Went to breakfast [uptown branch] a few days ago and had one of the worst dining experiences ever. Dining is actually too dignified a word for the experience. In a less than half full restaurant the service was lost in action....

haven’t been to bistro francais, but les halles food is solid. the atmosphere is loud. Link: http://dcfullest.livejournal.com

My initial reaction was sort of similar to yours. And then I realized that I didn’t really know what the OP meant by godforsaken... because it is a huge and confusing transit center to those unfamiliar with it, because the...

I haven’t been able to find too many opinions of Les Halles through the search process but my sense is that it is not a Chowhound favorite. While deciding on options for a New York City visit I considered Les Halles a must-stop...

Has anyone been to Les Halles recently? How much involvement does AB have with Les Halles since No Reservations not to mention his frequent guest spots on radio etc? Has anyone noticed a drop off (or, rise for that matter) in...

I have always wanted to dine at Les Halles and finally had the chance the other night. A longtime fan of Anthony Bourdain and his memoir, Kitchen Confidential, I was disappointed when I learned he had passed the executive chef...

last year we celebrated my bf’s b-day at les halles(park ave) and he really enjoyed it; specifically he enjoyed the different choices of steak(he loves bearnaise) and atmosphere. i’m seeking a restaurant similar in...

You are definitely not likely to see Chef Bourdain at Les Halles in either location. His name is still on the masthead, but his food is not what is coming out of the kitchen. I enjoy the food at the downtown location, but the...

I think the verdict is “not terrible” but you’re better off at any number of other bistros. The steak frites is good, but I wouldn’t call it “spectacular.” I don’t think Les Halles DC and...

As anyone eaten at the Les Halles in washington dc. I love simple french bistros. Any experiences would be greatly apperciated. Link: http://www.thegmanifesto.com Image: http://www.thegmanifesto.com

Big A.B. fan – No Reservations, and his books...going to Les Halles on Park next week and pretty excited about it. Anything on the menu that’s a can’t-miss? (Even though I know a lot of folks on here don’t...
