Sitting in front of the shop, with some delicious fries in your hand, while observing people go up and down the prettiest street in Nijmegen, is a feeling you only get to experience here. Also, vegetarian snacks!!

These are hands down the best fries I ever had in the Netherlands! Great taste and the personnel is always super friendly and charming. None of the super fancy fry places around Amsterdam come even close
