Frites Bruges in Asakusa is one of the few places in Tokyo serving Belgian fries. Unlike the ordinary fast food french fries, the potatoes here are cut into thick strips and deep-fried twice to achieve that signature crispy outer layer. The types of potatoes used are selected by the owner depending on the season, and sourced directly from local farms.
There are three sizes ranging from ¥540 to ¥890, and you can add the restaurant’s house mayo dip for ¥50, which comes in flavours like aioli, honey mustard, basil, garlic mentaiko as well as shichimi. There’s also premium dips like black truffle and mushroom, and sour cream onion for ¥190, and even more luxurious options like raclette cheese and Echire whipped butter (only on weekends) for ¥250. While take-out is the norm, we recommend you sit down and order a glass of Belgian beer to go with the perfect fries.
