About this spot

Tabora delivers crispy, golden frites that are far superior to any standard Belgian fryer, served with a choice of bold sauces like garlic aioli or spicy curry ketchup. The kitchen also prepares hearty meatballs and fried chicken that soak up the rich flavors without getting soggy. This Sainte-Catherine staple proves you don't need fancy ingredients to create an unforgettable street-food experience.

💡 Tips before you go

Order your fries with a side of house-made sauce rather than just ketchup for a more complex flavor profile.
Expect to wait in line, especially on weekends, but the turnover is fast enough that you won't be hungry long.
Save room for a belgian waffle or dessert if you plan to visit multiple spots along the Grand Place.
