U bent veertien dagen op reis geweest naar den vreemde. U landt op Zaventem, neemt de trein naar Gent-Sint-Pieters en u stapt de koude Belgische lucht weer in. Wat is het eerste dat u doet? …
Beste,
Willen in contact komen voor het maken van een afspraak voor het bespreken van het eventueel leveren van diepvriesproducten ( bijv: hollands snacks ). Wij zijn een diepvriesleverancier uit Veenendaal. Hebben ons bestaan te danken aan het m.n. leveren aan consumenten. Steeds meer krijgen wij het verzoek om snacks naar het buitenland te sturen. Zodoende zijn wij opzoek naar partners om elkaar te versterken en te ontzorgen.
U hoeft geen investering te doen, of voorraden op te nemen. Wij kunnen eventueel verzenden en laten via uw webwinkel lopen.
Vernemen graag een reactie van u om te kijken waar samenwerking mogelijk is.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Nick dinkelaar

I have never been there, but from what I see it is not a belgian frietkot. Poutine is something Canadian or French Canadian. Belgian fries are not served with gravy and cheese curds. Samurai, andalouse, cocktail sauses are served with them. Get it straight. I am not impressed.
I had the Divine Poutine which I ordered to go. I have had it a number of times before. Previously it was always good. When I opened my order I could see right away that the pulled pork on top was filled with chunks of pork fat. It tasted awful and there was less on the fries then previously. I won’t be going back which is too bad because the service has always been great and the food was consistently good before.
Dined ther 2 days ago and what a great disappointment!! Never again. I could have had poutine at Costco for less money. The fries tasted like the were from a package. We went out of our way to try this place and I honestly say it was nothing to brag about.
Don’t order the smoked meat wrap!
I was going to send this to the owner of Belgian Fries but I could not find a web site for them so here it is:
What a disappointing lunch we had! I ordered at the counter, as required, a smoked meat wrap, coleslaw, pickle and a medium fries. Total was $11.64 plus tip. After a fifteen minute wait the fires were mostly half cooked. The wrap was a hard tortilla that had a little bit of smoked meat and fried onions inside with a little cheese on top. It was cut into six greasy pieces. The fries were returned and received a sincere apology from the cook behind the counter. The newly delivered cone of fries was at least well cooked but not great. While dealing with the fries and the greasy wrap I forgot that I had ordered a side of coleslaw and a pickle. Too late to bother so we ate and left. In trying to find their web site I came across many reviews, some good but mostly trending bad. Maybe it is time for a wakeup call to the owner! The Dunn’s smoked meat restaurant franchise is coming to downtown Vancouver soon and given their numerous Montreal locations they should have many stores here too. Five Guys Burgers and Fries is also opening many stores here. The food and fries there are very good. We will not bother to go back the Belgian Fries. There are too many other options for good food out there.
Tried Belgian Fries on Sunday – wow! Wonderful hamburgers and great Poutine!
Is this place owned by Belgians? Greetz
Um…, I’ve lived across the street from them since Day 1, and the same guy who opened the place still runs it today (Comments of the typically ignorant vancoverites listed above not withstanding. Boy, there is a HUGE amount of bigotry in Vancouver, especially directed against Asians and South Asians).
Anyway, they serve as good a Poutine as you will ever find outside of Quebec (and better than many in La Belle Provance), and if you have a death-wish, try the deep-fried Mars Bar… a way better way to go than jumping off a bridge.
The food is as tasty and unhealthy as it ever was, though the service is a little less friendly since the place expanded.
what are you talking about, ‘asian’ owners? they just renovated. the owners are the same. you’re a racist fool.
Just called them they’re open everyday 11-10.
What are the hours does anybody know?
my friend went by there yesterday and they were closed down!! Are they gone forever, just expanding, moving to a new location, what??
It seems the place has changed hands a few times in recent years. Now that the Asian owners have taken over the portions went down and the prices went up. Still not as good as a few yearas agi but that will happen when you have different cultures selling “western” cuisine I suppose.
At least they have Interac now thank god!

I have had fries here several times and believe me they are as good as in Belgium. When I miss the Belgian fries, I just go here and I am in heaven again. I recommend this place to anyone.
