Bruges Fries Museum Ticket

Located in the heart of the historic centre of Bruges, the Frietmuseum focuses on the history of French fries, a notable Belgian product. Your ticket includes an audio guide, providing insights into how potatoes were first imported to Europe from America following the 15th-century discovery of the New World. It wasn't until the 18th century that the potato emerged as a significant food option, championed by Antoine-Augustin Parmentier.

In the museum, visitors will uncover essential anecdotes and facts regarding potatoes and their impact on diets globally. The 14th-century Saaihalle houses the museum, where you will learn about the origins of frying potatoes and discover various recipes for preparing potatoes at home.

The museum also reveals the secret behind good Belgian-style fries. A visit to the museum cafeteria to enjoy a cone of authentic Belgian fries is recommended.
