Manneken Pis claim to have the "Best Fries in the Netherlands", this is one of their new locations located on Nieuwendijk in Amsterdam, it is actually located around a five-minute walk away from their famous original location on Damrak, while the menu and concept both remain the same.
I had a great experience here, I was served pretty much straight away, while at their other location there always seems to be a HUGE queue, despite just being 400 meters away, I'm not sure if that's because the staff here just get things done on a more time efficient scale, or perhaps not many people know about this place, as it isn't on the main stretch.
The service here is very good, they spoke good English and were able to provide allergen information, and told me the few sauces that I would not be able to have, due to being gluten-free, in the end, I decided to opt for the Manneken Pis sauce, after recommendation by the staff member, he told me it was one of their most popular sauces, which is of course named after the establishment serving it!
I was really impressed with the quality of my fries, they were hot and the perfect combination of fluffy and crispy, and the Manneken Pis sauce which is a combination of paprika, mayonnaise and a couple of other things, was also great, everything was well seasoned and tasted awesome, just the thought of those fries makes me want to hop on the next flight to Schipol.
I was also impressed with the portion size, which was very generous for a Medium.
Sauces are charged extra for the fries, which gives you the option to have a portion of fries without the sauce, while the fries are awesome with or without, for an extra €1.25 you'd be bonkers to decide against a fresh sauce to go with the fresh fries.
I can't fault the quality, the service (both speed and friendliness) and allergy awareness, I'd even go as far to say Manneken Pis on Nieuwendijk is better than their other locations in Amsterdam! 5* read more
