| - Located in a small shop on Baldwin Street the place is long and narrow with the kitchen and counter in the back. Along the long wall just inside the door runs a small counter for anyone wanting to eat inside. Behind the counter in the back, hanging from the ceiling is a menu split into two sections, one detailing the french fry options with the other offering a selection of possible sauces and dips. Everything is styled in that popular hipster manner emphasizing funky fonts and style.
The thick cut fries which are more Canadian than Belgian in style, are served in a cone that has a smaller cone on top for the sauces or dips. While lots of places in Toronto have tried to serve Belgian fries, over the years we only found one place that made fries in the Belgian manner. Years ago a fish and chip place on Augusta called Somethin's Fishy served the best Belgian fries we ever had. They were thin, crispy and dressed with a mixture of parsley, salt and garlic. Sadly, the place didn't last to young after the woman who ran it sold it to the guy who opened Fresco's.
One dip comes with every size of fries. We opted for the curry ketchup, hoping for the curry sauce we fell in love with while in Amsterdam, but found the curry ketchup instead a tomato based ketchup with a hint of curry. While the sauce was a little disappointing the fries were delicious and everything one wants in french fries, crisp, browned and yummy.
