Frituur Bij Filip — Local services in Ghent

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Ghent. The fries here were very crispy and the beef stew sauce was particularly delicious. The curry ketchup was nice, curry flavour was very very mild which allowed the flavour of the potato to shine through. Fries were very cheap, customer service was wonderful and efficient, especially as it was just the owner taking orders and serving. Gets very busy so you might want to go there when you see a break in the crowd. I do personally prefer the texture of the Dutch fries over Belgian fries, however, definitely try both of them yourselves (Dutch fries I believe are cooked in oil, whereas Belgian fries are cooked in animal fat). I couldnt really spot a massive difference in taste. Fries were thinner and not as crunchy as the Dutch fries. Wished there was some seating or at least a couple of stools to stand by and eat, however I guess you could just eat...

I'm pretty sure this place has turned me off fries for the rest of my life because I'll never be able to find fries as good anywhere else!! I heard about it on the internet, and it was a bit tricky to locate the place itself because there's simply no sign whatsoever on it. But there's always a line of people in front of the window :) For the sauce, we decided to stick to the classics: mayo, ketchup and mustard. To be fair, you don't even need any sauce I think the fries are enough on their own. Would definitely come here again next time...

Waited for this to open and it was worth it. Yes, the fries seem basic and frozen maybe. But the flemish stew was great. I didnt really want a big portion at first, so i wanted a small snack to try it, and this was a great, if not the best option. So while no doubt the fries itself arent the best, the meat and flavour of the stew is amazing for that price point. Seriously one of the best worth foods. Had a samurai sauce on the side to try, not that great. So just get the flemish stew on fries. Really good for the price u...
