What did we have? Our starters were smoked eel, and a crustacean that was a "mini-lobster" (I don't know the correct word for it). Both were very good. The smoked eel was very similar to smoked salmon. Our main dishes were rabbit and steak. The rabbit's sauce was divine, and the meat perfectly done. My wife's steak was seasoned very well. Our dessert was a creme brule. We had creme brule 3 times on our trip, and this one was definitely the best of the 3. Lastly, we had the house red wine, which was excellent. Service was not exactly warm and friendly, but prompt and helpful. As others have noted, the menu is in French and Dutch, but the server translated everything for us.

In Bruges, this is one restaurant that's lasted many years. The dark mysterious De Passage is…read morewhere you can get re-fueled and re-hydrated after a train journey or a day spent tourist-ing around. The eatery gets perhaps a majority business from the adjacent hostel at same address. Sixtus 12 beer was very tasty. Moules (mussels) seemed more about quantity than quality. Generous portion but slightly disappointing in that the white mussels just didn't have as good a flavour as the orange ones. Could be seasonal. Moreover, the veggies cooked with the moules were all a bit tough. Perhaps meant only to flavour broth and not be eaten, but if so, shouldn't they be removed in the kitchen? Dinner was decent. Service was alright. De Passage definitely has de atmosphere. Tables are a little bit cramped on either side of the room and could use bussing and cleaning a little more often.

Very good value; next time I am in Bruges; I'll head to Passages for food for certain. Lodging is very cheap but is small and I was 3rd floor walk up. The walk up round 4 is a bit rough.

The service here was extremely friendly and attentive, offering us careful explanations of all their best dishes and accommodating all of our requests! The item to order if you don't know what to choose is the L'Assiette du Nord, a sampler plate which came with small square bowls of four of the Northern French specialties on the menu. The carbonnade was a sweet and savory stew made with tender chunks of beef and onions; the Welsh des Compagnons was a decadent dish of beer boiled with cheese, served over a slice of ham and a slice of bread (pain d'epices); the Pot'jevleesch was a cold terrine made with chunks of pork, chicken, and rabbit in a savory jelly; and the croquette de crevettes was a fritter made with a creamy batter mixed with little shrimps and served with a thick, creamy dip with herbs (almost like tzatziki). Every item on this plate was absolutely delicious, but I was a particular fan of the Welsh (great for spreading on more bread), the Pot'jevleesch (surprisingly flavorful yet refreshing), and the croquettes (the crispy exterior, the creamy, umami interior, and the cooling cream sauce went perfectly together). In addition to the sampler plate, I also ordered the Filet de Bar, or sea bass in a crispy parmesan crust, served over a tomato-onion compote in an iron plate. On the side also came a "bouillabaisse" in a tiny metal pot--this was a boiled soup made with seasonal summer vegetables including eggplant, zucchini, red onions, and tomatoes. This was a light and delicious seasonal dish, and the presentation and flavors of all the food here were extremely on point!

Very unpretentious and nice inside... outdoor you will find an open terrace with warm lighting and heaters for those winter days. It is a beautiful place. Having said that, the best part of this restaurant is the food... heart warming dishes, incredibly tasty bread, awesome wines and service couldn't get any better. Service here was friendly and very attentive. I usually heard of people in France being rude... but I could not disagree more. All of the people in this place were friendly... even other people at the restaurant with whom we talked for a bit and got a few recommendations as they are regulars here. We had a salmon tartare, raw tuna steak (very good), steak and fries and a lamb stew that was delicious all followed by a dessert that had a lot of things... I forgot the name but it was huge. Everything here was delicious. Prices are "very" reasonable. This place is a most visit when coming to Lille. Thumbs up.
