Maison Antoine

Not unusual to queue in excess of half an hour at busy periods.

"Maison Antoine" reputed to have the best chips (frites) in Brussels.. I've seen people stand in the line for 45minutes!

Frites are french fries and friteries are the places where they cook them. Frites are a national specialty, and friteries, at least in Brussels, are an endangered species. Real estate is too valuable and too scarce to support a simple friterie. Fortunately, Brussel's best friterie has survived - Maison Antoine.

Frites are twice fried - first blanched at a low temperature and then, when ordered, finish fried to a crisp golden brown, one order at a time. Traditionally they topped with a glob of mayonaise, which works fine, but other sauces are usually available."
