If you’ve spent any time in the Netherlands or Belgium, you might already know Frites Atelier. Or at the very least, you’ll have clocked the queues snaking out the door. Now the cult fry shop has finally come to London, opening on Old Compton Street in Soho. The brand is the creation of three-Michelin-starred Dutch chef Sergio Herman, and in their own words, the chips are “F**ing Perfect.” Expect hand-cut, double-fried frites, served with sauces like truffle mayo, piccalilli, and spicy andalouse, plus loaded options including Spicy Royal Rendang, Old Flemish Beef Stew, and Vegan Chilli Con Queso. Everything is made in-house, and the menu doesn’t stop at fries — there are burgers and croquettes too. With closing hours ranging from midnight to 3am (Weds – Sat), there’ll always be time for some chips.
