Maison Antoine
A famous fry stand on Place Jourdan opened in 1948, serving double-fried fries with over ten choices of sauces, which can be taken to neighboring bars.
Founded in 1948 by Antoine Desmet and his wife, this family-run fry stand is located on Place Jourdan in Etterbeek, within the EU Quarter. It is famous for its traditional double-fried fries, offering over ten types of sauces, as well as burgers and mitraillette sandwiches. Designated bars on the square welcome customers to bring their fries in, provided they order a beer. Lines can be long during peak hours, so visiting in the mid-afternoon is recommended. Reviews are polarized: some praise its authenticity, while others find the value average and the service brusque. Fries start at around €3.50, with sauces charged extra.
