Bruges Fries Museum Ticket

Located in the historic centre of Bruges, the Frietmuseum focuses on the history of French fries, a well-known Belgian product. Your ticket includes an audio guide that provides information on how potatoes were first imported to Europe from America following the New World discovery in the 15th century.

The potato started gaining importance in Europe in the 18th century, thanks in part to Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, who promoted it as an alternative food source. In the museum, you will learn key anecdotes and facts about the potato's impact on diets worldwide.

The museum is housed in the 14th-century Saaihalle, where you will discover the concept of frying potatoes and find several recipes to prepare potatoes at home. You will also uncover the secret to authentic Belgian-style fries and have the opportunity to enjoy a cone of genuine Belgian fries at the museum cafeteria.

Opening Times

The Bruges Frietmuseum is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm, with entrance every 15 minutes.
