- 4sq SUs BelgiumNovember 29, 2016Located in the Saaihalle, one of the oldest buildings in Bruges (1399), the world's only museum dedicated to history of potatoes and Belgian fries (yes, Belgian, not French, as we invented them!).
- HansJuly 9, 2013Interesting museum that tells the culinary history of potatoes in Europe leading to the ultimate 'frietje met mayonaise'. You'll probably get hungry; luckily there's a "frietkot" in the basement.
- Michael BarakatOctober 11, 2021It’s definitely necessary to check this place. Full of important information, it’s well represented and you’ll learn many stuff about potatoes and fries. There are a couple of interactive sections
- Jean-Pierre de KeersmaekerAugust 27, 2014Stupid to think a museum is a frietkot, it is more. Gives a good historical overview of the patato and the 'friet' wrongly calles French Fries. Some nice artefact from Peru and Interesting with kids
- Cin DyMarch 10, 2019Museum is surprisingly interesting with the history of the (fried) potato. The restaurant below is not nice though. Better eat fries at the Markt from the typical booth
- Rita S.September 17, 2011Really interesting Museum. Cheaper if you purchase a ticket including both Friet and chocolate Museum.
- Emre DinçerAugust 10, 2016I don't see anything interesting at this place unless you are really into potatoes. Also the fries served at this place are not as delicious as they advertise. You can skip imho.
- Richard CarterJune 23, 2013Good for a laugh. Save 2€ if you buy the combo ticket for the ChocoStory museum too!
- Bram BurghgraveAugust 3, 2013It can get pretty boring when you visit the choco-museum first. It smells like fries in the entire museum.
- Elaf AJune 28, 2018I don’t recommend going there, nothing interesting, you can watch the movie they show on YouTube!!
- Haroen ViaeneAugust 9, 2014This really is the thing to avoid when you're in Bruges. You won't learn new stuff and it's way too overpriced. Go to a frietkot instead.
- Jantien CocquytApril 12, 2014Het museum zelf is doodsaai, het is eigenlijk gewoon wachten op de frituur op het einde vd rit. En als je daar toekomt blijken ze niet eens bitterballen te hebben. Diene voor mij had de laatste #FML
- Lou De BuyserJune 25, 2012Museum ok voor toeristen maar er zijn veel leukere dingen in Brugge. De friet is veel beter op andere plaatsen.
