Frites Atelier | Antwerpen

I tried Frites Atelier in Antwerp two days in a row, and I can confidently say it was absolutely delicious! The croquettes, cheese balls, and especially the fries are on another level – perfectly crispy and flavorful. The sauces are incredible too, adding the perfect touch to every bite. The staff? Super friendly and attentive, which really adds to the experience. The only downside is that the place is quite small, so you might have to wait a bit longer, and finding a spot to eat inside can be tricky. But honestly, with food this good, it’s worth it. All in all, an amazing experience! If you’re in Antwerp, this is a must-try. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Very nice staff. Really good food, with quality ingredients. I'll definitely be back. The stools could be more comfortable, though.

we tried the fries and shrimp, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The wait was long, and the oil used felt low-quality. While the interior design itself looks great, the overall quality doesn’t match the ambiance. It’s also quite hard to find a place to sit. Sadly, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Very tasty fries, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with a great sauce that added chili for a unique texture

amazing food with reasonable price. the portion is way bigger than I expected. I could skip dinner with this lunch. Service is good as well. I like it generally and will definitely recommend all of my friends who have a chance to visit Antwerp

Delicious frites. Really enjoyed the ones topped with Indonesian peanut satay sauce. Great value for a meal in Antwerp. I ordered them as a snack around 5pm and didn’t need to eat dinner later. The staff are very friendly too. I’m interested to return to try the fries topped with Flemish beef stew.

The best fries I have ever had in all over the world! It’s crispy outside and soft fluffy inside. It is said that chef Sergio Herman develops new flavors and exclusive Frites Specials in his private kitchen in Antwerp. So this is a special location, and if you are in Antwerp, you should try it.

Fries are amazing. Homemade sauce and cooked perfectly, not too much salt also. Try the truffle and basil sauces ! No toilet inside btw, and very crowded so I had to wait around 15min, but worth it

I would fly to Belgium for a day just to eat these fries!! So delicious with the various sauces, but my favorite one was the basil. I visited the Antwerp location during my trip to Amsterdam. Absolutely delicious fries!!!

I stopped by Frites Atelier in Antwerp for lunch recently and tried their Flemish Beef Stew. There were nice chunks of beef, the flemish stew was flavourful, aromatic, and thick/hearty. It reminded me of poutine to some extent but much more hearty. The biggest downside is the price as I heard from others there are other great flemish beef stew places a bit further out, so I'd give it 8.3/10

In A Nutshell: -Frites Atelier in Antwerp is a good place to grab some fries. -The shop is small, but it's very nicely decorated inside & outside. -There is limited seating, so plan to get there early to grab a table or you'll end up having to take your food out to-go. -I enjoyed the chunky fries w/ the Flemish Beef Stew, which consisted of stewed beef, mustard seeds & garden cress. -I also ordered a Cod Fish Burger that came w/ tarter sauce & pickles. -Both items hit the spot on a cold, wet day. Overall, if you are shopping or exploring in the area, this is a nice place to stop by to fill up on some delicious Belgian fries.

Just as yummy as I remember from our last visit to The Hague.......when the Mr & I saw there was a location here in Antwerp, we made a beeline the first afternoon here & have been back every day since Fries are made fresh to order for everyone so they are super crispy on the outside & soft on the inside & piping hot! Love, love, love their Truffle Mayo & they have other sauces available like Bearnaise, Jalapeño & Classic They have fries with sauce (our go-to) but they also offer options with bbq, kimchee, cheese & jalapeño, parm & tomato.....the list goes on These fries are as good as it gets!

We were in Antwerp for the evening and wanted (needed) an authentic place to have dinner, late on a Saturday night. Not too many places were open or appealing but Yelp led me to this restaurant. I didn't realize it is an Amsterdam brand. We were actually day-tripping from Amsterdam! There is very limited seating inside. We were a group of eight so we had to wait for a group to leave. We cleaned the table ourselves. The bathroom is up the steep stairs in the back. I ordered too much. I tried the Frites in Japan. I was intrigued. It smelled fishy but I thought it was interesting and was glad I tried it. I also tried the Zeeland Shrimp Croquette. The menu doesn't have a description but the cashier was helpful in describing each menu item I asked about. I wanted beer and asked what was on tap. They also have a bottle selection. I chose the Tripel because Belgium and the photo shows what it looked like when it settled before I took the first sip.

Amaaaaazing fries!! Gluten free! Extra crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Parmesan fries were sublime!

Average-tasting high-end fries, mostly just for the 'gram. I didn't think there's such a thing as a boutique for fries, but damn, it is fancy. Partly because it is Michelin-star chef Sergio Herman's frites shop chain, which I didn't find out until later on. I had one of their Seasonal Specials with truffle mayo, Mimoulette cheese, roasted Piemonte hazelnuts, and greens. Sounds like a mouth-watering combo, doesn't it? If I wasn't already half-full from the waffles I'd just had a few doors down, I think I would enjoy this more as an afternoon snack. But I had a train to catch afterwards and underestimated how heavy this was, so this became my pre-brunch snack, and boy, did it not go well. The couldn't taste much of the truffle mayo flavoring and I wasn't exactly a fan of the hazelnuts sprinkled all over. The fries were overcooked but I think I was just overwhelmed by how heavy it was that I quickly stopped enjoying it. €6.50 for their special menu fries, plus an additional €0.50 for each sauce you want. They're, by far, the most expensive fries I've paid for in Belgium. Then again, it is a Sergio Herman establishment. The cool thing is that they have an abundance of sauces you can choose from and pour yourself. Nice to splurge on frites if you want to experience something different, but too fancy for my liking.

This place combines all of my favorite things and I am a huge fan. The concept is simple - frites with anything you like. Want to keep it simple, they have that. Want to top them with meat and cheese they have that too. Even better? They have a wall of sauces that you can enjoy for dipping. I kept it simple. I ordered them plain and then tried all the sauces. I really enjoyed the garlic aioli! Add a nice glass of wine and you have yourself the perfect afternoon snack. Go here. Thank me later!

Definitely the best fries I had in Belgium. I also had the shrimp and beef croquettes and they were absolutely delicious. Marta, who took my order, was very helpful and friendly. 10/10!

The fries here are truly different than anything I've had in the US. They have just the right amount of crunch and the interior still tastes like an actual potato. The mayonnaise options are all tasty because they are very much full fat. A single serving is a BIG meal for a single person and could easily be a snack for 4. Ordering is from a stand and they then call your number out. My wait was 3-5 minutes during a busy period. There are some tables, but I found it easier to stroll a little down the road and find a bench. There is a free WC upstairs for customers.

I was underwhelmed. We wanted a great Belgian "frites" experience, went out of our way, waited in a LONG line, but maybe our expectations were too high. The fries were not BAD, just pretty basic, not really anything special.

Good fries and a very cool place to get them. We got the basic one with 2 different sauces, try spicy one was a bomb! The portion is decent and gets you full, we even had to take some with us for later. The place is usually crowded but you always find 1-2 spots on the standing tables outside.

Ordered the classic beef stem on a Saturday morning. The fries is a bit over fried to me though the sauce of the beef and taste of fresh black been sprouts are perfect balance of the savory. Worth to try. People are coming for the fame of the chef.. not sure there are regular customer.

If this were abroad, foodies/insta-queens/fashionistas/Yelpers would all flock here: this is a branch of the fast food style chain of Michelin star chef Sergio Herman. Let me explain to you why: * Foodies: because they want to taste Belgium's pride: fries prepared by a Michelin chef. I must agree, the fries with Belgian stew were not bad at all, pretty tasty actually BUT 8.25 euro worth? Sorry not at all. Also some of the other specialities were pretty disappointing and gimmicky. *Insta-queen's: because the place is thoughtfully designed. I must agree, the place looks amazing, especially comparing them to a regular "frituur". BUT it is also tiny: four small tables, so most people have to eat outside and I think that style should not go before convenience. * Fashionistas: because it is apparently "the" place to be. I must agree, loads of dressed up peeps BUT however you turn it, you're still eating fries out of a carton box: Chanel or no-Chanel! * Yelpers: because we want to eat everywhere :-) I must agree... I went there too! Is it bad? Nope. But is it worth it? I wouldn't return and I think there are better fries to be found in Antwerp, sorry!

Go here! 1) fries are double fried, which creates the very crunchy outside and soft inside. They are fried the second time to order, it does take a little bit, but the wait is extremely worth it. Fries are delicious! 2) tons of options for dipping sauces, very difficult to make the decision of which one to buy. I don't think it matters which one you get, they all were delicious. 3) not crowded, which was nice. We went to all the very popular fries shops and we were not as impressed. Again, go here

The first time we went here, we were pleasantly surprised! The mixture of spices and sauces together with the fries was marvellous! Sadly it got less and less each time we went! It's still delicious but the portions are getting smaller while the price stays the same or even goes up! The fries itself aren't that pricy but the extras... definitely give this place a shot when in Antwerp but I do prefer an authentic fries shop!

I get it. Elevated street food can often times come off as pretentious and not worth the value. First let's discuss the basics. If your haven't had fries in Belgium yet, I'm taking, proper Belgian double fried fries, don't eat here for your first fries experience. I think to really appreciate these fries you need to have had the OG Belgian frites. Is it worth the value? Well, it is 7€+ for fries with toppings. The amount of fries is no where near the amount you'd get from a local fry spot for 3€, or even less. So if you're expecting a heap of fries, this isn't the place. When it comes to the actual fry, I think these fries are up there with the best Belgian fries I've had. They're that crunchy outside, soft inside that makes Belgian fries great. I went with the Old Mimolette & Truffle. That's a grated Mimolette cheese with truffle mayonnaise, cabbage and hazelnuts. The wife got the Frites in Japan--miso mayonnaise, yuzu, mizuna salad bonito flakes and grated lemon and horseradish. Over the top? Probably. Tasty? Utterly. The truffle mayonnaise was easily the best sauce I've ever dipped a fried potato in. Everything about both these orders of fries was amazing. However, I don't think that if I had tried these fries first, as opposed to just your typical friterie, I would have got the hype and might have been a bit confused. These aren't for everyone. Yes, they do serve just "normal" fries and mayonnaise, but really the draw here is the toppings. The wife and I cannot wait to go back.

To all tourists: stay away. This crap doesn't even taste or look like (Belgian) French fries. You get a few way too overpriced potato-ish fries or whatever you want to call it, with some undefined other stuff after you've waited until you almost dropped dead due to the waiting lines. Everyone comes here, yes. To try it out. And 99 pct of the people I know said: "tried it, never again". The name of a Dutch Michelin starred chef does clearly not mean he can come close to what (Belgian) French fries should look and taste like.

Recommended by our city walking tour guide. Frites came with a selection of different sauces, such harissa. The fries were fine, but disappointing. Expected them to be crisper and more interesting. Just a bunch of fries with sauce for about $5. Don't get what all the excitement is about.

I know Belgium is famous for their fries, and I've had some exceptional ones in my time here. This place was recommended to me by a colleague with the caveat that they're slightly expensive and very crowded. When I first got there, I didn't know what he was referring to when he said crowded. The tables inside were full, but the ones outside were empty and there was only one couple in front of me. I ordered the Fries with Flemish Stew, and for 8 euro, I didn't think this was bad. You're getting a full meal, and a pretty hearty and fancy one at that. I know that seems contradictory, but it was fancy as far as fries go and the portion was very generous. I was lucky enough to grab a table inside and by the time my order came up the place was packed! There was no where to sit, inside or outside, the line was out the door and down the street. It was so packed that people were dropping their fancy mayonnaises, so be cautious! The fries by themselves were amazing, well cooked, well seasoned. Throw the stew on top and you have a gourmet meal. Hopefully I'll be back to Antwerp soon so I can try another of their creations!

You should come here while in Antwerp, but plan your visit carefully. If you had too much quadrupel - probably Fritkot Max is your best friend. If you had too many luikse wafels - probably not eating for a while is your best option. This is really a place to appreciate delicious fries, crispy but at the same time light (as it turns out, it is possible to serve fries which do not drown in grease). Try one of the toppings and you have a full meal. If you think about it that way, this place really isn't expensive, and you don't end with a stomachache like after regular frituur. It seems really random when the place is crowded and when empty, but people don't exactly spend here hours contemplating their meal, so don't let the line discourage you.
