Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Fabel Fries located?
We have three locations in Amsterdam: Oude Hoogstraat 21, Nieuwedijk 10A, and Runstraat 1.
What should I order at Fabel Fries?
Our specialty is fries with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and homemade truffle mayonnaise. The Parmigiano Reggiano we use comes directly from the Boselli cheese farm, owned by brothers Nullo and Marcello, in the Parma region of Italy. The cheese is made using traditional methods, with animal welfare being a top priority.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options at Fabel Fries?
Yes, Fabel Fries offers a wide range of vegan sauces, and we fry our fries in plant-based oil, separate from our other products.
What type of potatoes does Fabel Fries use?
We use Agria potatoes, grown in the Netherlands, specifically developed for making fries. The season affects the flavor of the potatoes. By shielding them from light and maintaining the right temperatures, we keep the starch content consistent, resulting in a superior taste all year round.
What does Fabel Fries do to minimize its environmental impact?
We use eco-friendly packaging materials, fry our potatoes in their skins to reduce waste by 10%, and recycle our used oil into biodiesel. This way, we contribute to a circular economy. Additionally, since opening our store, we have been actively involved in keeping our neighborhood clean. We pick up litter daily and empty full trash cans in the surrounding area in collaboration with the local government.
Why is Fabel Fries so popular?
At Fabel Fries, everything revolves around quality and authenticity. Our fries 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 neighborhood. With our locations in the most vibrant and popular areas of Amsterdam, we create not only the best fries but also a warm and personalized experience that fits the city's spirit.
What makes Fabel Fries so special?
Our unique combination of freshly cut fries, prepared with care and attention, and our focus on sustainability make Fabel Fries stand out. We offer original flavors like Parmesan cheese with truffle mayonnaise and work exclusively with high-quality, local ingredients.
Where do the fries come from?
Our fries are made from Agria potatoes, a specially selected variety grown in the Netherlands. These potatoes provide the perfect fries: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Fries and patat are the same product, but the term used differs by region in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, 'fries' is commonly used.
