Le Passage - Lille

This place is nothing special but my wife's périgourd salad and my modules/ frites were ok but the cream seemed to be congealed or combined with flour? Service was prompt and ok. Server spoke French a little too fast for me- or was it the accent?

First visit was 6 months ago. No review but enjoy sitting outside looking at the walking crowd.dinner is good tonight. Reasonable price and taste is excellent.

Le passage is a restaurant for tourists that I had the unpleasant opportunity to visit. First of all, service is extremely slow. It took quite a while for me to get my dish and a great deal more to pay the bill. I had the moules frites and they were not that good. Poor quality and the sauce was not tasteful. Really disapponting, I don't recommend this restaurant.

Visited this brasserie on 14 January 2017.(Order) We ordered:(1) mussels in white wine and celery with chips (€9.90); and(2) duck breast with chips and salad (€15.60).The mussels were cheap compared to other shops in the area (although the portion appeared to be slightly smaller). The duck tasted fine.(Staff) We do not speak much French, so spoke in broken phrases, but the staff were friendly and helpful.

We ducked inside because our baby was asleep and it didn't look as crowded as everywhere else (which in hindsight should have been a warning sign!) but it was terrible. I ordered a steak bavette which turned out to be a piece of old shoe leather and my wife ordered a Belgium beef stew which came out barely warm and tasting like something that comes from a tin (which I'm pretty sure it did!). The fries were basically the same type of chips you get from a UK kebab shop and the timbleful of wine we each ordered was practically vinegar.All in all a bad bad meal from a place whose business plan is clearly to pull in tourists and serve them cheap overpriced food knowing that they'll never have to see or deal with them again. There are loads of great restaurants in Lille, many in close proximity of eac other, so my advice is if you come across this one then just keep walking!
