Bruges Fries Museum Ticket
Located in the heart of the historic centre of Bruges, the Frietmuseum presents the history of French fries, one of Belgium's best-known products. Your ticket includes an audio guide, providing insights into how potatoes were imported to Europe from America during the 15th century.
The potato gained significance in Europe during the 18th century, particularly through the efforts of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, who advocated for the potato as a food alternative. The museum details essential anecdotes and facts about the potato's impact on diets.
As you explore the Saaihalle, a 14th-century house housing the Frietmuseum, you will learn about the origins of frying potatoes and discover various recipes to try at home. The museum also reveals the secret to making good Belgian-style fries. A visit to the museum's cafeteria is essential to enjoy an authentic cone of Belgian fries!
