Reviews for La Frite Belgian Bistro in San Antonio, TX
So, the food is great, the atmosphere is solid. Just the right mix of fancy and casual. I really like this place and would have... given a great review, but... after the table next to me and my girlfriend left, someone came over to clean it, and did so byblasting Windex on the wooden table (which, Windex?) and hit our food. Even if he hadn't hit our food, we were smelling Windexfor the next few minutes, which is not appetizing at all. That ruined the meal for my girlfriend, because of course it did. Ithink if I spend $120 on a dinner, we get to not have Windex in our food. Who on this planet uses aerosols to clean tables withguests around?! Read more
I've dined at La Frite multiple times over the past many years and the food and service is always on point.
If i could eat the whole menu I would. Everything is delicious!!
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 mefeel as if I'm back in Europe. Read more

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 atthe door and seated with my reservation. Waiter came to explain their menu, daily specials, Prix Fixe offering, and wineselection. With that, started off with a bottle of Grand Cru Riesling, escargot, arugula salad, watermelon salad, mussels, andsome frites. I had to try a little bit of everything since it was highly recommended. They also recommended placing the mainmeal 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 toenjoy each course. Was able to enjoy all the appetizers over a glass of wine. Both salads were very light and refreshing. Themussels were probably my favorite. They were served in a mix of the Basque sauce and the Marinieres. It was a nice mix for thewine, shallots, garlic with a little heat of the pepper, chili, and paprika. The escargot was a close 2nd as it was served in avery 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 hadplenty of time to enjoy the appetizers with some wine. All were plated in an appealing manner. I can't say which was myfavorite as all were really good. I had the lamb since there's limited options for lamb in San Antonio. It was cookedperfectly by being juicy and flavorful without the gamey taste. The lobster was nice large and meaty portions that were lightlybreaded. 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 aroundthe table. For desserts, had the crème brulee, Belgian waffle, and floating island. All were good Read more
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 Ihave 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 saladand 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 veryflavorful for sure. My friends also enjoyed their food and had no complaints which is a good thing because they are very pickyeaters. 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 tocheck 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 wedidn't like was the dessert which was the chocolate mousse wish they had more options for dessert. We would definitely recommendthis place to others and go back in the future ????

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 todie for!!! Customer service was excellent, they were so friendly and accommodating, even offered to make an off-the menu itemfor kiddoes. This will definitely be our go-to spot for bringing visiting fam and friends!!!! Meant to take more pics, but weretoo busy stuffing our face!! Read more
