Dapp Frietwinkel Leiden in Binnenstad-Zuid

I've been there five times now and I haven't been disappointed each time. The fries are probably the best I've ever had, the staff are always very friendly, and you get your food very quickly.

These are the best fries I’ve had in Leiden. Definitely one of the best places in Netherlands too. Their potatoes are freshly cut and double fried which gives them a perfect texture. I personally like their pindasaus, it’s simply delicious! The owner is super nice too and I almost always walk out with a friendly interaction.

In principle, those fries are tastier than at other places we have in Leiden, but I find them too salty and with too many small pieces that you can't finish. 5.5/10

Really good fries!🤌🤌🤌 Crispy on the outside and soft inside. I was told these were some kind of “European champion” fries, and honestly, they didn’t lie The sauces were great too. Definitely a nice spot for proper fries in Leiden. Would happily come back!

Tasty fries but a very long wait. You order, and it takes another few minutes before they actually put the fries in the fryer....

The potatoes are very tasty, but there is no place to sit.

Delicious fries. The sauces are also great. Very friendly, fast service by Sansi.

best fries in the netherlands!! also the staff is very friendly! i totally recommend 🫶🏻

Really tasty fries!! Location by the canal, unfortunately not much space to sit down, but a handy standing table.

Best fries I've ever eaten 😍 Award-winning for good reason, yet still fairly priced. The staff is also very friendly. Food is prepared quickly and fresh. The truffle mayo is highly recommended!

Delicious fries! They're freshly made and the selection of sauces is good too. I'll definitely come back next time.

A small portion of fries really isn't that big. I found the peanut sauce too sweet; such sweet sauces give me a headache. I also think that all that sugar doesn't belong with savory food. And I don't like potato peels at all. The service was great.

Some of the best fries I've ever eaten 👌🏽

Soggy fries, half an order, and waited 2 hours for the rest. Bad service, even worse handling of forgotten items. There are better options in Leiden.

Simply the best frites in the Netherlands. A whole another level than any other frites place. When i went to belgium and try Frites Atelier, i thought it was already the best frites I've tasted in my life. But Dapp reignites my love for fries again. I can say that Dapp is a strong contender to Frites atelier in belgium. Dapp's frites are crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. I can taste the hint of sweetness from their potatoes. Even the small fries are still good, they're not dry and tough. I also love the addition of flaky salt as a default, which i didn't find in a lot of other frites place. I've only tried their truffle mayo, and it was a perfect match for their fries. They are also very generous with the amount of sauce given. We ordered the middel but can't even finish the sauce. If i were to nitpick, their portion is a bit smaller than other place i guess, but i think i prefer "quality more than quantity". They winning the world champion for authentic fries is the real deal.

Ordered two stewed meat and fries. Both containers were much less full than in the photo. And found out afterwards that we paid 2 euros for the 10m walk to the boat. 25 euros for two and still hungry.

Shame, 2 small fries with mayonnaise for almost €10. I don't understand the good rating either; the fries are just trash with almost nothing but small, hard pieces. The mayonnaise (for €1.35!!!) is absolutely inedible; it is a disgrace that this is allowed to be sold. And then there is the staff who pay absolutely no attention to you even though there is no one in the shop, and only complain that it is so hot and that their boss won't give them a working fan. It is also a disgrace that the boss treats his staff like this.

The fries are incredibly delicious – highly recommended!!! However, if you don't want to eat your fries (frikandel, croquettes) standing up, you should go somewhere else. There are two standing tables and a small bench in front of the shop. The prices are also excellent!

Well positioned in Leiden city center. Place recommended for vegans.

We chose this place for our Leiden trip based on the ratings. However, it wasn't as good as the ones in central Amsterdam.

We came here hoping to eat those amazing fries we had in Amsterdam before leaving the Netherlands. They were delicious, but to be honest, we didn't like them as much as the ones at Manneken Pis.

Sorry, but what a piece of trash. €51 for 2 fries with stewed beef, 2 fries with mayo and 4 cans, and then a 35-minute wait too!! Fries very salty We were looking forward to it after the good reviews, but it was a real disappointment!

Very tasty fries and frite balls.

Delicious fries, but please work on your packaging 💀😭 My whole pants got dirty…it was too full and everything leaked out 🥲

Small takeaway fries shop with excellent quality and amazing taste. The fries are crispy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The paper bag with a built-in sauce pocket is a simple but brilliant idea that makes everything much more convenient.

Absolutely amazing! Perfectly crispy on the outside, beautifully soft on the inside, and just the right amount of salt. They truly take the craft of making fries seriously. 10/10!

I went here because a friend recommended it. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the money. I got a small portion of fries with mayo for €4.95; expensive, but okay, I gave it a chance. I was quite disappointed; it consisted mainly of very small, hard pieces, with a few okay fries on top. I also found the portion size rather small for what I paid, despite it being a small. Still, 2 stars for the mayo, which was very tasty. Also, the man behind the counter was on his phone while there were many customers, and waiting outside with so many people wasn't ideal. I hope this was just a bad experience, because if everyone has this feeling, it isn't worth the average 4.5 stars!

Some of the best fries we've ever eaten! Really crispy and delicious! We had them with truffle mayo and it was absolutely amazing!

They call it the best fries in town, and I can’t disagree. The fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. What made the experience even better was their delicious peanut sauce, which was my personal favorite. If you’re in Leiden and love great fries, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

French fries and bitterballen were very good!

I had an amazing time at this wonderful place, and I had a great conversation with the owner, who also treated me to refreshments, which was something I hadn't seen in a long time. I was very pleased.

Large fries from a small shop, Winkel. A huge thank you to Thijs, clearly a winner of the French fry world championship in our eyes. We were very happy with our culinary discovery in May 2026.

Super fresh fries, delicious mayo, and a frikandel just the way it should be. Highly recommended!

Seems to be a cult favorite. And rightly so. Fries made from fresh potatoes. Definitely worth ordering if you're there.

The frikandel and especially the fries were very tasty!

Friet is really crispy! Trufflemayonaise is the best!

Best fries in Leiden and the surrounding area….

Been coming here for years. Love the friet and the people

I ordered fries here and unfortunately received leftovers instead of a fresh portion. I paid €6.15 for what were clearly old leftover fries. Without any shame, I was simply given this to take home, which I found really distasteful and very disappointing. The staff has no shame and gives you leftover fries! Additionally, the man behind the counter was very rude and unfriendly, and the place is not hygienic either! I would recommend people go to La Fresh instead. A super sweet, honest, and hardworking man works there who always gives you fresh fries and treats customers properly.

Tasty organic fries. Nice by the water, good atmosphere.

Nice and tasty fries, nutritious. Mayo less tasty.

They are the world champions of potato processing. It's a well-deserved title for the best fries around.

Love love their fries!! I always come here whenever I'm in Leiden. My go to spot! 😋

The food was delicious. Everything was well-seasoned and clearly freshly prepared. However, I was shocked by the situation in the restaurant: it was very busy and there was only one employee who had to do everything alone. She worked incredibly hard and fast and absolutely deserves respect for that. But honestly, this is not a workable situation; one person simply cannot run a fully booked restaurant. She had to do everything at once: taking orders, "cutting" potatoes, preparing food, and frying, which was clearly too much for one employee. Both I and other customers really felt sorry for her. She actually deserves a medal for her efforts, but it would be better if there were more staff present at times like these.

Crispiest fries ive ever had. Super tasty! Kudos to the store!

Super tasty fries, friendly service, and all for a good price! Highly recommended for a bite to eat in the heart of Leiden 😍

Super nice pommes shop! You can get just fried potatoes. The place is nice too. you can enjoy potatoes outside by the river:)

I thought the service was very good, and especially the person working at the fryer has a pretty tasty mother.

We went to try the "best fries in the world" and we were surprised to realize the claim is not fake. Really the best fries we've ever tried, you can see them cutting the potatoes fresh and frying them twice, dip sauces are also really good and the price is not high! Dapp deserves a detour if you're in town.

The fries are very tasty, and easy to eat from the paper cone. Service is very good, nice man.

Great service and delicious fries

Tasty chips, and the coolest chip / sauce cones I’ve seen! Cracking design. Enjoyed the croquettes too 😊

Excellent (organic) fries, very crispy and delicious 😋 Small portion €3.60, mayo €1.35

Expectations were high and it did not disappoint. The staff is friendly and fun to chat with. Good price.

Ultimately a disappointment, and I left the place feeling ripped off; lots of small pieces instead of 'normal fries', and there was much less in a bag than you would expect.

Looooove the fries! Also a lot of vegan sauces which is definitely a plus :D

Tasty fries, good selection of vegan sauces!

FINALLY a good bag of fries without getting dirty fingers. Worth it for that alone + lots of sauces and vegan options. Great place. :)

Very delicious French fries and very friendly staff. Whenever I come to the city center of Leiden, I get fries for my son from here.

The fries could have been fried a bit longer to get them really crispy. There was a nice amount of salt on them, though. The sauce was the tangy mayonnaise. That's not my favorite, but it was decent. It's a small place and unfortunately there isn't really a place to sit inside. I would recommend a trash can outside for the waste.

Its a great place for fries! Me and my friend tried it and its our "must go" when we visit Leiden. Definitely recommend , the service and food are great.

Delicious chips with a funky sauce holder. What’s not to love?!

I was very surprised that the fries were made from fresh potatoes. Because they're made this way, they taste really good and are always fresh. We had the Oorlog sauce, which I highly recommend as it's something different and tastes absolutely delicious! And what's also worth mentioning are the practical storage options for the fries.

The fries look good and are quite tasty. But the service is truly substandard. You stand waiting outside for half an hour because they only have one staff member on busy days. Ridiculous. We will go somewhere else from now on.

Very friendly people, very yummy food

Whenever we're in Leiden, we get fries here. The best in town!

Delicious fries made from fresh potatoes. We've been there twice already; the service is fast and friendly.

The potatoes they make here are just as good as any famous place in Amsterdam. I tried the truffle mayonnaise sauce and it was excellent; they also gave me a taste of the spicy one, which was delicious too. Highly recommended for the adventurous.

Amazing fries! I always go there when I'm in Leiden.

Delicious Dutch fries made from fresh potatoes and the best frikandels. Both are organic, which is (unfortunately) rare.

Fresh from the potato press, and delicious!

Tasty, also a free drink with it, very cozy, tasty fries too and friendly

I came here because they received an award. I ordered fries with stewed beef, but to me it was tasteless and I didn't get any chunks of meat, just shredded meat in the sauce. And they forgot my order! She said in 10 minutes, but I waited there for 15 or 18 minutes and she only asked if I had received my order. Oh no... once was enough.

great place to stop by and enjoy the best fries of leiden😚

Delicious fries, nice and fresh!

Delicious fries and tasty peanut sauce, just a bit busy!

Fries are certainly decent but nothing special, I prefer the ones from Manneken pis. Kimchi croquette is a bit meh The Jalapeno cheese bitterballen are absolutely delicious though and a true recommendation!

nice and good taste 👍🏻 i recommned

Amazing fries and even better service!

The place looks great and the staff are lovely

Best Fries in town. Very frienldy, highly recommend!

Friendly people behind the counter and rustic fries. Definitely recommended.

Very tasty food for a good price

Delicious!!! Fries with croquettes

Super delicious, lots of choices! The organic potatoes are delicious. And lots of vegan options! The price-quality ratio is also excellent!

Fresh and tasty fries, they cut the potatos in front of us!

Top super tasty fries 🍟 definitely recommended

Delicious fries! The atmosphere is also great! You can see what's going on in the kitchen, which makes it even more fun! The staff is friendly. I would definitely come here again!

Clean, delicious and good service

It was one of the most delicious fries in Netherlands

Nice and busy, get your turn quickly and enjoy!

come again to try different source!

This chip shop is absolutely great and they have a nice selection of vegetarian snacks!

Five stars. Freshly fried fries, crisp outside and soft inside, never greasy, and the portion size is generous. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. These are the best fries in the Netherlands. Add the mayonnaise and they taste even better.

Tried their potato dish today and absolutely loved it! Very tasty and comforting.

I just came across this place and it is best option in Leiden for a quick snack!

Just a chip shop, simple atmosphere, friendly service, and hey, the fries are absolutely delicious!

Though the location was small, the service was friendly and fast. Watching the process of making their fries really shows that they know their stuff. The food came out fast and perfect, so I'll be returning when I'm next in Leiden!

Nice atmosphere, beautiful decor and pleasant music.

What a beautiful tent, good service, we got the food very quickly and it was enjoyable
