"It’s almost impossible to visit Brussels without eating an excellent frite, but a real friterie—a bare-bones stall like Friterie Tabora in Centre-Ville, or Brussel’s city center—is required if you want la mitraillette, or “the machine gun.” That’s a foot-long French-fry sandwich, often loaded with a trio of deep-fried spicy burger patties or other sandwich meats and several squeezes of mayo and ketchup.

"Just by the Grand Place, the fries here are authentic compared to other tourist traps nearby. I recommend ordering the mitraillette, which is bread stuffed with a generous portion of these crispy fries and a meat of your choice. A plethora of sauces are available for you to choose from to add even more savour to your fries"
"One of the best Mitraillette I have ever tasted. Plenty of sauces to choose from to add to the hearty baguette that is served with authentic belgian fries and meat of your choice"
