Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Fabel Friet?
We have three locations in Amsterdam: Oude Hoogstraat 21, Nieuwedijk 10A, and Runstraat 1.
What should I order at Fabel Friet?
Our specialty is chips with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and homemade truffle mayonnaise. The Parmigiano Reggiano we use comes directly from the Boselli cheese farm of brothers Nullo and Marcello in the Parma region of Italy. The cheese is made using traditional methods, with animal welfare playing an important role.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options at Fabel Friet?
Yes, Fabel Friet has a wide range of vegan sauces, and we fry our chips in plant-based oil, separate from our other products.
What type of potatoes does Fabel Friet use?
We use Agria potatoes from Dutch soil, specially developed for chips. The season affects the flavour of the potatoes. By shielding from light and maintaining the right temperatures, we keep the starch content as consistent as possible for a superior flavour throughout the year.
What does Fabel Friet do to reduce its environmental impact?
We use eco-friendly packaging materials; we fry our chips in their skins, which reduces waste by 10%; and our used oil is recycled into biodiesel. This way, we contribute to a circular economy. Additionally, since opening our shop, we have been actively involved in keeping our neighbourhood clean. We daily pick up litter and empty full bins in the surrounding area in collaboration with the local council.
Why is Fabel Friet so popular?
At Fabel Friet, everything revolves around quality and authenticity. Our chips are always cut fresh, with the skin on, and fried in plant-based oil for that genuine, pure taste. Sustainability is in our DNA: we use eco-friendly packaging, recycle our oil into biodiesel, and actively contribute to a clean neighbourhood. With our locations in the most vibrant and popular areas in and around Amsterdam's centre, we create not only the best chips but also a warm and personal experience that fits the city's soul.
What makes Fabel Friet so special?
Our unique combination of freshly cut chips, prepared with care and attention, and our focus on sustainability make Fabel Friet special. We offer original flavours such as Parmesan cheese with truffle mayonnaise and work exclusively with high-quality, local ingredients.
Where do the chips come from?
Our chips are made from Agria potatoes, a specially selected variety from Dutch soil. These potatoes provide the perfect chip: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
What is the?
Chips and fries are exactly the same product, but the terminology differs per region in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, 'friet' (chips) is commonly used.
