Taverne du Passage

Nice spot located off of the passage. This seems to be quite the busy place. So expect your visit here to be a while. The server was very nice and accommodating. The food was good (but a little too heavy on the butter for me). I can still recommend it though.

Boooked for a special lunch, the restaurant is a classic! Lovely atmosphere, deicious food and effortless service. Generous portions and dining also with two children (not particularly fussy with food) was easy as they shared an adult portion. All was well cooked and full of flavour. Despite the escalope being slightly overcooked the rest were to the point. We only had mains, and frankly they were rather filling on their own. The mussels Mariniere were one of the best we have tried. Easy to communicate, both in English and of course French. We will be happy to visit again when we are back in Brussels.

This used to be a restaurant I came to often. In fact one of the first restaurants I visited when moving to Brussels. It’s stilll a restaurant with excellent food - but the service? Waitresses are super stressed - run around and miss details. Add more staff! Today I had to ask for sparkling water twice before it arrived. And after a very good lunch I asked for the dessert menu. 20 minutes later I have the menu but absolutely no one picking up my order. But the food was excellent. And now waitinc to be able to pay ……. Another marathon

The bone marrow starter was one of the most amazing dishes I’ve had. Steak tartar was delicious as well. Chicken with rooted vegetables and morel sauce was filling. The yule log was sweet, and crème brûlée was soft and not too sweet. Great service.

Price medium-high but overall good. They offer Belgian menu with few interesting proposals. food is good as well as service. I’ve asked for a changing due to food allergy and they were able to adjust with cooker. Staff is very kind and with fast service. Athmosphere relaxed in elegant environment. Inside of the gallery, very well perceived.

We had a wonderful evening at Taverne du Passage. My asparagus soup with foi grass was sublime as was my steak. Service was fabulous. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful dinner in Brussels. I was skeptical because its in the heart of the tourist area, but the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. The place was completely booked and a lot of locals were dinning here so I felt more like a local than a tourist. The decor was very elegant and clean. All the food was wonderful, the wine was very good and the service was great. They gave me an English menu which was very welcome. I would not hesitate to go back here again for dinner! Well worth the money!

A little hesitant knowing the location and landmark it is but honestly it was good food with great service. Went for the Belgian mussels marinière style with white wine and the vol au vent and it did not disappoint. Specially happy with the sweetbreads in my vol au vent and the fries were right on point

Service was impeccable & our lunch for five was memorable and delicious. The restaurant is just beautiful. We shared a perfect bottle of Belgian white wine. I tried to read, croquettes, which were softer than I expected & baked. My husbands rooster vol-a-vent was in a creamy mushroom sauce, light yet a wow with frites. Friends enjoyed their salmon & steak as well.

Ate here while visiting Bruges. Food was very good, service was friendly. Dining in Europe versus the States is always different as they don't have the same incentive to provide excellent service because they make more a livable wage and tips aren't as big of a deal because they aren't expected. We still always tip well (gotta represent ya know) and this place the service was pretty good.

This is one of the worst places I've ever eaten. Sandy mussels, basic fries, way overpriced. Avoid!

This restaurant was recommended by another that was closing. The crew looked a little tired when we got there at around 10:00 pm but they were great about helping us. We had soup and the Lobster Bisque, both very good. Service was a little rushed as the last of folks file out but we appreciated the good food and late service.

I have been going to this restaurant ever since I can remember, which must be around the age of five with my parents. There are hardly any classic restaurants around anymore, where waiters are dressed in the classic, almost navy like, white jacket and black pants. Most of these 'Hotel Du Parc' style restaurants have closed down, but Taverne du Passage is still going strong. Can't really go wrong with any of the dishes. All of them Belgian classics.

Came here my 2nd nite in Brussels. While I loved the ambiance I was disappointed with the food. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful but I found the traditional dishes to be quite bland. I tried a chicken dish that had some type of white gravy along with mashed potatoes. Potatoes seem to be a main staple in Belgium .... but I am not big fan of potatoes. The bread was served warm with cold butter and that is truly an unpleasantry in my book.

Amazing steaks, great simple but tasty food! This place is classy yet not overly stylish, which is a good thing. The filet steak with fries and vegetables was just right, along with a real nice pepper sauce.

Went here on a food tour in Brussels. I got a steak in pepper sauce which was pretty good and it came with fries (chips? I don't know what they are called in Brussels) the meal was pretty good and I definitely enjoyed it but I wasn't blown away by anything I had. Still a solid food option though.

A very traditional Belgian restaurant. The menu is mainly seafood, but they do have some meet option. Good food and service. Nice desserts also. Located inside the Gallery de la Reina. I has the white wine mussels they were large and meaty. A good sized portion. The sauce wasn't amazing...I've actually had better in NYC. The bread was delicious and fresh. I have had better fries. I really enjoyed the cheese croquettes as a starter

Service was slow for a Saturday evening. Meat was good as you can expect from a brasserie but nothing exceptional. In conclusion, it would be a good place if it was not overpriced!

Good for a late night meal -- they are open later than most of the Grand Place ringed restaurants (I was seated at 10.20pm and others came in later) -- on a Wednesday night almost everything else in Grand Place area was closing. The cheese croquette appetizer is quite good (and some Yelper has already helpfully taken a photo). I am just going to order two next time. Fries also good. This is a classic Belgian brasserie - I loved it. Afligem on tap. You expect Hemingway to walk in. This restaurant may not change your life, but the service is good and the atmosphere is authentic. Location is in the middle of Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. 2 minute walk from Grand Place - one or two blocks away.

Can't beat the location, in the middle of Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, a gorgeous light-filled promenade filled with specialty chocolate shops, milliners, fine clothing stores. Mahogany paneled and tiled interior, with a smattering of green leafy plants. Gorgeous. Practical seating with a long row of tables down the middle, booths, and single small tables. I had the moules au vin blanc and my boyfriend had the steak frites. Came steaming hot and portions were great. I got full before I could finish all my mussels.

This is a nice restaurant in the heart of the tourist district in Brussels. The food was above average on my single visit. I had the traditional Moules et frites (mussels and French fries) and Maes and Grimbergen beer and felt like I had had tasted a little bit of Brussels. The deserts were exceptional.

Nice, authentic restaurant with a classic Belgian menu. Friendly service, waiters in a fancy marine uniform, though somewhat slow or too busy. Recommendable.
