Bruges Fries Museum Ticket

Located in the historic centre of Bruges, the Frietmuseum focuses on the history of French fries, one of Belgium's notable products. The ticket includes an audio guide that provides insights into the introduction of potatoes to Europe from America.

It wasn't until the 18th century that potatoes gained significance in Europe, largely due to Antoine-Augustin Parmentier advocating for them as a food alternative. The museum features anecdotes and facts about the potato and its impact on diets worldwide.

Visitors will tour the Saaihalle, a 14th-century building housing the museum, and learn about the origins of frying potatoes, along with various recipes for preparing potatoes at home.

Discover the secret to good Belgian-style fries during your visit. The experience concludes with an opportunity to taste a cone of authentic Belgian fries from the museum cafeteria.

Opening Times

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