Frites Belgium on Tap

This place is so crowded with white collars during happy hours on weekdays, while fully of kids running around on weekends. With a playgound and kids trucks, this place is a paradise for kids. Luckiy it’s better on a Sunday night tonight, where only a few families were having dinner and around 10 kids running around (still tolerable). The food was suprisingly good. The crab starter was interesting, a bit spicy and very refreshing. We have ordered a ribs stew with truffle mashed potato, which was very yummy. The wife’s sausage was good too but we were already stuffed. Satisfying overall.

Frites is a place for Belgium comfort food. It has several outlets in Hong Kong.
We have been to the one in Quarry Bay. The menu is standard for all outlets.
Even the décor and setting is almost the same. The one in Quarry Bay is located in the Oxford house of Tai Koo place. It’s on ground level, next to elevators. Because of the high ceilings the noise level is quite high. Especially on Friday nights after work when everybody’s there for the Happy hour it can get very noisy.
Setting is simple rustic, mainly dark wood.
Staff is efficient and attentive.
They have a full bar with an extensive list of all different kinds of Belgium beers, which is incredible. A few beers are on draught.
Selection of food is adequate concentrating on simple but good quality comfort food.
My favorites include the classic Caesar and the Nicoise salad. Don’t miss out on the fresh European mussels, done in different ways. They are accompanied by awesome French fries. They’re thick, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Try your frites with their excellent mayonnaise. Go for the schnitzel and classic fish and chips if you’re into deep fried food. The schnitzel is tender even it’s pork. The batter is thin and very tasty.
Portions are generous, good for sharing.
Overall good value for money!
