Friterie

A friture, baraque à frites or friterie (pronounced [fʁitʁi]) in French-speaking Belgium and Northern France, or frituur or frietkot in Flanders and the Netherlands, also fritkot in French-speaking Belgium and friture or frietkraam in the Netherlands, is a traditional restaurant, kiosk or van serving quick-service fast food, particularly fries from which they derive their name.

Traditionally, the most typical companion to fries were cold mussels in vinegar, as well as carbonade flamande.

A variation is to serve meat, fries, sauce and possibly salad in a half of a baguette and is known as a Mitraillette.

[1] Alternatively, the same ensemble can be put into a Dürüm, although this practice is more common in friteries run by Turkish immigrants.

[2] In Marc Sleen's comics series The Adventures of Nero the character Jan Spier owns a friterie, where usually caricatures of famous people order fries.
