There were many places we wanted to try in our culinary adventures in Brussels, and this place made its way to the top of our list. Our intentions were to eat the fries only, but the line was so large, and we were so hungry that we had to pivot and go indoors for lunch instead. However, I will say that we observed that the establishment did send out fries for people waiting in line, which looked like a very good peace offering to the restless patrons. Inside the cafe was also bustling. We were seated quickly at one of the only empty tables left. From our seats, we could see all the wonderful food coming out of the kitchen as they placed it on the bar. The steak and fries looked divine. However, I was looking to try the mussels or seafood after hearing so much about them. So I ordered the Seafood Waterzooi upon recommendation from our waiter. He spoke Spanish which was awesome as my cousin doesn't speak anything else. The buttery sauce lacked a bit of flavor for my liking, but the plate was chock full of different types of seafood, including mussels, calamari, whitefish, shrimp, and salmon. The plate also came with a side of freshly made delicious fries. read more

I had read this was a great place to try the fries. It was disappointing at best for the sandwich and mediocre fries. My chicken sandwich was cold on the inside of the chicken and the fries were not cooked enough. I recommend passing by this place and finding another fry shop. read more

Café Georgette - Chicken burger and fries - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Popular local place to have some fresh fries in a basket. Located in the corner of a busy walking street, there are tables outside to sit and enjoy your fries as soon as you get them. As far as service goes, although a minor language barrier, when in doubt just point at the menu and you're all set. Seating is outdoors and minimal if you're in a big group.. so be prepared to walk and eat if you're just having fries. Otherwise be patient if you want you enjoy the sauces and any additional food. Fries were great, crunchy and a good amount. Enough for 2 unless you're really hungry and want to go all in yourself. Meatballs were well cooked, chicken balls are similar to chicken nuggets in America.. but no sauce. Beef kabob is as described, beef on a stick.. meat was soft and tender and went well with the fries. read more

Wonderful Belgian fries with the full fledged experience- ordered outside, fries made fresh to order, sauces ordered as well(georgette which was an orange savory sauce and tartuffo which had truffle oil- that was great! ). Hubby and I shared an order which was very generous. Definitely try this place! read more

Salmon carpaccio, shrimp croquettes, and fritas were delicious. Waiter (Anas, spelling?), location, and ambience were also fantastic! We will be back. read more

We came in on a rainy Tuesday at 12pm. The waitstaff asked if we were here just for the fries or for plates because if we were here for just the fries we would go next door to their take out area to order. We were hungry and didn't want to get wet so we dined in. 30 minutes later the restaurant was about 90% full. The menu was extensive. They offered salads, burgers, tartare, fish, and various other entrees plus desserts. We must have been so hungry that we ordered the, Welsh Rarebit, and didn't read the description. We thought we ordered a rabbit entree and that it was spelled in Dutch. We also got a side of fries. Welsh rarebit is similar to a croque monsieur. It had a slice of bread underneath topped with ham, cheese and a fried egg and baked. It was good and comforting. The fries were cooked in beef fat and it had a light beefy taste however they were not crispy. We had Belgium fries 3 times on this day and these were our least favorite. We were later disappointed we skipped on the Zeeland mussels, another assumption as they were New Zealand mussels and they were not. Don't be like us, if you are not sure about something on the menu, ask or do a quick google search. read more

Small quaint restaurant for a nice meal! I stopped by after a long day exploring Bruges and Ghent. There was a few parties in there dining late at night. There are many tables and lots of room. The restaurant is not too loud. Service was as quick and very friendly here. The staff frequently checked on me to make sure I was ok! The food was great! I got the mussels and the stew both came with fries! The fries were crispy and light. The stew was.l very hearty and the meat chunks were tender. The mussels were great! Perfect representation of Belgian food! read more

Initially came here to get some pomme frites, but decided to dine-in for dinner....we were glad we did. It wasn't too crowded inside on a Monday night, and heard English being spoken so knew that tourists came here. They must have a large frites carryout business, since the host asked us what we were there for. Once we let him know that we were here for dinner, he directed us to a nice table to the side. We were given the English version of the large menu. We ordered three things, all of which came with fries. The moules frites (25 €) was excellent...a lot of mussels, steamed in a simple, white wine broth...this was a bargain for the price. On the menu it says a full kg of Zeeland mussels...so I mistakenly thought they were frozen New Zealand green mussels on the half-shell...instead it looked like it was blue mussels (the kind called Prince Edward Island Mussels here in the states), but so much bigger. Later I learned that it came from Zeeland (the Western Coast of Netherlands)...so its a local product, of a bigger variety of blue mussels. The broth needs to have the juice that the live mussels given when they are cooked...frozen mussels won't cut it. The cheeseburger (Georgette Burger for 17€) was hearty...the beef patty was hand formed and very tender, sitting on top of a nice homemade bun (almost a english muffin consistency), with very fresh vegetables. Finally, the fish n chips (Sorrel sauce, soy cream for 17€) were good...mainly for the excellent frites, a bit thick on the batter. It came with a nice green salad. The fries were good, double fried and thick, perfect for dipping in the various sauces. Each fry can get it's own dipping sauce, and the host was kind enough to offer a sample of all three. None of them were too 'out there', and were mainly mayonaisse based, with different flavors (including tartar). I liked that the menu clearly explained their expectations...for example, they don't offer free, tap water, but instead suggest getting bottled still. Water is water, but we had no problem ordering it since it was clearly explained. They also offer three different types of belgian beer on tap, and the ones we tried were excellent and relatively inexpensive....come to think of it, it might have been cheaper than the still water. read more

The fries here are incredible! I got a simple chicken sandwich and the highlight was the accompanying fries. My Bf got steak and it was a bit dry for his taste but much better with their house sauce. I would 100% recommend this place. The owner was very kind and welcoming as well! read more

Gestopt voor een puntzak patat met mayonaise. De frieten hadden nog wat schil, vind ik altijd fijn, en waren lekker krokant tot onderop. Dus niet zompig. Mayonaise kwam in een apart bakje, lekker veel. Er zit een restaurant naast waar de patat voor gebakken wordt maar er is dus ook een verkoopbalie aan de straat met wat stoeltjes om het gekochte op te eten. read more

I liked this spot. They had some decent beers on tap. I had the filet. It was cooked to a perfect medium. It was a little on the tough side. I liked the vegetables it came with. I sampled the pork which was alright, a little dry. I did not sampled the steak tartare but I was told it was tasty. Service was alright it was pretty busy. Of course, it would not be a French speaking country if the waiter didn't speak poorly of the "Americans" while speaking to a Belgian table. read more

One of the reasons I went to Brussels was to try the frites. I was so excited to try them I realized I got there before it actually opened. No worries, I did some walking around and at noon, I became their first customer of the day! I quickly ordered some frites with some georgette sauce and bam, they got to work! Loved seeing the piles of cut potatoes and hearing those baddies hit the oil. And within a few minutes I got a huge cone of frites and georgette sauce. This portion size is no joke, it's probably more fitting as a meal or to be shared, but I ended up eating them all myself anyway. In the cold weather, the frites definitely warmed me up. The Georgette sauce was creamy and flavorful, wish I could go back to try more of the sauces too. If you're the area, definitely make a stop for some frites. It's only a few euro and you get so many frites you'll definitely leave full. And on the plus side, it's right next to Delirium so if you're drinking a beer and need some good eats, hit up Georgette's! read more

The best fries I had in Belgium, even better than Fritland which has a much, much longer queue and is primarily a fries place, Cafe Georgette is part sit-down restaurant and part fries take-away. It is very underrated, which might be a good thing for the locals. First, their fries are wrapped in newspaper in an aesthetic manner. They leave the skin on their fries, which makes them the crispiest fries I ever had, but the inside was still soft. Finally, their sauces are simply amazing, and I recommend the Georgette sauce - a creamy but refreshing mayo! read more

We found this at random while wandering through Brussels and it was an excellent choice. Good selection of dishes for anyone with an adventurous side. The proprietor was extremely friendly, and the frites were top notch. read more

We came here because we read that it was one of the best places for frites in Brussels. This absolutely does not disappoint! I had the salade niçoise with frites and my dining companion had moules frites. We also had a couple of spritzes. Everything was fantastic. Sure the service is a little slow, but that's to be expected in most European cities. read more

While in Brussels, we found that pretty much everything closes early. Like by 6 PM... Café Georgette was one of the very few places within walking distance that was open late and it was super close to Delirium Cafe, where we were headed after. They also seemed like the best option out of the bunch. My husband got a beer and pasta dish that came with a small salad which he enjoyed. I wasn't TOO hungry & just got frites (fries) which was actually really good, better than the frites that I had earlier in the day (that was good too though!). I also got the cheesecake because there is always room for dessert no matter what and this did not disappoint. Best cheesecake I've ever had! My husband who is not a big fan of cheesecake agreed with me too. It was a little pricey and the service was quite slow, but having just woken up from our naps, we weren't really in a rush. Overall, this was a great place to stop to fill our bellies before heading over to the bar. read more

Amazing. Stopped in because didn't realize they had a separate counter for their fries to go. But these were really good, you can taste the beef fat they're fried in. Partner ordered a filet mignon and thought it was good. I got the mussels which even the waiter was excited for me which is a good sign. This place was on the list of one of the best fry places and I get it. Wish we tried their homemade sauces too but man the mussels broth was good enough for me (gives me a spoon to enjoy it). read more

I just came here for the fries and truffle sauce. We were at delerium and I asked our awesome bartender where his favorite spot is for fries, since it seems to be one of the must haves in Belgium. He directed us to this place. It was SO good! The fries came out fresh, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The sauce is a separate fee and there were a few to choose from. I chose the tartufo. No regrets, absolutely amazing. I'm going to try to recreate the sauce when I get home, it was that good. Service was great. The gentleman was super nice and the food came out quickly. Very efficient! read more

We were very excited to try frites (fries) in Belgium and wanted to get it from a renowned spot that would live up to the hype. Fritland was one of the popular spots based on reviews and had long lines, a fast food vibe but didn't quite draw me in. This eatery is right next to Delirium, also had a long line and their sauces looked delicious so decided to give it a try the first evening we got to Bruxelles. It's really a restaurant/cafe that offers dine in as well. For their fries, they have a couple sauce options to choose from, we went with the Georgette. The fries were really good and stand on their own but the sauce did add a good kick. Fries were thicker and super crisp on the surface but still soft on the inside. I think they are double fried but didn't feel greasy. Was quite a hit and we finished it all between the two of us while exploring Grand Place since it came conveniently wrapped in a newspaper pouch to enjoy on the streets. read more

Come for the fries! We opted for the quick take away area for some hot out the fryer treats! The joint came recommended by our tour guide. Super happy with the reco. Lots of sauce options too! The curry ketchup was my fav though. read more

Saw the frites shop outside and the tour guides explaining how their fries were the ones to try for the dipping sauces so we decided to try the cafe for dinner. Nothing out of the ordinary from your usual bistro or fast casual spot in America. Just slower service. The waitress took a while to take our order and after bringing our order, did not check in. So when we needed something we had to go ask for it at the bar. The place was pretty empty so it wasn't like she was very busy. Food was good but nothing memorable. We got the chicken dish and the steak. Both came with a sauce of our choice, fries and some greens. Again, nothing stellar. Just a normal dinner meal. At least it wasn't expensive. As for the fries, not sure what the hype is. If you just want an excuse to eat fries go for it but they don't taste any better or worse than fries from any American bar. Go spend your calories on a waffle! read more

I found this place thanks to tips on google for best belgian's fries. It is in the city center, so you will have not problem to find it.

If you're looking for a cosy place with good service in the center of Brussels where you can enjoy a nice lunch or diner with friends with no matter of the group size, Café Georgette is an address you should keep in mind! Food is good and is focused on revisited traditional Belgian cuisine. The french frites are delicious and come from literally next door: a real Belgian frit-kot read more

Cafe Georgette is located very close to the tube (Metro) stop De Brouckère, which is pretty central. I had just arrived at Studio Maurice Bejart, which is next door, after an excellent day at Autoworld. My wife and her friend were doing a Bollywood and Bharat-Natyam dance workshop at the said studio and I felt like getting a capuccino. This is a pretty basic cafe you get in a touristy part of town. The capuccino was ok, not too bad, not exceptional either. I was sat outside people watching and drinking coffee. They also seemed to have a chippy and people were queuing up to buy their chips. If you happen to be around and are looking for a place to get a bevvie and people-watch, this is not a bad place at all. read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Café Georgette. It's a relatively small place with intimate seating in a nice atmosphere right near the center of town. Decent wine/beer selection and delicious frites! We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night and were seated quickly. Service was friendly and accommodating. My husband ordered beef while I had chicken, both served with those delicious frites. The beef was cooked medium rare as requested and had a great flavor. The chicken was moist and tender. The accompanying sauces were delicious. I would highly recommend Georgette if you are looking for a decent meal in the heart of Brussels. I don't think you will be disappointed! read more

Nice little spot for a burger or quick drink. They have seating outside and upstairs for happy hour. Tasty burgers with good toppings and they serve their famous fries with each burger. Really liked the atmosphere and location. read more

Looking for a place to eat in Brussels? This one is quite decent. I've tried the Manneken Pis meatballs and the dish was pretty good. French fries were just awesome and by the time we arrived there wasn't too many people. Very pleasant place and the service was ok. read more

Café Georgette - This is the manneken pis meatballs with fries. You kinda want to try it now. Right? - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I really was impressed with this restaurant after my friend took me here. Everything from the staff, food, and presentation left me pretty happy when left. Their wine selection was impeccable as well. I ordered the Tartare de Thon et ses samosas de légumes (tar tar) and ever bite was as delicious as the first one. If you are making your way to Brussels this is definitely a restaurant you need to stop by! ENJOY! read more

Best fries in Belgium by far! The food was not that good though, I wouldn't recommend sitting down.. but make sure to save room for fries! Go for the Andalouse sauce, it's the best (don't fall for the Georgette one) read more

I stumbled upon Cafe Georgette when my friend and I left a group of friends in search of our own meal because we refused to eat another pub in Brussels. The decor in the restaurant is nice and the upstairs features the lavatories and a smoke room. I ordered the chicken burger, it was a bit messy but the mess was worth it. read more

I'm pretty sure this place is named for Rene Magritte's wife Georgette. We came upon this place after having visited the permanent Magritte exhibit at the art museum earlier that day and I'm at least 97% positive the woman's image on the window is Georgette Magritte. Anyhoo. We only stopped at the walk-up window for the frites and some Georgette sauce. Not exactly the healthiest snack but after a day of tourist-walking, it hit the spot. If you're passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by for some yourself. I wouldn't go out of my way to find this place, but if you're in central Brussels for a few days then I'm sure you'll find yourself passing by it at some point. read more

Taste... is very subjective, so take it for what it's worth. I am not a big fan of soggy fries. I pretty much want all my fried foods to be crispy. "Fish" part of my "Fish and Chips" was also quite soggy as well. read more

We visited Cafe Georgette to have some drinks, we were four and ordered some coffee, hot chocolate, juice, and a salad, that's when the waitress told us that we have to order FOOD or LEAVE!! I told her: "Sorry, but this is a cafe as the name suggests", she said yes the name is "Cafe Georgette" but it's actually a restaurant! Then she asked us again to leave if we just wanted to order drinks. Then they just watched us leaving without providing any kind of apology. This is a terrible place to go, and the staff are extremely unfriendly, just don't go there, and instead pick any of the cafes/restaurants in that area. read more

We came to this Belgian food restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel concierge and I would definitely recommend it to others. Located in the heart of the city center and just a few steps from must-do Delirium Café, this is a charming place to find a great dinner. The beef carbonnade, a traditional belgian beef stew made with beer, is an excellent choice and evidently a local favorite. Surprisingly, the tartar tuna was also really good. They're known for their fries. The servers speak english and the location is perfect for tourists, which there are a lot of in the area but this restaurant in particular didn't feel too touristy. read more

When I came to Brussels I didn't really have an agenda, but one of top things on my list was to get some authentic Belgian frites. I looked around and found a popular place for frites called Cafe Georgette. There was a decent line outside. You basically order outside the front window then go to a doorway at the side of the kitchen to pay and wait for you fries, which were fresh and made to order. Apparently the friterie in front was just one part of Cafe Georgette, and there was a legitimate restaurant as well. I only stopped to get the frites. The large cost only a little bit more than the small so it was just the right economical choice haha. I got a large frites with georgette sauce, which basically was an enormous cone of hot fries just drenched in super creamy mayo. All they gave you was a tiny fork to eat with. The paper holding the fries were slowly soaking up the oil, and it was only a matter of time before you had greezy hands so you had to eat em quick. I sat down at a table in front of the cafe next door and just went to town on those fries. It was actually pretty tasty once you get past the fact that you're eating mayo by the spoonful. The fries were a thicker cut, so they had a slight crispiness on the outside, but the center still had that flakey, potato filling. The sauce on these fries had a mild flavor, and was very creamy but not overwhelmingly rich. In Belgium, sauce is the name of the game. The fries are just a vehicle to eat the sauce. I haven't come across a friterie offered less than 10 different varieties of sauces, which is awesome. Overall, I think this place gave me an accurate taste of authentic frites. read more
