The story

Taverne du Passage, Brussels – Belgian Classic Cuisine in Art Deco Galeries

An Art Deco landmark in the Galeries de la Reine

Taverne du Passage occupies a place of pride in the prestigious Galeries de la Reine, housed in an exceptional Art Deco interior that has made it an iconic Brussels institution. The setting alone – elegant, with a bar and outdoor seating – draws locals and visitors alike, but it is the kitchen that secures its reputation. The restaurant’s cuisine celebrates Belgium’s gastronomic heritage while adding a touch of modernity, a balance that earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026.

A menu rooted in Belgian tradition

The menu changes seasonally, with a current Spring Menu and a regularly updated “Our Suggestions” list. Starters like maatjes herring salad with green beans and apple, or zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and parmesan, set the tone. Main courses stay true to the Belgian repertoire: pork cheeks confit in dark beer with bacon lardons and honey, or a crispy octopus tentacle with tomato compote and romesco sauce. For dessert, a red berry coupe with blackcurrant sorbet provides a clean finish. The wine list is curated to match, and vegetarian options are available throughout.

Taverne du Passage is a place where tradition and innovation combine for the pleasure of your taste buds – a genuine Brussels classic, recognised by Michelin.
