A Tramway Turned into a Fries Stand
The Tram de Boitsfort is a former vehicle from the Brussels public transport network, carefully restored before being converted into a snack bar. Located along Avenue des Archiducs, it has kept all its vintage charm: original benches, retro signage, and even the driver’s cabin, preserved exactly as it was. Here, you can enjoy your fries in a setting that evokes old tram journeys—without ever leaving the platform!
A Truly Brussels-Style Spot
Just a stone’s throw from the Bois de la Cambre and the Boitsfort district, this tram-turned-fries-stand attracts both locals and weekend walkers. The place is as photogenic as it is welcoming: perfect for an unusual stop between strolls or a tasty evening break. On summer nights, the queue can even stretch along the length of the tram—a clear sign of its well-deserved success!
