The journey from Potatoes to the popularity of Fries

Heather_O, Jul 2025

Interesting history of frites from potato origins to modern French fry production. Enjoyable and an educational way to spend a rainy morning. The frites for purchase at the end were delicious.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to know the Frietmuseum surprised you and that you had a memorable time with us.

OK, but also a bit average

Gordon_D, Jan 2025

This is a self-guided tour over several floors of a building, with a LOT of reading required. Some of the displays were quite 'child-like' in their presentation, so it will suit all ages, but some of it is a bit 'average'.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your visit. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve and better meet the expectations of our guests. We’re pleased to hear that you found our self-guided tour suitable for all ages and enjoyed the family-friendly aspects of the displays. Our goal is to create an experience that is engaging and accessible for visitors of all ages, while also providing interesting and informative content. That said, we completely understand that the amount of reading involved may not be for everyone, and we appreciate your honesty about this. We’re always looking for ways to make the tour more interactive and dynamic, and your feedback is invaluable in this process. Regarding your comment about some displays feeling "average," we take this to heart. While we aim to balance simplicity for younger visitors with depth for others, we recognize there’s always room for improvement. We’ll definitely take your observations into account as we continue to update and enhance our exhibits. We hope that, despite these points, you still had an enjoyable visit overall. If you have any additional suggestions or would like to share more about your experience, we’d love to hear from you. We’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future to see how we’ve incorporated feedback like yours into our improvements.

Good way to spend an hour...

Richard_H, Jan 2025

Good way to spend an hour or so followed by some great fries. Some of the exhibits were quite serious about the history of potatoes, but with quite a few fun things too. Definitely worth stopping for the fries after.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for this fabulous review. We are happy to see that you have enjoyed your visit of Choco-Story Bruges

Fine Frietmuseum

Marilee_M, Sep 2024

Tired and tough topic to create a whole museum around, not geared towards anyone but kids. Thought we’d have a friet tasting but you had to purchase. Staff was great, but would pass unless you have a rainy afternoon and little kids.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to read you didn't enjoy our museum as much as we'd like. We did make it interactive so kids enjoy it more as well, but it's still very infomative

Miscommunication

Sharon_R, Jul 2024

Museum did not have our reservation despite the email from Viator providing me with the receipt of payment, letting me know to get the tickets from the museum directly for that day and time the museum was initially not willing to let me in without paying again, however eventually let us in, but they explain they will need to follow up with Viator to try and get payment from them since their system did not recognize that we had booked and paid Despite paying Several days before the visit

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Sharon, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to read you had troubles entering the museum. There must have been an error with the connection between our platform and the one from viator. We're still investigating this. It's a good thing the staff did let you in eventually. Normally, we are not allowed to let people in the museum if we can't find the attached online booking. We do hope you had a great visit and perhaps soms delicious fries as well.

Great to fill an hour or two.

Angela_K, Aug 2023

Great museum to fill up a couple of hours, super English translation and wonderful friets available to buy at the end!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Angela, Thank you for your review. We're glad to read you could appreciate our museum, its translation and our fries. We try to put in a good effort for our visitors and we're always glad it pays off

Frietmuseum

Karen_S, May 2019

Not much too see at this museum. My husband & I were there approximately an hr. In the basement theres a little restaurant where we ordered fries which were delicious.

Estafa

JohanaLisette_S, May 2024

Estuvo pésimo, nunca me contestaron en su contacto de atención, por lo que nunca pude obtener mi entradas y terminamos comprando nuevamente el boleto en el lugar

Response from Host, May 2024
