Serves meat, vegan options available. A fries-shop/snackbar that uses only plant based oils (sunflower, rapeseed or palm). Accommodates vegans with their requests. As of May 2016 you can order kroket (croquette), bitterballen and bami schijf (bio/organic), all from the Dutch company The Vegetarian Butcher. Ask for the vegan version (instead of the regular ones). Serves large portions of fries. View on the Waterpoort (miniature version of Arc de Triomphe). Open Tue-Fri 11:00am-2:00pm, Tue-Thu 5:00pm-11:00pm, Fri 5:00pm-12:00am, Sat-Sun 12:00am-2:00am, Sat 4:00pm-12:00am, Sun 4:00pm-11:00pm. Closed Mon.

Mmm, vegan snacks! - Edit
I'm not too crazy about fries but I absolutely love the snacks! Vegan spring rolls, 'bitterballen', 'bamischijf', ... the owner knows which snacks are vegan and which ones aren't. Their fries aren't always the best, but those vegan snacks make up for it! Too bad they don't have vegan mayonaise.
Pros: Vegan snacks!
Cons: Mediocre fries sometimes, No vegan mayo

Orders vegan snacks to accomodate local vegans :) - Edit
Fries-shops or snackbars ('frituur' in Flamish) are famous and can be found all around the country. Unfortunately the options for vegans are very limited (to non existent) and fries are mostly fried in animal fats (unlike the fries in The Netherlands). Lucky vegetarians and vegans that Frituur Ellen fries in plant based oils and even ordered vegan snacks to accommodate the vegan community of Antwerp.
If you're out, looking for the famous 'kroket', definitely try the vegan version here! Accompanied by an enormous portion of fries and a view on the 'Waterpoort' you'll leave full and satisfied for sure! :)
Let's support Ellen so in the future more vegan snacks will find their way to Antwerp! (Current snacks are from The Vegetarian Butcher (De Vegetarische Slager in Dutch))
FOR TOURISTS: Frituur Ellen is a bit outside the city center, but get on a city bike (Velo) and get here local-style!
