the city of Eindhoven in the southern part of the Netherlands. The vibe is cool and ambience is hip and casual. The Dutch people consider fries to be their main course, not an appetizer. Therefore places like this are quite packed during lunch and dinner times. RPEL also has gourmet dipping sauces to accompany your fries with such as mayo, Belgian mayo, BBQ, curry sauce, applesauce (a German thing) and their new citrus and truffle mayos. The citrus had the nice touch of actual lime zest sprinkled on it, and the truffle mayo was definitely delicious. They also have a variety of other friend foods to snack on. Yes. Yes I would definitely go back.

BEST FRIES IN EINDHOVEN!!! These mofo's are thick and fried to the perfect crispiness. I almost…read morealways get the mayo which is really good here. They also have Belgian mayo here (a bit more sour), along with all the other sauces that most fry shacks in Holland carry, such as speciaal (mayo, curry ketchup, & onions) & oorlog (mayo & satay sauce). My only gripe is that I never know when they open. They seem to be closed most of the times that I want to eat from them... which I guess is pretty much every time I pass by the area. haha. :P ok. nevermind. This was my absolute favorite thing to eat in Holland. I have been forever spoiled by these fries. I will surely miss them!

They have great deals on meals, and the food is really good. They have good fried chicken, pizza, and quite possibly the best shoarma in town.

This is one of the largest La Place's that I've ever been to with many many different options to pick from, they even have a froyo machine! Lots of seating inside and out and plenty of room all around. Drawbacks? pay toilets... wtf?

We stumbled onto this place while working in Arnhem. This is by far one of the best places we have…read moreeaten at while here for the last three weeks. The Chef, who's name I will not butcher was extremely eager to tell us about his burgers, his specials and that he could make any burger on the menu vegetarian to suit my dietary habit instead of just offering one kind of vegetarian burger. Best Vegetarian Burgers around, The World! . My friends are all carnivores and loved this place. We have gone back again since our first experience and loved this place. It's priced very fair for the quality and quantity that you receive. The staff are beyond friendly. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. You won't be sorry!

There is something ironic about a "fry tent" showing the 24 Kitchen cooking channel on its tv, but…read morethis place embraces that irony. They have won something called the Frietopia award from 2009-2014. No word on what happened in 2015. The fries are really rich and fatty, and have a subtle potato flavor. The croquettes and chicken sticks are extra crispy, and a little longer than the average croquette format. The vanilla milkshake tasted very artificial, it was very sad. They have a limit of 6 small fries per person, so that the line doesn't move any slower than it already does, so keep that in mind if you're ordering for a large group. The line at the counter was crazy. We waited 45 minutes before we could order and another 10-15 minutes for our food at 6:30pm on a Saturday night. I don't think it's worth it just for the fries, but clearly many other people disagree with me, otherwise there wouldn't be such a crowd. The wait was sort of gezellig, with people of all types cramming into the small shop. Some of the older women in line got all judgey at me for having a 2 year old in this establishment, but I guess that's just an old fashioned Dutch mentality. Like I said, you'll see all kinds here.

Now, we Dutchies take our fries seriously. Chips, they call them over here in Edinburgh, but for us…read morethey'll always simply be frieten. And down in the South of the Netherlands, we really know our fries. This place is my dirty little secret. So you'd better be grateful I'm letting on! It's not something you'd probably find on your own, it being such a hole-in-the-wall but I promise you, you will not find better fries. This, my friends, is one of the top 3 (!) frieshops in the Netherlands. How do I know? Duh, because we have the National Fries Test, of course. (Yes, we're a funny lot, but we know our priorities). This place has been serving me since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I believe the saying is, and it will serve me until I die. A Dutchie without patat is a dangerous thing indeed. Pop by here on a weekday, between regular meal-hours or you'll find all the locals lining up around the block (I wish I were kidding) for a pointy bag of fries. I once stood in the freezing cold, a thick 2 inches of snow, for 45 minutes just to get my hand on some fries. Believe me, I'd do it again. Probably will actually come December. Those golden brown and crispy thickly cut fries, with proper mayonnaise on them. Oooh there's just nothing that beats it! Right, when you're in town, and in need of some proper fries (with mayo please) this is the spot!
