Famous for

Potato Dish, Belgium

Pommes frites

Recommended by Anthony Rahayel and 10 other food critics.
"I think what makes these fries special is that they’re fried twice, exactly like they’re done at home here in Lebanon."

Sandwich, Brussels

Mitraillette

Recommended by Big 7 Travel and 5 other food critics.
"This is also one of the places to get the best frites in Brussels, but their Mitraillette is what has people queuing down the street. They absolutely load it with fries and that wonderful spicy tangy sauce. Find yourself a nice place to sit outside and enjoy watch the people of Brussels go about their day as you eat one of the world’s best sandwiches."

"Alternatively, tuck into a mitraillette, half a baguette crammed with steak, salad and piled high with chips from Fritland. A great way to tapisser l’estomac (carpet the stomach) before enjoying those famous Belgian beers!"
"Fritland can have a massive queue, but I think it’s worth it for the masterpiece that is the mitraillette. I wasn’t sure what I would think of this random sandwich, but I loved it! It’s definitely one to share with friends because of the size; it’s a baguette stuffed with burger, lettuce, onion and fries, with your choice of sauce on top (again I’d choose samurai), and it’s deliciously messy!"
"As the staff chat amongst themselves in Albanian, they serve up some of the crispest chips in central Brussels."
"The best ones I had were on Fritland, in Brussels. They seem to have fries in every way you can possibly imagine (including fries sandwiches!)."
"The frites were exemplary—crisp and lightly salted, and dark, just the way I like them ("bien cuit [well-done]!")."
"5 Places in Brussels for the Best Belgian Fries: Fritland - Fritland is close to the Grand'Place of Brussels, perfect for eating Belgian fries on the go with their famous sauce. This is a good price / quality ratio if you are hungry."
"We went for the Mitraillette which is a baguette filled with fries, salad, and meat with a side order of fries (carbs on carbs anyone?) with lashing of mayonnaise. So good. I could write a paragraph about how light and crunchy and perfectly seasoned those fries were but I wouldn’t do it justice so just go and eat fries with all of the other tourists because they are damn good."
"Try a mitraillette, Fritland has the best ones in town."
