An immersive and interactive space covering 900 m² entirely dedicated to the world of Belgian fries and their star ingredient: the potato.
Frietmuseum Brussels is a fun, educational, and gourmet museum that offers a journey through the history, culture, and traditions of this iconic Belgian dish. Through more than 1,600 collection items, vintage posters, interactive games, films, and testimonials from fry cooks, you will discover not only the history of the potato, but also the evolution of French fries over time, as well as the secrets to cooking them to perfection.
Spanning three floors, the audio-guided tour (available in 11 languages) begins in Peru, the birthplace of the potato, before taking you on a world tour retracing the history of its cultivation in South America and Europe.
Halfway through, head to Frietland, an area entirely dedicated to Belgian fries. Here, traditions, folklore, and juicy anecdotes reveal the art of Belgian fries. The tour concludes with a tasting of authentic Belgian fries, cooked to perfection. In exchange for your audio guide, you will receive a cone of fries cooked either in typical Belgian beef fat or vegetable oil.
Visitors can immortalize their visit by taking a photo in a chip shop, harvesting potatoes on a tractor, or next to XXL specialties.
Whether you're a foodie, history buff, or simply a fan of good vouchers, the Frietmuseum in Brussels is a must-see destination. It celebrates a symbol of Belgian culture and reminds us that behind every crispy fry lies a fascinating story!
