Melis Ambachtelijke Friet in Wijk 12 Westkapelle

Great Kipling, delicious fries.

Excellent fries, very friendly staff – and there's delicious fish right across the street. Worth a visit!

Had a tasty ice cream, with the emphasis on tasty

Just a chip shop, reasonable quality. Thans it.

For Super Fries, we drive 400 kilometers every year for 800 if you include the return trip.

The kibbeling was absolutely delicious, and we relaxed in the outdoor area under bright sunshine.

The hype surrounding this chip shop is unfortunately incomprehensible! The fries were reheated and hard. We went there because of the good reviews and were disappointed! Not recommended!

Delicious food and good value for a holiday destination.

Almost always packed. Not cozy.

The selection is quite good. The hot fish dishes are thickly coated in breading and particularly greasy. The batter was also very dark when fried. The fish itself, however, was still juicy. We've been coming here several times during our holidays for a number of years now – unfortunately, the pavilion has become increasingly squalid. The floor is greasy, the benches and tables are sticky, and the number of belching and farting patrons (adults!), who actually find it funny, is on the rise. This year, we were quite disappointed with our visits. I think it really needs a thorough pressure washing and a good sprucing up of the pavilion, and the tables need to be cleaned regularly.

Delicious fries! Super clean place. No long queues. Plenty of covered and uncovered seating available.

Got delicious fries, though the wait was longer than usual. Had a nice chat.

Delicious fries and snacks, short wait times unless busy. It's easiest to order in advance. Then pick up and eat on the Westkapelle dike with a beautiful view 🤩

Delicious and fast. Price also OK for the Netherlands.

I've rarely had such bad fries. The 'berehap' wasn't good either, but the frikandel and spring roll were good.

The fries were so rock hard that you couldn't pick them up with a wooden skewer. My fingers were sticky because I had to eat the fries and peanut sauce with my hands. We won't be back.

This is exactly how Dutch fries should taste 🥰❤️🥰

Not recommended, more than half of the fries at the bottom had been in the oil multiple times, reported it and showed it at the counter, and we both threw the fries away.

We had a soft serve ice cream; it was really tasty, a delicious hard cookie. The ice could have been a bit firmer, though; it leaked a lot and that wasn't nice for the children.

The fries were very tasty, the staff were nice, but the seating options are very minimal.

Excellent fries and frikandel! Inexpensive and very tasty ☺️ Perfect if you've just been to the beach or want a quick bite!

A visit to Zeeland is simply a must during any trip – and has been for years! The quality is always top-notch, and the prices remain fair. Everything is freshly prepared without long waiting times. Highly recommended – we always love coming back! 😊

The best fries around, made fresh on-site from potatoes. No long wait times and friendly staff.

They have the best fries and frikandels in the region! Ordering is easy and the food arrives quickly. You have to sit outside under a covered area by the road that runs through Westkapelle. If you know this beforehand, it's not a problem. Otherwise, you can take a few steps directly up to the dam and see the sea. We've been coming here every year for over 20 years. Highly recommended.

Kibbeling with a very tasty breading, fish very tender

Here you can find the best fries

Delicious and creamy soft serve ice cream. Friendly staff. You can order at the terminal or directly from the staff. Seating is covered.

Good fries. Atmosphereless terrace. Just climb up the dike to eat your fries.

The tastiest peanut fries in the country. Even have them for breakfast if you like. They're artisan fries that they cut themselves, which makes them extra delicious.

Great fries and snacks, perfect takeaway system!!

Delicious! A favorite for years to grab fries every now and then and eat them by the dike; highly recommended.

The best Kibbeling ever😋😋😋😋and also mega good fries

I've been coming here for fries for 30 years. Delicious as always.

The best fries in a beautiful spot along the seawall. Definitely worth the detour!

Our first stop when we're on holiday here. Always delicious.

The dishes (small fries with mayo, frikadel special, croquette) were delicious and exactly as expected. The ordering system on the screens was clear, straightforward, and comprehensive. If I'm in the area, I'd love to come back.

Fries, Frikandeln, and fish, always a pleasure

Like every year a must, simply great and recommended

Ate delicious fries. Really TOP

Absolutely. Best French fries I've ever eaten.

It's absolutely incomprehensible how anyone could give this place 4 stars—we were served cold, reheated, completely over-fried fries that were more reminiscent of fried wood chips in texture and taste. More than 1 star is completely overkill.

Good, inexpensive fries with various sauces, and sheltered seating next door.

Good as always. We'll eat there at least once when we're in Zeeland.

The wait was a bit longer in the evening, but it was worth it. The fries were delicious!

Delicious Dutch fries at a fair price. Right behind the dunes.

We visited Melis for the first time this year, driving 33 km from our home to Westcapelle (but also taking a 2 km walk along the beach, of course). It was once again delicious and plentiful. 1x Friet Moeilijk (Specialty + Satay), 1x Friet met Stoofvlees, €11.50. I had forgotten to order mayonnaise, and even got it for free. Friendly staff, very tasty and plentiful, including the Stoofvlees. Always a recommendation – other frituurs could learn a thing or two from their work, even if Melis doesn't have the great atmosphere of other places. But I'm going there for a snack, not a restaurant. 👋🥰

Friendly people, good quality since 1970 (?). Lots of snack options, and soft serve ice cream is also available.

Delicious fries stew. A good system to keep wait times down during busy periods. We'd make a detour for it.

For years, we've been stopping by Melis for snacks every time we visit Westkapelle. Even when it's busy, we're always served fairly quickly. The location is great, the prices and quality of the food are top-notch, and the staff are friendly, too. (May 2025)

Top top top👌 even a chicken burger, they're soooo delicious! Oh, and the fish is fantastic too!

Very delicious fries and soft ice! The price for the fries is very cheap, so I definitely recommend a visit when being nearby

The food is fine, but the black-haired employee behind the counter still has a lot to learn about customer service. The order was taken incorrectly, and she made the wrong order, and we, as customers, were blamed for it even though we hadn't ordered it. Such a shame.

We came here 30 years ago on vacation. The fact that we're coming back speaks volumes, right?

Delicious food, and you can also sit down comfortably and eat & drink.

A cult must-visit during your vacation

The fries? Golden brown, crispy, as if personally blessed by the potato gods. The atmosphere? Lovely, rural, with the aroma of happiness and grease. But then… the curry on the special fries. Sweet. Too sweet. Not Hela, but a curry that probably used to be on the children's menu.

Fries were very good, frikandel was ok. Very convenient order on screens. Interesting ice cream toppings.

Best French Fries, Frikandel, and Burger joint for miles around. Top value for money, excellent quality.

Very, very tasty fries and absolutely great prices!

I've been eating here since I was a kid, and it's always really good. I'll continue to eat here until I retire.

It's as if Nehalennia has shed her tears in the frying fat. Each chip tastes like a gold bar plucked from the cloaca of a golden chicken. And what lactose-rich milkshakes! Delicious.

The place is buzzing, and it wouldn't be if the quality were poor. Delicious, typically Dutch snacks. Despite the crowds, the wait time is okay. If you want, you can order and pay via the display, similar to popular burger chains. You'll then receive a receipt with a number, and an electronic display tells you when it's ready. The ambiance is nothing special, and my table was greasy and dirty. There's room for improvement. Or you can take it with you and sit on the beach... 🙂

Delicious fresh fries and good-quality snacks. I go from Vlissingen to Westkapelle once a week just for Melis chip shop. It's also affordable, even cheaper than in the city during peak season. My favorite. And they have delicious satay there.

Located directly on the beach, with everything you need for a small appetite, and toilets are also available on site

I've been coming here for many years, whenever I'm in the Netherlands. The fries used to be homemade and exceptionally delicious. Unfortunately, lately, the fries have become reminiscent of factory-made fries. What a shame.

We wanted kibbeling with fries. What we got was a family-sized portion of kibbeling dripping with grease, more breading than fish. The fries were also a disaster. We just had grease in our mouths, which could definitely be better. It's also a stupid solution that there's only one stand for fish, and if you want fries, you have to go to the stand in the same shop across the street. Never again.

melis frittenbude in westkapelle is a real gem the fries are cut and fried on the spot and you can just taste the difference they are without a doubt the tastiest fries you can eat crispy on the outside soft on the inside and just perfectly fried price quality is completely fine you get value for money and that is quite special these days in addition the kibbeling is really on a different level super fresh well seasoned and simply delicious if you are in the area this is an absolute must

The best fries ever Good value for money Top!!!!

Delicious fresh fries and many other snacks🤤🤤🤤

Tasty dry fries. With a portion of satay of 3 sticks. Curry and mayo on top. I didn't like the wooden skewer so I did it with my fingers. You sit right next to the water. You can also enjoy a hot cappuccino. Fish with it or a nice soft ice cream. The portion was finally normal for once. The satay sauce was sweet which I'm not a fan of. Now it was already quite busy so in July/August take into account mega crowds so long queues to order.!

The best dumplings and the best fries... And enjoy it all up on the dike

Well, I've had better fries ..... All those hard bits at the bottom and I found them very thin. I prefer thicker fries :)

Delicious fries and frikandel. Fair price, good quality, large portions. Despite the very long line, the wait wasn't too long. Well organized. Not a great place to sit down. Better to take away.

I highly recommend it, especially the Bami, but not the ice cream with the chocolate drip. It's very heavy to eat and makes a huge mess. It was still delicious :)

There is a wide selection of different fish varieties

Our first stop in Zeeland, Westkapelle: Fries and Kibbelinge.

Because of the bad service in Domburg, I cycled to Zoutelande for fries. At first I was a bit skeptical about fries at a beach bar. The friendly young man convinced me because the fries are homemade. Delicious fries, tasty mayonnaise, good price, and ditto portion. Potatoes are cut and fried on the spot. So that's why the small pieces in your container and the potatoes are fried twice. Fries as fries should be. Thank you, you made my day.

Good service and quick processing

Always good fries that are cut from whole potatoes.

I always like to go to this place Very respectful and friendly employees! Food (fish and seafood) always fresh and professionally prepared! I highly recommend!

Takeaway. Always great fish and chips

Delicious fries and friendly service, even got a refund for a wrong order and didn't ask for it. Top service 10 plus

I recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting your place in Westkapelle, thanks to my dear friend who lives nearby and insisted I try your fries. And I’m so glad she did — because what I had was, without a doubt, the best fries of my life! The taste, the perfect crisp, and the warm atmosphere of your place created such a memorable experience. It was an unexpected highlight of my trip, and even now, back home in India, I find myself thinking about those fries and smiling. I just wanted to say thank you for the joy your food brought me. It’s amazing how something so simple, when made with care and love, can leave such a lasting impression. If it’s not a closely guarded secret, I’d be truly grateful if you could share a little bit about how you make your fries so amazing. I’d love to try recreating a little bit of that magic at home, if only to relive the memory. Thanks again for the incredible food and for being such a wonderful part of my travel experience. I hope to visit again someday!

The fries are okay. Unfortunately no thick Pomeranians, just the thin ones, some of which are very crispy. I was hoping for more.

Been coming here for over 30 years, but today is the last time. Super hard fries. Not tasty anymore, too bad. The bickering on the other side was even worse. Everything poured into the container.

Definitely recommended for when you're hungry every now and then...

If you want to eat really tasty fries somewhere: Definitely go to Melis Ambachtelijke Friet at the bottom of the dike. Where the fries are still cut themselves. Taking it with you is recommended. 300m by car to the dike or just walk up the stairs to eat with a sea view. The rush to order says it all. 😉

There's fries and there's fries. I really like the fries here. No mealy thick fries. But just tasty crispy fries. For me, fries and fries are the same, so anyone who thinks fries should be called fries or something else, too bad, because it's all about the golden yellow potato stems and how they taste I don't like corny things myself. It should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Furthermore, the snacks are also good.

Great fries to drive around for. Very friendly service.

Cold on the terrace. Heater was desired

Very good fries. I am happy I could pay with bitcoin/satoshi, I even got a some discount for it.

There will definitely be a wait on Saturday evening. Even in the off-season. Tasty friets, well organized service. We'd love to come back.

Unfortunately I didn't think it was that good, the fries weren't tasty and the service was unfortunately very overwhelmed

Delicious fries with mayonnaise ate because of a Belgian

We have been coming here from Vlissingen for years. This is Champigions League fries. Always consistent in taste.

Quick bite at the bottom of the Westkapelsche diek😌

Delicious. Would love to come back

"Hello, twee speciale frietjes alstublieft" and then everything went very quickly with the payment. With the receipt and the order number printed on it, there was a little wait in the pickup line. But everything is within reason. We didn't like the French fries that were fried a little too long. But that is a matter of taste. Everything was fine with mayo, curry ketchup and fresh onions. You can't really talk about the ambience here and evaluate it. To a certain extent, “tourist processing” takes place here. The Melis fish snack bar was right opposite! Highly recommended...

The fact remains, they are the BEST FRIES in the world. I am thrilled year after year.

In my opinion the best fries and frikandelen in all of Walcheren. In addition, a very good price-performance ratio. Order acceptance and issuing are separate. This means there is no mess. In addition, the orders are always ready very quickly. Ambiance? Well yes, but really delicious!!!
