I spent a lot of years traveling through Belgium. I enjoy the food in the French and German parts. We visited La Frite and stopped in for dinner. We made a reservation a few hours ahead of time. The restaurant does remind me of a place off of the square in Brussels. The interior had three sections. We felt like we were in Brussels. Very quaint and comfortable. The service was just the best. Everyone was attentive and asking us what we needed. We shared an appetizer of mussels and fries. Even the lady tried the mussels which surprised me. We had extra bread to dip into the cream wine sauce. The fries, were a bit floppy and dark. The mayo-herb sauce was really outstanding. We had a green salad and Caesars salad, both good. The lady had sliced duck which was cooked perfectly. The son had trout which had a nice soft crust. I was going to get coco vin, but for some reason, had the curry lamp shank. It was good but didn’t seem to go with the rest of the Euro-vibe. We shared an apple pear tart – not to sweet and delicious. We had a great time and will be back the next time we visit San Antonio.

It’s impossible to put into words how incredible this unsuspecting dining spot truly is. It is humble in its unassuming location and flies under the radar until a server introduces you to the menu, the de jour specials etc. From the first bite to last sip you will be pleased with the near-perfect execution of dishes. The Pork Chop was immaculate, the swordfish was exemplary, and the desserts were perfectly balanced. We will be rushing back at our earliest convenience.

Simply love this place! Went for a private party and the service couldn’t have been better. I’m thinking of having my birthday here when the time comes.

We chose La Frite Belgian Bistro because of the menu options & reviews, it did not disappoint!! Good service & great food. I noticed their Blue Plate Award on the wall and restaurant inspection score of 99, always good signs! Will be back!

My husband and I met a group of friends here and although there were 10 of us, the service was fantastic. After finding parking – since Southtown can be very hard to find a place to park – we had a great time and a great meal.

Lovely service and food as always, but the noise level is just abhorrent.

Very nice place. Waiter didn’t introduce himself and he didn’t get salt to our table quickly. However he offered a free beverage and everything else was spot on. We sat by the door and many patrons failed to close it. I would suggest they install an automatic door closer. That all said, we did love this place. Mussels were fantastic. I think they fries were good, not great. Not sure they had the oil hot enough as they lacked a bit of crispiness. Small issue as the rest of the food was delicious.

Very friendly warm service. Steak and fries are delicious as well as the sauce comes with. We tried duck, some deserts, risotto this time. All of them were so good. We could make a reservation with Google map which was super handy too.

We just recently moved to SA and this is BY FAR, HANDS DOWN, the BEST restaurant I’ve been to yet!!! We ordered the mussels w fries, new England clam chowder, rack of lamb, ham/cheese/mushroom crepe, chicken puff pastry and chocolate mousse. All were to die for!!! Customer service was excellent, they were so friendly and accommodating, even offered to make an off-the menu item for kiddoes. This will definitely be our go-to spot for bringing visiting fam and friends!!!! Meant to take more pics, but were too busy stuffing our face!!
