The menu had a good selection of traditional Belgian food which all tasted delicious. My favorite were the mussels for sure. SO many and for such an affordable price!

While there was no english menu, we noticed that the waitress kindly translated and explained nearly the entire menu to the table next to us.

Went here due to a recommendation by our hotel. While this place is certainly not cheap, our meal…read morewas excellent, and perhaps the best dinner of our week-long trip to Bruges & Paris. 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.

I found this as a Bib gourmand for our day trip to Bruges. They're only open for lunch, but they…read moreare actually open on Monday (when many other places are closed). They have a takeaway counter and also indoor seating, and we were able to make a same day reservation by phone. The place is not big but feels spacious - tables are spaced out with an open kitchen and counter seating. They have lots of nicer small touches like cutipol flatware and ritual hand wash / lotion in the bathroom. I liked that there is no English on their website (less for tourists), but all the staff spoke English, and they actually had an English version of the menu. They have a lot of cold and hot tapas style option, then a la carte entrees and dessert. To start: on the house - Breadsticks with a wonderful fish terrine - Potato with crème fraiche and salmon roe - Gambas fritti: 4 shrimp for €12 - pan fried with a light breading and a nice chili dipping sauce - Veal medallion with morels, peas, gratin: perfectly tender veal filet - a generous portion. The morels and peas are perfect for spring, and the potato gratin was down nicely - White asparagus: remarkably tender, 4 large pieces, served with Duvel mousseline (like hollandaise), mimosa eggs (chopped up hard boiled eggs with chives), and your choice of smoked salmon or Bayonne ham. The ham was great with this dish, and it was perfect for brunch / lunch It's a small staff, and they're super friendly and on top of things. The other diners seemed to be locals, which I like. It's located outside of the immediate city center but was a beautiful and easy 15 min walk from both the Bruges train station and city center.

Salad and pasta isn't gonna cut it for most folks :) We had 2 companions with us who really loved their white wine mussels. All our meals came served with frites, and the fish dishes with a small side of potatoes and carrots and bok choy. Nothing was super flavorful. And I didn't feel super satisfied afterwards. I love that they played classical music and the wait staff was really lovely and kind.

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 room was clean and quiet so I didn't mind it Some would hate it. Was great to go right up stairs to sleep after my awesome meal.

First day in town. Not a ton of Yelp reviews in the area. Read Regina W's review - and I agree!…read more We tried the mussels and fries with a beer too. There are about 8 different preparations for the mussels - so you'll find one you like. There is a prefix menu that is probably worth checking out. They have the mussels there as well. Our friend tried a fish dish off that menu and was pleased. We talked to the owner for a bit. Very friendly. Great place to enjoy a meal outside.

It's certainly a charming little place, and on a slightly drizzly day it was a very pleasant place to be in from the cold and rain. The Mosselen Natuur (plain steamed mussels) were big, meaty, well-cleaned, and tasty, but if you're not a shellfish fan, the Stoofpotje van Varkenswangetjes (pork cheek stew) is a great choice. Extremely tender pork cheek with minimal excess fat, and a lot of it, with a delicious red wine sauce plus much better fries than we'd had earlier on the main square made my night. I'd say that this was the best meal I had in our trip to Belgium, definitely one I'd repeat if we visit Bruges again!
