Manneken Frites

During our search for halal Belgian fries in Brussels, we stumbled upon Manneken Frites. Many places use animal fat to cook their fries, so it was a relief to find a spot that advertised all of its food as halal. We only tried the fries, and while they were decent, they were a bit average in taste. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience a positive one. It's a good option for anyone looking for a halal-friendly place near Grand Place to try Belgian fries.

Nice place with a lovely outdoor seating area. I ordered fries they were average and a bit hard. I think there are better options for taste elsewhere.

Looks good but the quality is the worst one. All day I felt uncomfortable stomach

If your ever in Brussels don’t go to this place. Nothing is good about it. Bad service, very slow, bad food.

The Manneken Frites is a very good fast food eatery in a very central location in Brussels. The French fries are excellent (and a middle-sized with sauce is 4euros). And fortunately they don‘t have long waiting times or queues, so service is not only very friendly yet also very quick. Highly recommendable when you fancy a snack. Enjoy!

The place is basic and nice, and the most important thing is that they have great fries.

We had Kapsalon, very fair price for very good location and good quality of food. Right in the city center. A lot of seats on the terras, nice to enjoy food and a view of beautiful street, and a few seats inside. Very good fries, a lot of cheese and meat, tasty sauce

SO many choices for fries in the tourist area of central Brussels, but we stumbled on this place unknowingly a year ago and returned again the next day because it was so perfect. Over the time since, we hungered to return to Europe so we could make a quick trip back to Brussels and we could return here! When we returned just today, it was as awesome as we remembered and it made the detour to cold, rainy Belgium worth it (along with a few liege waffles).

Classic fries near the Manneken Pis! I visited in summer and it was nice to sit out on the bustling street . Service was fast and the fries were delicious. They were extra filling, and my friend and I should have shared a single order instead of getting an order each. As a tourist visiting from Canada, I appreciated the fact the fries were made in beef fat instead of rancid vegetable - you'd be charged an arm and leg in North America for this.

Good food. Great prices! Fast tot the table service! Do it, just do it!!! Friendly staff and easy to order.

I think this place would be better served to keep the frozen food out of sight from the customer. They have a lot of frozen food out in the open in the glass casing. That being said I don't think the potatoes were frozen. They looked fresh and made the right way. In Brussels it would be sacreligious to serve frozen frites. These were crunchy on the outside with a soft interior. They were pretty good but probably not my first choice frites if I went back to Brussels. Seems like this is a late night spot where you don't really care what you are eating you just need food. The bathroom looked like it needed serious work and wasn't clean which is not a good sign. This place needs a little sprucing up and it would be better. Not sure I would come back with the plethora of frite places in town.

It's crap... less quality than fast food! They have no spice, no pepper, no jalapeños, no spice whatsoever!! And they're only answer was... "Oh well!"

Horrible service. I ordered frites with the sauce on the side. They gave me my order with sauce, I told them no sauce, the worker got angry and flipped the frites in a pan with other frites and repacked it again( mind you there are still pieces with sauce on it) and handed it to me. I explained I don't want any sauce, the worker insisted that there is no sauce on it and was annoyed and angry, so I said no thank you that I would like a refund, which he refused me, so I just walked out the store with out the frites and with out my money. This is not an honorable establishment and for a first time visitor who was excited, truly ruined the experience and was rude to me in front of the other customers as well. I also think the workers were racist. Treat the customers with respect. If I could give a 0 I would have.

It way fries-day on a Thursday. We've been hitting up local friteries to find the best fries in Brussels. This week we decided to hit one that wasn't on any of the best of lists. We've eaten at a handful of fries spots downtown but this time we decided to give Manneken Frites a short. We didn't really have high expectations going into this place but when we arrived the line was short and I ordered right away. They only have one size of fruits and it costs €3.70, with a sauce. The wife ordered mayonnaise in I ordered andalouse sauce. It appears that uses William sauces which are actually pretty good. Overall the fries were really good. They weren't over fried and they were right out of the fryer. With Fritland not too far away, I think that manneken frites sometimes gets overlooked, or classified as a tourist spot. but I have to say the phrase that we had at American foods were better than some of the fries we've had at Fritland in the past. They don't however take cards so you must pay with cash. this is one of the only downsides. They also don't have any original sauces, they are all Williams sauces. If that line is too long at Fritland definitely jump over to Manneken Frites and get just as good of a quality fry.

So I've been here twice, the first time was my first time in Belgium, and the second, well, my second time, lol. I went back because I enjoyed the food the first time. i won't say they are the best frites I've eaten, but I will say that they are pretty good, good enough for me to go back. The next time I'm out there, I'll be sure to check other spots for comparison, but This is not a bad choice for a quick bite to eat.

I think that Belgian frites are overrated and this place confirmed my analysis. Oy Belgium! - Stop frickin' charging me so much for ketchup! Added about 20% to the price here to get them smothered in the red stuff.

Great little place. Nice food on offer. As you can see from the pictures. They have a great size menu. The place is very clean, and the cooks are very friendly. Make sure to pop in, as it has seating too:)

This place was fantastic. We were in Brussels only for the day. We asked around where a really good place was to get some frites. One of the locals mentioned Manneken Frites so we tried it and we were not disappointed. The frites were amazing. The Andalouse sauce was incredible. Great place.

This place was okay for a late night snack but these are not the real Belgian frites!!! This place serves regular cut fries out of a bag and says they're legit. I'm telling you they aren't. The rest of their food, burgers and whatnot is very average nothing special and a bit pricy. The place is half outside as well so on a not so nice day you are stuck cramped inside. Something to think about. If you are looking for the best and most authentic Belgian frites, they are located on the corner of a small street in the middle of the square coming down from central station. The place is called Belgian frities. Always a line but worth the wait.

Delicious!! I had my first frites here with sauce Andalouse. Small place, good to make a pit stop too on a day of walking around the city.

Hot, tasty, affordable frites near Grand Place. Crispy outside, fluffy inside with just enough grease to bolster the flavor. Mayonnaise is excellent and they're generous with it. Very busy late at night, especially Thursday through the weekend. Surprised at the quality considering how many drunken tourists they serve.

Mediocre. If you're a tourist you might like this place, but that would mainly indicate you haven't faintest idea of where to look for proper fries.
