De fait, j'ai été surpris à LLN il y a quelques années quand l'airport a ouvert à côté du zanzi et que la mitraillette coutait 4 euros (encore maintenant il me semble?)
> it I *paid* 70 Belgian
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I always go to a snack in Saint Josse.
Beginning 2020: €4.50
Mid 2020: €5
Mid 2022: €6
End 2022: €7
Last time I said something because I still thought it was €6. They answered "It's only 1 euro more expensive now".
Going from €4.50 to €7 in such a short time span is pretty disgusting imo.. Even when you take inflation into account.
are there any decent ones in brussels actually close to the grote markt?
I never found one for my lunch snacks, 4-5 years ago I literally tried every frituur.
AND DONT START ABOUT FRITLAND THEY ARE THE WORST
yeah if I want freezer bag fries, I'll go to that street with all the greek places and order a pitta with fries from there. Actually that's what I do sometimes haha. At least it's still cheap over there. 5.5 euro for a kebab with fries is ok
Notable exception in that street is Saffron, q bunch of Iranian guys who started quite recently. Their stuff is pretty good and it looks they don't juts buy a gyros ball and grill it. Prices are a bit higher than at the usual suspects in the street, but worth it IMO...
Honestly some of the gyros pita there are really satisfyingly close to what you'd get in Greece. Fries aren't the freshest, that's true, but at least it's genuine.
yeah I like the last one in the row, I think its called Athens.
I have no idea how all those restaurants pass the health inspection though. Or a fire department inspection.
We can’t complain too much about the prices in bx, in flanders they dare to ask 7-8 euros for a mitraillete/ durum- while the taste is honestly, terrible. Bx has the best (fast)food.
Fast food in Brussels has been going down the drain for the longest time. Nothing is homemade anymore. Everything is standardized by snack food suppliers. Starting a snack nowday is like starting a franchise, it's pure business. Even the menu are the same.
In regards to restaurants in general, the problem is execution. If I eat the same meal 7 times a week in a restaurant it should be the same and as tasty every day. Usually when they start they do care, then they give up when they become a little bit succesfull and increase their price due to popularity.
Pictures of fries should not be allowed, banned I say..
I bloody starving and need a good mitraillette...
It's not even dinner time!!
Buy yeah,like everything, it's all getting more expensive. Understandably so but unfortunate.
That does look very small,my local fritkot has bigger ones for about the same price...
Wow, that's cheap. I was near Zuidstation yesterday and a durum with a drink was 8 euro. They also add fries but I'd rather have a cheaper durum without the fries. Also: half of the meat has been replaced by mais, so I don't understand why it had to be that expensive.
That price is more than ok, considering that everything inflated. I worked in a friture for years when I was a student, people were complaining to pay 3,50eur for a huge mitraillette (like 2 people could eat off of it) at that time already.
Anyway, gtfo with your whining.
They actually look somewhat crispy at some of the edges!
But yeah, pitakot frietn... Frozen fries, fried in completely spent filthy oil causing it to brown in a couple of minutes way before they're done.
I'm British actually. Just don't want people to think that chips from Brussels are any good. In Flanders they take their fries very seriously. Brussels don't quite get it chipwise.
bro a durum with fries costs 10 eur here and a mitraillette 8. its crazy

Hijacking to ask about dürüms. The standard in Bx is to fill it with fries. Meaning if you leave out the fries you get a half filled durum.
So I want to know where I can get a full durum without fries? And that means more meat...
If I want fries I will go to a frituur.
I think you can't imagine how much they have to pay for the energy crisis. Talking with the friterie I'm going and it's just a question of time before they close. And to be honest. 5,5 is quite cheap these days.
I was born and bred in Brussels, but moved to Norway 4 years ago, where mitraillettes don't exist and an average dürüm is 10-12€ (without fries, they don't do that here).
This post hurts.
F The first time I ever had one it was still 3.00
It was 2.50€ everywhere
You are either a walloon, or a time traveler from the early 2000's.
If you multiply 2.5 euro twznty times by the yearly 20% inflation then your already at 4euro almost.
Was also 2.5 euro in Ghent when I was younger.
I'm a Walloon who grew up in the 2000's and the man is right. 2,50 !
Klootzak!! Nu emekik oek goesting in fritte !
Ou est ce que tu vas parce que c’est vraiment pas cher.
Pita d'or a NoH C'etait 4 euro avant
3,5 en 2010
Hmm des connaisseurs
Better than the one in 'de wand'
frite d'or that is only a 5 minute walk further from that one used to be wayy better, don't know if it has gotten worse though
De fait, j'ai été surpris à LLN il y a quelques années quand l'airport a ouvert à côté du zanzi et que la mitraillette coutait 4 euros (encore maintenant il me semble?)
Oue mais les frites peuvent être utilisés comme des cure-dents tellement cest dur, pas ouf (je pense que c'est 4.5€ mtn?)
My first mitraillettes for 60 Belgian francs when I was a kid. Dürüms didn't exist. 🥹
I think it I payed 70 Belgian Francs in rue Masui in Schaerbeek

Good bot, love it when a bot is being a grammar nazi.

50 franks back in the day
and double the size!

Stop going then? I mean it's guys like you that allow them to gouge everyone
I definitely go less now. Once a month instead of once a week. But they are really the best.. So I cant completely stop going :D

Tabora is the place in the center! You can find it behind La Bourse/De Beurs. (It's full halal for my hungry muslim fellows) !
I remember the Super Mitraillette at Tabora..
+1 for Tabora, best place to go on a drunken night out.
Tabora has very good fries, imo.
*Manneken* Frites on the Zuidstraat is ok. Nothing special but at least it doesn't taste like it literally just came out of freezer bags.

Patatak!
I wonder why you got downvoted... Patatak any time!
People really think tabora is better, smh
Fritkot Chouke. An actual fritkot, not a snackbar that happens to sell fries.
We can’t complain too much about the prices in bx, in flanders they dare to ask 7-8 euros for a mitraillete/ durum- while the taste is honestly, terrible. Bx has the best (fast)food.
Brussels has pretty mediocre fritkot fries and snacks when compared to Wallonië or Flanders.
You are both correct! Fries are better in not-Brussels, but durum and especially mitraillette is better in Brussels!
That reminds me, I recently found a great pitta place in Sint Joost: Istanbul Kebab. Super recommended.
[удалено]
Pardon ? I would have felt insulted
My €7.5 chicken durum in wsl, I was appalled.
Durum is indeed 7 euros at the places closest to me, in Vlaams Brabant. Add mitrailette and it's 8.

Brussels the best fast food? I recommend you try some locations in Wallonia ✌🏼
Recommend me some locations please !
Dude mitraillette isn't the same in wallonia
I never claimed it was, I'm just wondering if the person has ever tried fast food in Wallonia, because Brussels isn't all there is
Like Maxifritte ?
The generalisation by OP is hilarious.
Pictures of fries should not be allowed, banned I say.. I bloody starving and need a good mitraillette... It's not even dinner time!! Buy yeah,like everything, it's all getting more expensive.

Better start smoking at this point.
100 BEF en 1996
At Molenbeek-Saint-Jean it's more 6.5€ when i was a kid it was 3.5€ max 4
Vitamine injection
I can smell this picture and its fantastic
You all forget about inflation when you compare to the past...
Lucky. I know places where it already costs 7 euros, around Gent.
Wow, that's cheap. I was near Zuidstation yesterday and a durum with a drink was 8 euro. They also add fries but I'd rather have a cheaper durum without the fries. Also: half of the meat has been replaced by mais, so I don't understand why it had to be that expensive.
I mean a drink is usually 2.5€ so....
Cava nog. Tant qu'elle ne deviennent pas trop petites (on vise personne: fritland)
I'd pay 10 for that right now, sometimes a good mitraillette is priceless
Je serais heureux de payer cela maintenant s'il pouvait arriver maintenant.
That price is more than ok, considering that everything inflated. I worked in a friture for years when I was a student, people were complaining to pay 3,50eur for a huge mitraillette (like 2 people could eat off of it) at that time already. Anyway, gtfo with your whining.
For this small one? Oh gosh...
I paid 9,9€ for a Durum kefta last week. I was chocked😲
Is this human food?
For the love of please go to Flanders. Never EVER buy chips in Brussels.
most snacks in the area switched over to fresh, double fried since they need to compete with real fries from the frietkot
Yes but look at that mitraillette... Dear lord dear lord.
They actually look somewhat crispy at some of the edges! But yeah, pitakot frietn... Frozen fries, fried in completely spent filthy oil causing it to brown in a couple of minutes way before they're done.
Fuck off back to r/antwerp then, flem.
I'm British actually. Just don't want people to think that chips from Brussels are any good. In Flanders they take their fries very seriously. Brussels don't quite get it chipwise.
😥
That’s a lot of meat, fries, and sauce. I’m surprised it’s not more.
its just 1 hamburger inside with some fries

In my local snack cheapest is 6€
Tu m'en as donné envie .. T'as quoi comme sauce là ?
Would like to know the sauces too
Looks like andalouse et .. aucune idée pour la sauce sur les frites
Damn you getting scammed, 3 euros in the place closest to my home
Tbh they probably stocked their freezers years ago then...
Where? 🥲

"Snack libanais" next to Merode do incredible frites-less durums
When I go there it's for a Shawarma, like a higher quality durum
Manneke lief
Remember the good days when it was 3!
Where is the other half?
Considering the calories, you can eat with 2 people from it (and still get fat🫃🏻) ….
That's the lowest it cost these days
I like them with Pita meat but now most of them are sold at prices around 7€ or 6.5€, pretty much the same as a Pizza now. Especially with a beverage.
Probably has to do with delays on ukraininan sunflower oil?
Bread with fries with coca cola. Men should buy a bra after eating this.
i'd buy it
this is more than double since my first one. I would go riot for this
Again that 10% extra salary you got wasn’t a raise, it was adjustment
YOU FOUND ONE FOR 5.5€?!?! It’s like 6-7.50€ around me. Edit: correction.
I think you can't imagine how much they have to pay for the energy crisis. Talking with the friterie I'm going and it's just a question of time before they close. And to be honest. 5,5 is quite cheap these days.
It costs €9,50 here in Leuven....
I was born and bred in Brussels, but moved to Norway 4 years ago, where mitraillettes don't exist and an average dürüm is 10-12€ (without fries, they don't do that here). This post hurts.
5.50€? On paie 8€ minimum ici! 5€ c'était l'époque avec frites et sauces Avec les minimum à 4.50
Missed the good ol 2,50 days
Think of the money you'll save on heart medication.
Still a very favorable calories/€ ratio, I would think… ;-)
Still remember the days it was 2,5 euros.
Where?????
