french fries history of potatoes museums exhibits
4sq SUs Belgium

Located in the Saaihalle, one of the oldest buildings in Bruges (1399), the world's only museum dedicated to history of potatoes and Belgian fries (yes, Belgian, not French, as we invented them!).

CNN

Check out exhibitions exploring the history of the world's most popular food, with lots of opportunities to try some yourself. Read more

Interesting museum that tells the culinary history of potatoes in Europe leading to the ultimate 'frietje met mayonaise '. You'll probably get hungry; luckily there's a "frietkot " in the basement .

Michael Barakat

It’s definitely necessary to check this place. Full of important information, it’s well represented and you’ll learn many stuff about potatoes and fries . There are a couple of interactive sections

Jean-Pierre de Keersmaeker

Stupid to think a museum is a frietkot , it is more. Gives a good historical overview of the patato and the 'friet' wrongly calles French Fries . Some nice artefact from Peru and Interesting with kids

Cin Dy

Museum is surprisingly interesting with the history of the (fried) potato . The restaurant below is not nice though. Better eat fries at the Markt from the typical booth

Rita S.

Really interesting Museum . Cheaper if you purchase a ticket including both Friet and chocolate Museum .

Emre Dinçer

I don't see anything interesting at this place unless you are really into potatoes . Also the fries served at this place are not as delicious as they advertise. You can skip imho.

Richard Carter

Good for a laugh. Save 2€ if you buy the combo ticket for the ChocoStory museum too!

Elysia Benn

Extremely delicious fries , definitely try them!

Emily L

low budget museum -- just has posters on the history of potatoes and fries

Ruth Banbury

Not the most riveting but the frites downstairs are very good

Jos Vollebergh

Great frites in the cellar!

Bram Burghgrave

It can get pretty boring when you visit the choco-museum first. It smells like fries in the entire museum .

Elaf A

I don’t recommend going there, nothing interesting, you can watch the movie they show on YouTube!!

Haroen Viaene

This really is the thing to avoid when you're in Bruges. You won't learn new stuff and it's way too overpriced. Go to a frietkot instead.

Eliza Piy

Boring. It doesn’t worth it’s price

Tov Novoseltsev

Don't waste your time here

disgusting! smells like fries in the entire place!

Ivan Hernandez

Muy ricas las papas . Ojo :O Cobran las salsas :P !!!

Jantien Cocquyt

Het museum zelf is doodsaai, het is eigenlijk gewoon wachten op de frituur op het einde vd rit. En als je daar toekomt blijken ze niet eens bitterballen te hebben. Diene voor mij had de laatste #FML

Lou De Buyser

Museum ok voor toeristen maar er zijn veel leukere dingen in Brugge. De friet is veel beter op andere plaatsen.

Try to avoid the crowd. It is a great place for the whole family, but timing is crucial. There were rooms we could not even enter. Go early and have fun! - Orsolya F.
