This drivable snackbar on the Dappermarket has one of the best French fries of Amsterdam (won a prize for the best of Amsterdam and 7th place in Holland). Definitely looks a bit crappy but their fresh made French fries and their delicious spicy mayo make you think your in heaven! So.. ask for their spicy mayo or half normal mayo/half spicy mayo
