Are those the small, open places like kiosks? Indeed, they're hard to beat: best fries I've ever experienced. Wish I could make 'em like that at home!

I generally visit Mannekin Pis if I'm in need of a quick snack between In De Wildeman and the Walletjes. Always the same order too, small one, no sauce. Staff are generally chatty unless they are rushed off their feet. Football being the usual subject of choice.

This news only confirms for me what I already knew.

I always buy my fries there and every time I have I've thought, these are the best chips I've ever tasted.

I thought it was the weed!

I have had fries there too. They claim their secret is frying them twice, in 2 different types of oil.

Had the fries with Andalouse sauce and chopped raw onion from Manneken Pis. Fantastic. Best fries I've ever had, too. And that includes fries in Belgium. What other sauces do people recommend from MP ?

I agree! In recent years I've occasionally strayed from the traditional mayo to the curry sauce. It's all good

low carb chips, nice one. Only thing low carb about Dutch (or Belgian) chips is the frietsaus? which is ALL FAT. That little noise you hear while you're eating is your arteries screaming NNNNOOOOO.

This post ROCKS, 3XTW.

Although I've not been to Manneken Pis yet, I'm about to change my wicked ways. With the rest already out of the way, I'm surely ready now for the BEST.

Cheers for the food-related 411 :)

I like the joint across from the Krasnapolsy, its on the same side of the street as the Argentina steak house, I think its called "chicken and fries".They use fresh potatoes and cook them as you order, I always burn one, then get a big order of fries with half ketchup and half mayo!

Always thought that the Morrocans across from the It were outstanding as was the Belgian stand (only open some of the time) on Vootboogstraat. Regards. Roland
