Frituur Den Halve Maan
Roeselare, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Den Halve Maan fries on the Botermarkt in the middle of Roeselare, and in Belgium that makes it a civic institution rather than a takeaway. The frituur is the country's most defended food tradition — beef fat, two fryings, a paper cone, sauces argued over with real conviction — and this is the one the town has settled on. Around €5 buys the full thing. Its position on the Botermarkt, Roeselare's central market square, means it catches everyone: the lunchtime trade, the shoppers, the late crowd afterwards. There is no dining room and no need for one. Locals treat it as the city's reference fritkot, which in West Flanders is not a small claim.
