Amsterdam is easily a firm favourite when it comes to Maltese people’s holiday destinations, and we’re willing to bet that at least half of that is down to the food. Now, one of the city’s favourite snacks is coming to the island, just in time for summer.

Queen’s Chips tasty ‘paper-cone’ Dutch fries are coming to Malta!

This is not a drill. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Queen’s Chips is a relatively new franchise on the block, but their mastery of Amsterdam’s popular street food has helped them start cropping up all over the world.

Exclusively using fresh Dutch potatoes for their unique characteristics (such as compact texture, strong flavour, and the perfect consistency for frying), Queen’s Chips have a long list of varieties, from gluten-free and vegan to all-out, cheat meal level of indulgence. Add a long list of Belgian sauces to the mix – everything from the vegetarian-friendly Algerina and the spicy Andalusa to the pinkish, dry Samurai and the cheese-flavoured Cheezy Crazy sauces – and you’ve got yourself a winning recipe. Every. Single. Time.

From USA to Italy (where the franchise is actually the undisputed champion), Queen’s Chips have been steadily taking over the world. Back in Amsterdam, work churns on, only getting busier, and across all its outlets, over 17,000 kg worth of potatoes are peeled every day to bring these beauties to life!

The chips are twice fried (at different temperatures, no less) in high-quality sunflower oil. The result? Crispy golden chips that always manage to get you the perfect taste – and the perfect Instagram shot.

The delicious process in its entirety

It really is all in the name, but Queen’s Chips offer way more than their legendary Dutch fries. They’ve also recently introduced new items on their menu, such as the Magic Stick churros and their Cheese Balls, which are made from the finest quality Dutch Gouda. No wonder they’re steadily taking over the globe.

Now, the big brand will be opening in new locations; London, China, Slovakia… and Malta!

And of course, it’s opening in the heart of it all, in Wilga Street, Paceville.

To help us all celebrate in style, Queen’s Chips are giving away free cones of chips!
