I have never seen so many sauces attached to fries. Belgium is truly a fries paradise! Thanks a lot David for sharing this favorite secret spot of yours! Hope I can go there one day and taste the most delicious Belgian fries! 👍🥰🙏
YES! It truly is an incredible fries paradise. I hope you get to visit there one day too. You'd love it! So flavorful. Hope you have a really great weekend too giannishen!
awesome video, you really went to the best places for fries in Antwerp. also great to see a video in Antwerp for a change. most vloggers keep missing out on this great city. the diamond capital of the world
I commented on one of your videos a few weeks back saying you had to try the snacks that go along with our fries. You liked my comment and now i see you followed my advice! Great! There is another thing you should try in Belgium that goes very well with fries. Its called "Vol Au Vent". its some kind of chicken stew. Must try!
Brand new follower. Surprised I never got recommend this channel. What good reviews in such an amazing and under rated country. Nicely done David sir. I will subscribe sir
An all fries tour!? It's my lucky day!!! So into the sauce bar to customize your experience. And that town square was super quaint and picturesque! The cut on the fry seems similar across the eateries but is super unique to Belgium. LOVED the video 💛
You know it Emily! I love fries, and to be honest Belgian Fries are some of the best. I plan on doing a fries comparison video one of these days. Belgium is very beautiful too. Have a great weekend.
Fries are always my go to snack...my fav vege...potatoes ...lots of wholesome good nutrition...seems the people there eat fries almost daily and with all those sauces...just delicious!!!...The square is awesome...esp the building with the flags...so colorful...nice.,..As always Thanks David and be safe...Peace.
Thank you so much Shabana and Hailey. I really hope the both of you are doing well. Agreed about Fries, they are truly the best. Wishing you a blessed weekend.
OMG you found some awesome places there. I want to visit Antwerp again now and try those famous Belgian fries. As a Dutchman I know so many of these dishes, but the execution here is flawless.
I’m a fan. You make contact with everyone just like this. That’s so addictive to see. You have a gift David. The concept VLOG flew into your room with a big band 😂
yes as a belgian im verry proud of our fries and also beers BUT david you HAVE to try our "broodjes" especially "broodje martino" you will love it. its like a baguette with different spreads, and also a uniquqe belgium thing and yes we are also the best at those not the french ;)
I'm new to your channel, first watching your Jamaica KFC edition then, your Jamaican patty edition (I'm Jamaican, can you guess?😂), so happy to see you visiting, you were in good company too. I always have Jamaican patties in my freezer (I live in Florida), was watching at 2am, after getting off work, I had to restrain myself from going to heat one up, I really enjoyed your video. Great video, wonderful the do the fries in beef fat, that's the healthiest way to do fries, hope I can visit there someday... Thanks for bringing Belgian fries to us.
Welcome to the channel Debbie and thank you so much! Great to see we are Florida neighbors, I'm also from here too. Those fries cooked in beef fat are incredible! Hope you do get a chance to visit. Also thank you for the amazingly kindhearted comment!
Man, I miss my mom's authentic dutch cooking and proper frit with proper fritte saus. I'm glad you are able to experience it all David. Enjoy your stay in Belgium.
@ZombieBlox237 What I'm saying is French fry heaven is already plural, and it would be grammatically incorrect to say "fries" in this sentence. Fry heaven implies that there are loads of French fries there.
One of my best frites experience was in Belgium - a frites truck in a square in Maastricht and a cone of frites with mayo. I’ve yet to find any to beat them!! ❤
Damn didnt knew you came to Antwerp!! Could have shown you so much more bro we have the best streedfood fries like you found out but we have really other great food aswell Nice to see your videos. Grtz from Antwerp
Actually you'll find 2 kinds of meatball dishes : Balletjes met tomatensaus / boulettes à la sauce tomate = meatballs in tomato sauce. Luikse Balletjes / Boulettes Liègoises = meatballs in brown sauce (with apple/pear syrup, a speciality of the Liège province). The meatballs are usually small sized but large meatballs without sauce are also widely available.
I have never seen this "mess" in a Belgian frituur, they must serve it at that place only. Belgian frituren do serve something called a "trog" (pigsty) or similar but the ingredients (fries, meat snacks, sauces) are never mixed up that much. The "mitraillette" (machine gun) is another "made-for-pigs" meal : a loaf of bread filled with fries, meat snacks and sauces.
2 Tourist traps and 1 awfull Frites restaurant. I'm a belgian from Antwerp and I can tell you, there are places in Antwerp that are 10 times better then these tourist trap fries.
@@Luke-pm1rbi feel you'll find better fries in the small towns next to Antwerp. Big cities are often very touristy hence every 'frituur' is also very touristy. If you plan on to visit Belgium and try the fries, just go next to Antwerp. Merksem, Ekeren, Kapellen, Schoten, etc... have nice "frituurtjes" (fry places) :)
I love the joy you share as you make these videos and I don't wanna be a party pooper but as a Belgian I wanted to mention that fries in cities (I've been to 2 of the places you showed) are often low in quality compared to what you would get outside city centers and in the countryside (not to mention the price). The only advantage is indeed that you can easily try the sauces. I'd recommend andalouse sauce from the brand "la william".
Well, the best one he didn't do... The one which is the most famous one in Antwerpen. Even all the Hollywood stars, pop artists eat fries there when they are in town
My experience with Frietkot Max wasn't that pleasant back in 2014. The staff was rude and unfriendly. It took away my appetite that day. A tourist from Suriname.
Man I love small European fast food ish restraunts.. reminds me of chick fil an employees . Normal always positive , happy to take ur order. Here in the states 90%of the employees are fat, lazy , annoyed and hate their lives. When you order they are annoyed with you. If you’re I. The USA , u know exactly who I’m speaking of but better not to say
Frites Atelier is by a Dutch chef who thought he could teach the Belgians how to do fries from a fries shop. Major tourist trap and an insult to Belgian fries culture. Overprized and different just for the sake of it. Horrible take. The other two are ok. 🙂

You cant even imagine how many sauces exist in Belgium , trust me , a lot !
10 sauces is about the average in any Belgian "frietkot".
Great video! Always makes me happy as a Belgian to see you enjoy it here.
Happy to hear that! 🇧🇪 amazing country, going to Holland soon!

Looks like David is in French fry heaven once again.. Belgian fry heaven more precisely!
What are are u saying it’s not fry it’s fries😂💀🙏

@ZombieBlox237 No worries, buddy
Welcome in Belgium David :D
One of my best frites experience was in Belgium - a frites truck in a square in Maastricht and a cone of frites with mayo. I’ve yet to find any to beat them!! ❤
Maastricht is located in The Netherlands!!
But we (the Dutch), as you could tell from the video, know a thing or two about fries too 😉
one the best I've been good humour and friendly people
Those fries look good with the sausage
This sausage is generally known as a "frikandel". There is a version with a crusty batter (which I like better) called "Viandel".
friet met frikandel😋
Damn didnt knew you came to Antwerp!! Could have shown you so much more bro we have the best streedfood fries like you found out but we have really other great food aswell Nice to see your videos. Grtz from Antwerp
I love Belgium
When I think about VanGogh ,
I will think about a kind of sweet food
like the "Potato Eaters" on the canvas ,
I don't know Why .
Those fries 🍟🍟🤤🤤🇧🇪🇧🇪
Looks delicious
Hey, will you be going to Bruges too?
Yes! Coming soon!
Art could be a kind of Food
Food could be a kind of Art
If you go to the french speaking part in Walloon you have less Flemish beef stew but rather Liege meatballs with sauce. Highly recommend that too.
Actually you'll find 2 kinds of meatball dishes :

Great video. I'm surprised you didn't go to Frituur n° 1 in the Hoogstraat. They are legendary here in Antwerp.
I'll check it out next time
They are horrible and overpriced.
@@Davidsbeenhere
Don't its way to expensive and a tourist trap.
Not one local goes there.
I’m feeding myself to lunch today because of you. I just want to be served. I’m still hungry. Lol.😋
Life should be sweet and colorful just like Vincent VanGogh
That's why Sweet food for Sweet Life in this World
"Belgian fries are the best!!! 😋 Btw did you eat all this food the same day? 😅
David, what makes their frites so special besides condiments? What do they cook their frites cooked in? Thanks!
beef fat is the secret! also double frying!
@@Davidsbeenhere and don't forget the fresh cut local patatoo (for most places)
Are you going to the Netherlands next?❤
Yes soon!
hmmm, I hope you give a better head to your friend than the tripel Karmeliet mate!
🍟👍
14:00 I want to try these so bad. They look like the bomb

Guys , you know what , you are the Traveling VanGogh in my mind , seriously
how expensive is frites Atelier?
These are all on touristic locations. The best frituur is Chips in the St. Antoniusstraat. No discussion.
22:39 here in the “Netherlands” ? U mean Belgium 🇧🇪
Nice. But the locals will end their night at Frituur No.1, bij Maria.
Do you know any vegetarian fries not cooked in beef fat
Youippi sauce is to much witch sugar buth Americans love ,i am Belgian but i can not eat ketchup in America...sugar🎉
Ketchup is almost pure sugar here in North America lol

This is the best frituur in Belgium. And it's very very good!
Welcome to tourist traps 101...
Where to next??
Holland

Long time to See you.
Iam happy to whach you
Please trey SOMAALI FOOD IS THA BEST FOOD 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴😍😍😍🫢🫢🫢😊
Hey David, did someone already explained why the whole world says French fries and not Belgian Fries?
what is a curry sauce ?
Mayonaise with curry powder
Indian Spice. Kinds Strong. Very unique flavor
Well, the best one he didn't do... The one which is the most famous one in Antwerpen. Even all the Hollywood stars, pop artists eat fries there when they are in town
My experience with Frietkot Max wasn't that pleasant back in 2014. The staff was rude and unfriendly. It took away my appetite that day. A tourist from Suriname.
That's 10 years ago. Much can change in that time. Though I have noticed the reviews for many places became worse after Covid.
Best chips, in Belgium, will only be found in Brussels. Sorry Flanders 😢
of those 3 one is average and the other 2 are tourist traps.
Saying this as a local from Antwerp.
What do you eat when your own LOL...
Haha, but the frikandel is Dutch😊
fricandelle is a specialty of the historic Netherlands (countries Netherlands-Belgium -Luxembourg-Nord of France)
@@michelwolfs2273 no it isn't. It originated in Dordrecht Netherlands in the 1950's
@@raffieb8186 The Dutch create something. The Belgians make it edible.
What's b fat?
It's beef fat
Man I love small European fast food ish restraunts.. reminds me of chick fil an employees . Normal always positive , happy to take ur order.

you got some cocaine with them fries?
costly, oily, fancy food
curryworst .... it's frikandel !
Both names are used.
Oh poor David. You have visites 2 tourist traps and one subpar frituur. Do some research next time.
Frites Atelier is by a Dutch chef who thought he could teach the Belgians how to do fries from a fries shop. Major tourist trap and an insult to Belgian fries culture. Overprized and different just for the sake of it. Horrible take. The other two are ok. 🙂
