Another Antwerp classic, Frituur 't Stad, located on the Melkmarkt, is well known to the locals.
Not only due to it's opening hours, from before noon until deep into the night, but just for the ambient atmosphere that can be often found there, located amongst a heap of popular bars.
So during a cold but dry autumn walk, I popped by the place around lunchtime, and subjected it to my taste test!
The venue is clean and spacious, with some great art at the backwall, but also ample seating for eating in. It also has some benches and tables outside on the streetside for that late night snack while catching some fresh air to fight the alcohol cloud forming in your head. Service is friendly, and if you understand Antwerp dialect and humour, some additional layer is added to the experience.
My Order
Not having any real specialty snacks, I went for the regular order when I try these places out. A small fries with spices, fresh made tartare saus and a Berepoot, which is a meatball sliced up and intersected with slices of onion.
The fries where perfectly baked, and the fresh tartare sauce was delicious. However, the berepoot was just a tat to greasy for my liking, and at some frituurs they put a full onion in, this one just had some slices. It was baked to perfection though, so no complaints there.
I paid 8.40 euro for this order, which is, considering the location, not that much at all I must honestly say.
Conclusion
Like Frituur Max in the previous episode, this is another Antwerp icon that lives up to it's name. Prices are fair, the food was more then okay, and the place is definitly NOT a tourist trap. Due to the greasy berepoot, I am giving it a little bit less then Frituur Max, but still a highly rated 7.5 out of 10.
So go enjoy the music in The Muze down the street, and then round out with some excellent fries, and you'll have a nice evening in Antwerp!
