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 at the door and seated with my reservation. Waiter came to explain their menu, daily specials, Prix Fixe offering, and wine selection. With that, started off with a bottle of Grand Cru Riesling, escargot, arugula salad, watermelon salad, mussels, and some frites. I had to try a little bit of everything since it was highly recommended. They also recommended placing the main meal 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 to enjoy each course. Was able to enjoy all the appetizers over a glass of wine. Both salads were very light and refreshing. The mussels were probably my favorite. They were served in a mix of the Basque sauce and the Marinieres. It was a nice mix for the wine, shallots, garlic with a little heat of the pepper, chili, and paprika. The escargot was a close 2nd as it was served in a very 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 had plenty of time to enjoy the appetizers with some wine. All were plated in an appealing manner. I can't say which was my favorite as all were really good. I had the lamb since there's limited options for lamb in San Antonio. It was cooked perfectly by being juicy and flavorful without the gamey taste. The lobster was nice large and meaty portions that were lightly breaded. 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 around the table. For desserts, had the crème brulee, Belgian waffle, and floating island. All were good portions to share. The crème brulee had nice, hard caramelized top with a light, fluffy custard below. The Belgian waffle was my favorite as it had a nice balance of the dough topped with the sweetness of chocolate, sugar, cream, and strawberries. The floating island was a delicious meringue served on top of custard sauce. This place was highly recommended and glad I listened. From the setting, service, food, and desserts, it was a great experience and I highly recommend to the next person.

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 I have 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 salad and 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 very flavorful for sure. My friends also enjoyed their food and had no complaints which is a good thing because they are very picky eaters. 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 to check 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 we didn't like was the dessert which was the chocolate mousse wish they had more options for dessert. We would definitely recommend this place to others and go back in the future 🙂

I came here during my lunch break. It was such a lovely experience. Tim was very polite. This panini (Ham and cheese) was the best I’ve ever had. So super delicious! I’ll be coming back to try more things out soon! Thank you again Tim!

My husband found this fantastic bistro for a date yesterday. He got the beef bourgignon which was very tasty. The pasta seemed fresh made and very thin. It was perfect. The veggies were perfectly cooked to leave some snap/crunch. I got the most amazing duck breast. I had no idea duck was supposed to taste so good. It wasn't gamey like I've had in the past. They cook it medium rare, but Alex, the maitre 'D, suggested I get it between medium rare and medium, which made it absolutely perfect for me. The texture and tenderness was like a filet mignon. And the raspberry reduction was a nice sweet compliment to the duck. I forgot to take a picture of the muscles and fries appetizer. We shared the white wine with cream and garlic muscles. It was so good. My husband got the beet salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. We're not sure if it was goat cheese on the salad, but if it was, it was the creamiest goat cheese we've ever had and delightfully subtle. I'm not sure if the chef forgot to toss the salad with any dressing or dress the beets with a balsamic reduction, but it was definitely better when Alex brought us the fresh and tasty creamy vinaigrette and balsamic reduction to put on the salad. For dessert we shared the raspberry marscapone which was so light and creamy. Have never had marscapone before, but this was a perfect finish to our meal. I forgot to take a picture of the dessert before we dug into it, so you'll see a few bites out of it. 😄 I took a picture of their wreath, because my daughter wants a wreath and she loves wine. She thought it would be hilarious if we were to put that on her front door.

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

I spent a lot of years traveling through Belgium. I enjoy the food in the French and German parts. We visited La Frite and stopped in for dinner. We made a reservation a few hours ahead of time. The restaurant does remind me of a place off of the square in Brussels. The interior had three sections. We felt like we were in Brussels. Very quaint and comfortable. The service was just the best. Everyone was attentive and asking us what we needed. We shared an appetizer of mussels and fries. Even the lady tried the mussels which surprised me. We had extra bread to dip into the cream wine sauce. The fries, were a bit floppy and dark. The mayo-herb sauce was really outstanding. We had a green salad and Caesars salad, both good. The lady had sliced duck which was cooked perfectly. The son had trout which had a nice soft crust. I was going to get coco vin, but for some reason, had the curry lamp shank. It was good but didn't seem to go with the rest of the Euro-vibe. We shared an apple pear tart - not to sweet and delicious. We had a great time and will be back the next time we visit San Antonio.

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 by blasting Windex on the wooden table (which, Windex?) and hit our food. Even if he hadn't hit our food, we were smelling Windex for the next few minutes, which is not appetizing at all. That ruined the meal for my girlfriend, because of course it did. I think 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 with guests around?!

If i could eat the whole menu I would. Everything is delicious!!

This place is still open in the south towns of San Antonio. Great Belgian cuisine! Duck, lobster and lamb cooked to perfection. The veggies were done very well aswell. The garden salad has a very earthy taste that I enjoyed but my wife was hopeful for more.

The service was solicitous, and the food was delicious! My salad, salmon, and dessert were fresh and flavorful.

One of, if not, my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. I may be a bit biased because my wife and I visited some friends in Belgium a few years ago and fell in love with the bier and food. Every time we go here it reminds us of our trip. Whether you’ve been to Belgium or not, this place is excellent. The Mussels (Bavarian w/bleu cheese…Pesto…), frites, beer, and other food has always been top notch. We have had exceptional service at La Frite and I will never forget the time we came here for our anniversary a few years ago without a reservation. This place is small, cozy, warm and inviting. We walked in and the wait was pretty long and it was not looking like we were going to be able to enjoy our anniversary here. We mentioned it to the person taking our name. They could have told us, “I’m sorry, but make a reservation next time”, which would have been an understandable and expected response. Did they say that? No they pointed to a small area at the end of the bar/register area and said we could make a table for you here if you don’t mind sitting here. We happily accepted and had a wonderful anniversary. We now make a reservation any time we go!

Love love this little local gem! Went with my mother, sister and daughter. This was not our first visit as we’ve dined here before. We all had the salad verte-it was fresh and delicious. My sister and daughter both ordered the salmon. It was generous and well seasoned. My mom and I had the steak au poivre’. This is probably one of my favorite steaks! The food was great. The management welcoming. The service friendly and helpful. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner. I’d encourage you to make a reservation as it’s a smallish place and usually busy. Also-parking is very limited so give yourself time when heading down there.

I’ve been here twice and the food and service was excellent both times. The champagne recommended by the waiter was really good. I had the duck breast the first time and beef bourguignon the second time. The mussel dishes are good. My friend had fried lobster and it was yummy.

I'm so happy we came across this Belgium bistro. We stopped by since the reviews were very high and we understand why. The food was delicious. I ordered a savory crepe while my wife had the mussels. Both dishes were flavorful and tasty. You also have to try the fries and dipping sauces. The service was one of the best we experienced on our trip. The waiters are knowledgeable and helpful. Our water glasses were always topped off and the staff even offered bread to soak up the amazing sauce. Overall, a great restaurant worth checking out!

We chose La Frite Belgian Bistro because of the menu options & reviews, it did not disappoint!! Good service & great food. I noticed their Blue Plate Award on the wall and restaurant inspection score of 99, always good signs! Will be back!

Simply love this place! Went for a private party and the service couldn't have been better. I'm thinking of having my birthday here when the time comes.

My absolute favorite restaurant in all of San Antonio. The owner is very nice and the food is always amazing! The escargot is out of this world and their wine selection is unmatched. The only reason I'm no longer a regular is because I've moved out of state. I'll be visiting La Frite Belgian every time I'm in San Antonio.

Quality food with friendly staff. I love their large list of wines and the chocolate mousse was simply delectable.

What a treat! Everything, from the dishes (trout and lemon chicken) to deserts (chocolate tart, chocolate mousse) to dark beer to coffee was finger-licking good.

I've dined at La Frite multiple times over the past many years and the food and service is always on point.

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 me feel as if I'm back in Europe.

Fantastic dinner! The server (Alex) was very friendly and helpful! The menu is fairly small, but has a good variety between heavy meals, and lighter dishes. And the food... absolutely amazing! The Steak Diane was terrific, and my wife had the Crepes Au Crab, and both were truly great. We caped it with the Chocolate Mousse, and it was a perfect dessert to close out on. And finally, the prices are well below what you would expect. About the same as a date night at Outback, or Olive Garden, but with good food!

Absolutely wonderful and very busy but you can have some French wine and enjoy your wait. The mussels are a Yes! The Fromage, as well as the Duck. I can't wait to go back!

very lively restaurant, the manager was extremely attentive and helpful. the mussels are amazing, i would recommend the mariniere over the provencale broth. we also had the steak au poivre and onglet avec frites...... i recommend the onglet.....oh my goodness so flavorful. a great restaurant and we will come back when we are in san antonio again. a little on the pricey side to make a regular visit if we were living in the city

Just an all-around GREAT place to have a wonderful meal and be served by top-shelf staff. Nothing stuffy or affected about this place at all...just delicious food, awesome Belgian beers...on DRAFT too...and great times await! Go here and not some pretentious cafe/bistro/trattoria run by a faceless mega corp. or some trendy chef with only a first name who named the resto 'beet-root' or 'the foam kollectiv'.

Food was amazing, mussels, ham and cheese crepe, fritze with real curry sauce!!!!! It took me back to Brussels 😍🥰. Staff was amazing as well.

The food is absolutely amazing!!! We will be going back again tomorrow!! I want to try it all and the service was awesome too!! Definitely stop here, you won't be disappointed! And the best fries I've ever had!!
