The Bottom Line

il Passaggio is a Mediterranean restaurant in Jumeirah that seems especially appealing for breakfast, relaxed family meals and casual catch-ups. The weekend breakfast packages are a major draw: customers mention shakshuka, Turkish eggs, baked eggs and a 68 AED combination of a main, three smaller dishes, juice and coffee. A small play area adds a practical family touch.

The broader menu leans Italian and Mediterranean, with reviews praising the carpaccio and tartare on bread, risotto, arancini, crispy calamari and freshly made pastries. The restaurant makes bread, pizza bases, pasta and desserts in-house, and some diners enjoyed seeing the chefs work through the glass kitchen. Croissants and the bread basket are useful picks if you are stopping in for coffee or a lighter bite.

The setting is another reason to consider it, with indoor and outdoor seating and reviews mentioning waterfront, fountain and Atlantis views. Service is inconsistent: several customers found staff attentive, but one reported waiting 10 minutes for the menu and up to 30 minutes to place an order. Give yourself time, particularly at busier meals.

Pizza and desserts also receive mixed feedback, and one review found the coffee too acidic.
