FAQ – All about Fries in Amsterdam
Is it friet or patat?
Both! In the Netherlands, friet and patat mean the same thing: fries. Which word you use depends on where you're from. People in the south (like Brabant or Limburg) say friet, while in the north and west (including Amsterdam), you’ll hear patat more often. Either way, you’re in for a crispy, golden treat.
Where can I get the best fries in Amsterdam?
Pont Neuf, Friet van Oost, and Vleminckx are top-rated. But you’ll find tasty, crispy fries all over the city — including hidden gems like Snackbar Marja and Zwagers.
What makes the perfect Dutch fry?
Fresh-cut potatoes, double or triple-fried, crispy outside, soft inside, and served hot with bold sauces.
Are these fry shops spread out around the city?
Yes! These nine spots cover Noord, Oost, De Pijp, Centrum, IJburg, and West — so no matter where you go, a good fry is never far.
Are these snack bars vegetarian-friendly?
Most offer vegetarian options and sauces. Ask if the fries are cooked separately from meat snacks.
CASA Bingo Tip:
Try them all — or just start with the one close to Hotel Casa (we recommend Friet van Oost, just a 5-minute bike ride). Whether you’re a mayo purist or a sauce adventurer, Amsterdam has the fries fix for you.
