Bizarre but worthwhile museum. Takes you from the discovery of the potatoe South America to the French (Belgian) Fry. Worth a visit !

Since fries are a staple of Belgian diet, it's only proper to go to the museum to figure out why. Good way to pass the time and more info about fries than you'd ever care to know. Buy this ticket in combination with the chocolate museum and cost about 11 euro each. Ticket for discounts on fries in basement at... More

For people living outside of Flanders and the Netherlands it is hard to appreciate fries as the locals do. The types of potatos used and the oils all the way to the myriad of suaces and of course mayonaise not ketchup being the most popular topping. If you have time it is a museum that is nice to see but... More

It was a wet day, what more can I say!! The best exhibition was the plastic chip forks , I didn't know there were so many!! We could smell chips frying all the way round the museum so were hopeful of a free sample at the end of the tour, however we were disappointed! You had to pay for the... More

A quirky museum to the history of Belgian (not French) Fries. Probably not to everyone's taste but we found it informative (I never realised quite how many potato varieties there were or how far from the modern potato the earliest varieties grown by the South American Indians were). Of course you have to taste the product in the chip shop... More

More information about this carbohydrate than you would possibly wish to know about, but it's my taste buds that win after the museum, head over to order some friets (fries) along with one of delicious burgers and great local beer with very friendly, fairly quick service. Potatoes are fried in grass-fed beef tallow for flavor, cooked twice to insure a... More

We wouldn’t normally have bothered with this, but it was effectively free with the Bruges city card. You get to see some different, and odd-looking, varieties of potato, a history of the people that first cultivated it. There’s a frieterie in the cellar where you can sample the product, but personally, I'd prefer a proper chip any day. Worth an... More

The museum is interesting if you like potatoes. They also have a food part at the end where you can pay for some chips that they make there. We personally found that their chips that they make were nothing special and not worth trying. After we sampled some at the museum and then after sampling some at restaurants later,we realized...

nothin wow about it but it was cool kind of getting the idea of why their french fries are so good! Should try the french fries in the cafeteria.
