Frit Flagey

A delicious frituur/friterie!! It gets crowded here on weekday evenings when the sun is out or the weather is gorgeous, as well as weekends when the farmers' market is happening. Easy, no frills- order your cone of frites in a small/petite/klein size or large/grande/groot size, or any of the fried goodies + your choice of sauce for under a euro and a drink and enjoy it on Place Flagey! Fried, delicious, and unpretentious goodness!

I am a little biased since this was my second fries spot after maison Antoine. Fries were ok and some burnt. The tartare sauce was a disappointment, unfortunately the texture and taste were not quite there.

I don't recommend going out of your way to try this place unless you're in the area and craving fries.

A large (€3.30) is more than enough for 2 people. There was a line but the wait was about 10 minutes. I got the mayo & samurai, the misses got a small with andalouse. We took the #71 bus from the bus stop next to the palace to the Flagey Square. About a 5-10 min bus ride.

We literally walked by this place and saw the queue and was like huh?! What are people queuing for?! Frites!!! The small/petit is 2.8 and the grande/large is 3.1. The line took around 15-20 min depending on the time of day I guess. There's around ten types of sauces to choose from which really makes this place stand out. Well it was our first official Belgian Frite and we would not dare to go anywhere touristy and this is a more local neighborhood. Excellent choice. We got the Samurai and the Andalouse dips. Dips are .8 cents each. Very delicious fries and the small was perfect don't try to stuff yourself but the large is definitely better value for a 30 cent difference you get a whole lot more fry. They also sell some other stuff which doesn't seem as popular.

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.

Yesss, as good as it gets. I love these types of places that are no fuss (it's two guys in a large stand at the edge of an open concrete area), affordable, great food, worth whatever wait in line (although I didn't really wait -- there were maybe two people in front of me).

This was on my list as the place I wanted to get frites before I left Brussels, and the fact that a friend who now lives here also mentioned it, sealed the deal even more.

Such fresh frites served in a cone (the small is enough for one hungry person) and with a huge dollop of sauce for your heart's content. The andalouse sauce really hit the spot -- it's a Belgian speciality -- like, a creamy tomato-paste sauce with a kick. Reminds me of thousand island but more tangy -- somewhere between a thousand island and chipotle sauce.

If you're looking for great frites, in a town filled with lots of good options, this is a place you definitely want to stop at! :)

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"
