Here you eat the tastiest fries


“Jet, can you find out where the tastiest fries are for sale? Preferably those thin crispy ones.”

“Okay, May, I will do that.”

Even though we will probably reach for the salad bowl faster here at the editorial office, you can count on us making a detour for a bag of fries. I did a round here in Amsterdam and outside the city. Maybe we can run there, saves us a lesson in gym. Just kidding.

Amsterdam

Flemish Friteshuis Vleminckx

For example, in the Voetboogsteeg. Small place, there is always a line. Not without reason. They are not thin, but very crispy. Afterwards, you can dive into the Kalvertoren for a little shopping.

Frites uit Zuyd

Actually, this is a luxury snack bar on the Ceintuurbaan where you can quietly hang out for an evening.

Frietsteeg

In a small side street of Het Spui (in the Heisteeg) is the Frietsteeg. The potatoes are peeled and cut by hand. With love. They also have a location on the Stadionkade, which is nice because then you can dock with a boat and load the bags of fries. And, for the enthusiasts, croquettes from Holtkamp.

Bar Americano

According to May-Britt, the tastiest in the city. Very thin and super crispy.

The Hague

The vegetarian snack bar

A huge hotspot in The Hague. So you are not at the right address if you feel like a veal croquette, but definitely for the fries.

Rotterdam

Las Palmas

I, as a secret admirer of Herman den Blijker, can really look forward to an evening in his restaurant. Lobster makes me even happier. And with fries, of course.

Bram Ladage

This is really a snack bar, so you get fries to go here. The potatoes are super fresh, cut by hand, and sprinkled with sea salt. I like that.

Haarlem

Friethoes

On the Kruisweg. May lives in Haarlem, so she should know. “It's also so nice that sometimes there's still a bit of skin on them, then you know they are fresh and hand-cut.”

Maastricht

Burgerlijk

Ooh, I think you can hardly do a man a bigger favor here. If you are a burger lover, yourself too of course. The best in the city with homemade incredibly delicious fries.

Utrecht

Meneer Smakers

Also here: super hamburgers and fries with skin. Those are actually the tastiest.

Groningen

Friet van Piet

You have to walk a bit if you are in the middle of the city, but it's worth it. The name of this snack bar is not very original, but the fries are divine. You can also see that from the crowd in this snack bar; across the street, where another snack bar is located, practically no one is standing. You can find Friet van Piet on the Meeuwerderweg.
