Pipping hot sauce poured over burnt-to-a-crisp-yet-cold fries, with whatever needless topping you'd like (I went Frite Alors, with bacon, mushrooms, onions, and red peppers). Add a drink and a tip for table service, and you're looking at $14 a person.For what, exactly?

Good fries, good beer, popular with the locals.  This location is close to all the action on Rue Saint Denis.  Lack of air-conditioning combined with hot deep-fryers can make it a bit warm in here in the summer.  Expect to be served by heavily tattooed hipsters.

French Fries, the closest thing to what is available on every street corner in Belgium.
