Saus on Union Street in Boston’s Financial District has been a city Belgian fry and craft beer institution since it opened, building a menu around the Belgian frites tradition — hand-cut potatoes fried twice in the European style and served with a rotating array of house-made dipping sauces — that earns a downtown Boston restaurant its destination reputation among a city that had never had access to genuinely great Belgian frites before Saus arrived. It appeared in Season 21, Episode 2 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Seriously Saucy,” which aired September 12, 2014. Guy Fieri found a Boston kitchen doing Belgian frites and creative house-made sauces with the quality and focused commitment that earns a single-concept restaurant its national food media reputation.

What to Eat
The Belgian Frites — hand-cut potatoes fried twice in the European tradition until golden outside and fluffy inside, served in a paper cone — are the signature and the reason the restaurant exists. The House-Made Dipping Sauces in rotating creative flavors are the element that earns Saus its episode title placement — the sauces are as important as the frites and the reason most regulars try as many as the table can hold. The Waffles in the Belgian street food tradition are the sweet option that expands Saus beyond the frites program. Find a Boston hotel on Trivago.
