From the owner: Bodega franco-espagnole Petit restaurant franco-hispanique du quartier Arnaud-Bernard, à 5 minutes…read moreà pied de la Basilique Saint Sernin et 10 minutes à peine du Capitole, l'Esquinade est loin des clichés qui viennent à l'esprit quant on pense à l'Espagne. Ici, pas d'affiches de tauromachie épinglées sur les murs, pas de robes à pois, de castagnettes ou d'abanicos, ces éventails propres à l'Andalousie et ses airs de flamenco. Au contraire. L'Esquinade représente une Espagne actuelle, une jeunesse dynamique. L'ambiance qui y règne, sans être nécessairement cataloguée underground ou branchée, est simplement chaleureuse et festive... Plutôt "movida" que "corrida", à l'instar de Barcelone ou Madrid. Des couleurs vives, des plats copieux et de qualité. Typiques aussi, certes, surtout si l'on se réfère aux tapas ou à la fameuse Parillada, un assortiment de fruits de mer. Cependant, ici, on préfèrera toujours à la Sangria le Tinto de verano, un cocktail (fait maison) composé de vin rouge,

We decided to eat at Le Passage based on the Yelp reviews and were quite disappointed. The steak…read morewas very tough and my husband gave up on it after eating less than 1/3 and trying to chew something that was basically unchewable. We shared a salad that had no dressing that we discerned. I had the duck and it was good, despite the chimichurri lacking distinctive flavor. The servers were very attentive and wonderful, however that couldn't make up for the overall quality and flavors of the food. Giving this place a 3 primarily based on the service.

The chorizo board that everyone around us had looked even better! But I have to say, the 4€ Frites Maison (house made fries) were quite possibly the best French fries I have ever had. Amazing. We got them for the kids but ended up eating half of them ourselves! The ambiance is really nice and there is an outdoor seating area toward the back, too. Finally, the service was friendly and we felt like it was definitely a local's joint. There were no other tourists despite the place being packed on a Thursday night.

In fact I did this for a few months, and was pleased to finally find a bar this good on my doorstep. Laid back atmosphere, from the seating to the lighting to the clientelle, it's always quite full, but still chilled. It's table service, of course, and can sometimes be a little bit difficult to get served if you're English and want more than 1 drink every 2 hours. Or you can get into the French way of thinking...! Anyway - don't miss it if you're in Toulouse.
