Master Frites, located on Chaussée de Louvain in Schaerbeek, has just regained its title as the best fry shop in Brussels. Renowned for its artisanal approach, the establishment bases its success on the daily preparation of fresh fries, cut on-site just before frying. This recognition confirms the consistency of the business, which is already well-known among fans of the capital’s casual dining scene.
Le Brusselaire, a must-try specialty
While fries remain the star attraction, the restaurant’s menu also features a selection of burgers that contribute to its strong reputation. Among the options on the menu, the burger called “Le Brusselaire” stands out as an unmissable signature dish of the restaurant. Topped with carefully selected ingredients, it is considered by many regulars to be one of the best in the region, putting a modern spin on traditional Belgian snack fare.
Here, the star ingredient is treated with devotion: the potatoes are fresh, carefully peeled, and cut on-site. This top-quality ingredient is then subjected to a perfectly controlled double-frying process—a technique that clearly makes all the difference. The result lives up to its reputation: golden-brown fries with a rare, crispy exterior, while remaining melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. Master Frites doesn’t just serve a Belgian street food classic—it elevates every detail, proving that high standards and meticulous attention to detail ensure excellence in every bite.
A television award record to defend
The reputation of this team, known for its warm hospitality, now extends beyond the city limits. Three years ago, the restaurant had already distinguished itself during its appearance on the show *La Meilleure Friterie*, broadcast on RTL-TVI. At that time, the restaurant earned the title of best Brussels fry shop and ranked second in the overall Belgian rankings.
For this new edition of the competition, the owners aim to secure the top national spot. Customers visiting the restaurant are currently invited to support the team by rating their meal via a QR code available on-site. With its historic roots on Chaussée de Louvain in Schaerbeek and its vibrant presence in Ixelles, Master Frites has now established itself as an essential gourmet destination.
