We have started our Memorial Week-ends for many years with a dinner visit to Fritz and Frites, a delightful French-German Bistro conveniently located in Galena's downtown. When we came home after our Galena trip, I was not surprised to find that this restaurant already has a great rating on TripAdvisor. My husband and I adore the roasted half chicken because... More

My husband and I went here for lunch. The menu was small, but that probably made it easier to decide. I had the ham and guyere sandwich. My husband had the grilled salmon sandwich. Both were delicious, as were the frites that we substituted for the chips. The frites portion may have been a bit too large, as we both... More

My wife and I went here based on Trip Advisor ratings. We were pleasantly surprised! As has been said by many others, the food was well-prepared and the service was outstanding. They had a nice selection of wines by the glass, which was important to us, since I had hearty Sauerbraten and she had Sole. We had not planned on... More

So upon entering (mid afternoon) we noticed only a few tables were occupied. selected table 13 by the door and a friendly waiter explained all the specials of the day. I noticed a large selection of European beer bottles... More

This is a small & cozy German/French restaurant. We had a wonderful & delicious German meal with fantastic service. For the French, we had French wine. Great place to eat.

Arrived in Galena on a cold,rainy day, but the welcoming hospitality we received the minute we walked in to this restaurant, more than warmed us up! The food was superb and service outstanding. When we couldn't decide between two soups and finally ordered the onion, the waitress brought us a "taste" of the seafood chowder to try...and both were great!... More

We arrived late Friday evening after many detours...but the hospitality and food and service was excellent! We especially loved the service! The food was fantastic and the prices are affordable. A definite hit!

We only spent one full day in Galena, IL and decided we wanted to make the most of it, including eating at a fine restaurant. On the advice of locals from the Old Market House Welcome Center & the European chocolate store, we decided to eat at Fritz and Frites and glad we did. The ambiance is adorable and the... More

Once again, Fritz and Frites was one of the highlights of our annual trip to Galena. The Steak Frites is better than ever. The Wiener Schnitzel and Spaetzle is also quite tastey. The staff is efficient and very friendly and helpful with information about area attractions. The quaint bistro atmosphere is quite relaxing.
