La Frite Belgian Bistro

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!!

Really special place and so glad it's open again! The best place to enjoy mussels outside of Brussels. Affordable, great service, wonderful wine selection, and they have Hoegaarden on tap! It's one of my favorite places in San Antonio, and makes me feel as if I'm back in Europe.

Received a recommendation to try La Frite Belgian Bistro, so came out on a Friday night after making a reservation. Very nice, intimate restaurant in Southtown. Only about 15-20 tables and it keeps the experience very personal. Was immediately greeted at the door and seated with my reservation. Waiter came to explain their menu, daily specials, Prix Fixe offering, and wine selection. With that, started off with a bottle of Grand Cru Riesling, escargot, arugula salad, watermelon salad, mussels, and some frites. I had to try a little bit of everything since it was highly recommended. They also recommended placing the main meal orders at the same time so they could pace all the food out. I appreciated that as you didn't feel rushed and was able to enjoy each course. Was able to enjoy all the appetizers over a glass of wine. Both salads were very light and refreshing. The mussels were probably my favorite. They were served in a mix of the Basque sauce and the Marinieres. It was a nice mix for the wine, shallots, garlic with a little heat of the pepper, chili, and paprika. The escargot was a close 2nd as it was served in a very flavorful butter sauce. All the appetizers were well-portioned and presented nicely. For the main meals, had the lobster, Prix Fixe (lamb, scalloped potatoes, mixed veggies), rabbit two-way (daily special). The timing of food was perfect as had plenty of time to enjoy the appetizers with some wine. All were plated in an appealing manner. I can't say which was my favorite as all were really good. I had the lamb since there's limited options for lamb in San Antonio. It was cooked perfectly by being juicy and flavorful without the gamey taste. The lobster was nice large and meaty portions that were lightly breaded. I didn't get to try the rabbit, but they said it was very good. It must've been good as they forgot to share around the table. For desserts, had the crème brulee, Belgian waffle, and floating island. All were good portions to share. The crème brulee had nice, hard caramelized top with a light, fluffy custard below. The Belgian waffle was my favorite as it had a nice balance of the dough topped with the sweetness of chocolate, sugar, cream, and strawberries. The floating island was a delicious meringue served on top of custard sauce. This place was highly recommended and glad I listened. From the setting, service, food, and desserts, it was a great experience and I highly recommend to the next person.

What a treat! Everything, from the dishes (trout and lemon chicken) to deserts (chocolate tart, chocolate mousse) to dark beer to coffee was finger-licking good.

Quality food with friendly staff. I love their large list of wines and the chocolate mousse was simply delectable.

This place is very small and intimate. My only 1 complaints would be that it was very warm in there. I actually enjoyed the food. The appetizer I order was the shrimp fritters I think and the sauce it came with was delish! I tried the onion tart and I have to say I did not like it much because I'm not a big onion person, but I was offered to replace it with the watermelon salad and oh boy was that yummy in my tummy ?. I had the Mahi Mahi fish w/ rice and veggies for my entree and wow the fish was very flavorful for sure. My friends also enjoyed their food and had no complaints which is a good thing because they are very picky eaters. One of my friends had the mussels and she said that their the best she has had in a while. Oh and a lady came over to check on us and had some good convo as well not sure if she was the owner or not but it was very welcoming. The only thing we didn't like was the dessert which was the chocolate mousse wish they had more options for dessert. We would definitely recommend this place to others and go back in the future ?

My absolute favorite restaurant in all of San Antonio. The owner is very nice and the food is always amazing! The escargot is out of this world and their wine selection is unmatched. The only reason I'm no longer a regular is because I've moved out of state. I'll be visiting La Frite Belgian every time I'm in San Antonio.

If i could eat the whole menu I would. Everything is delicious!!
