I’m a lover of deep fried and breaded foods so I was a sucker for this place. I tried a few of the croquettes: beef and veal and a chicken beef sausage stick. All was pretty good. For 1.60 euro, it’s cheap and comforting. It’s also kind of fun sticking coins into a machine to pull out a croquette. I really loved the concept. Service here could have been better though, particularly with getting change. The machines only take exact change and their change machine was out of order. The girl at the front was able to change 5 euro bills into smaller change but not enough of it was exact for the machines. Overall, fun experience and would do again.

quick sustenance in between getting kushed-up at the café and getting tanked at the bar or… getting kushed-up at the café and getting sum lovin from the hookers. Whatever floats your boat. 2 Euros for a burger that comes outta a machine? Why the fuck not?

Fun and yummy on the run. A neato concept for the tourist on the go.

Sad to say this was the former location of a business called Soup Kitchen. It is now the new, bright and clean location of a Febo. The first time I ever tried Febo, I didn’t like it, now I am hooked. The first thing I have to introduce to anyone not familiar with Febo is that these are vending machines for fried foods and burgers. You put coins in to pull a door open and pull out your snack. One of the items in the Febo vending machines is a fries veal or beef mush, it’s like mash potatoes in texture, mushy. The taste of it isn’t bad at all but different, it’s no mash potatoes. That’s the reason I didn’t like it the first time. It might be an acquired texture of food. But the outside it a very crisp shell. And when the lady or gentleman making the food puts the food fresh behind the door, it is a freaking awesome fried food. What you get out of these Febo machines are: think mozzarella sticks and burgers. The burgers are soft and of decent quality for 2.20euros. The fried foods are 1.60euros. That’s a great snack deal in my opinion and three hits the spot just right, for me anyway. The Febos are manned behind a counter that serve fries and some location fried chicken sandwiches. Tip 1: Febo vending machines do not give change, I put in a 2.00euro coin for a 1.60euro stick of Rundvleeskroket or Kalfsvleeskroket and never got back my change, lesson learned the hard way. There are coin machines for change before inserting coins, duh Andrew. Tip 2: Once you open a door take it and run. I opened the door for one and the lady slid a fresh one on top of the shelf on the one I chose, I close the door without taking my snack to get the one she put in. My lost :[ No biggie, it’s just a 1.60euro snack, I’m just saying when the door opens take your snack because when it closes it locks until you put another 1.60 or 2.20 in, duh Andrew. There shall be no strike three.
