Why is your restaurant called « 140 Degrés »?
It's the secret of a true Belgian fry! The name 140 Degrés refers to the exact temperature of the first cooking bath for our fries. This first low-temperature cook is what makes the potato soft on the inside, before a second high-temperature bath gives it its unmistakable crispiness.
Do you serve real traditional Belgian fries?
Yes, absolutely. We honour the craft of the traditional Belgian fritkot (an authentic friterie or « baraque à frites »). Our potatoes are fresh, carefully selected, cut on site and cooked using the traditional double-fry method.
Are your fries cooked in beef fat or vegetable oil?
True to Belgian tradition, our authentic fries are cooked in beef dripping (blanc de bœuf). We use a unique double-cooking method for the perfect crunch:
First bath: the fries are first poached at low temperature (140°C) in beef fat, giving them their authentic taste and an incredibly soft centre.
Second bath: they are then seared at high temperature in quality vegetable oil for a final ultra-crispy, light and golden texture.

Are your meats and cooking fat Halal, and where do your products come from?
Absolutely. At 140 Degrés, quality and traceability are essential to us:
Halal certification: all of our meats, as well as our beef fat (blanc de bœuf), are Halal-certified.
Short supply chains: all our ingredients are selected with the greatest care and come from short supply chains to guarantee freshness and quality on your plate.
