Is the Brasserie Les Halles downtown any good? I am looking for basic French Bistro food for an early dinner Saturday night and their menu looked appropriate...

We stopped going to Les Halles several years ago because, although the food is o.k., I couldn’t stand the sardine can seating and the headache-inducing noise level, which meant having to shout in order to converse with...

Please give me your wine recommendations for Les Halles. I’m going to dinner and I need a rec to complement foie gras, mussels and steak, respectively. As there’s only two of us I’m especially interested in...

I’m looking for a similar restaurnant to the 29th/Park Les Halles bistro in Manhattan. Any recommendations?

I’ve always enjoyed Les Halles. It does get boisterouse and deafening but there are nights when that’s just what I’m looking for.

Has anyone been to the Park Ave. branch since the smoking ban has gone into effect? I read somewhere that there is a loophole for them (a separate room or “creative interpretation”)? I was really looking forward to...

I think that the food is very good at all three places, but I’d choose Gonzo, as I think that the seating for a group is a lot more comfortable. Les Halles, in particular, is very noisy and cramped.

we went to LES HALLES for lunch today. originally we wanted PARK BISTRO but it was closed and so that was the b-plan, but it of course it turned out just fine. i did walk past the DOSA HUTT on lex with a wistful stare, but it was...

I have no need to ever go to Wollensky Grill for a burger again. Les Halles does a wonderful job, and grounds the beef to order (which I swear makes a difference). Add-ons are limited (Swiss or Blue Cheese only) but was fine by...

I like Les Halles. Sure, it can be more like a zoo than a restaurant at times, but the food is always solid. It’s an unappologetically uncomplicated place that, despite its shortcomings (generally the service), I find...

If you’re looking for a quintessential Parisian foodie experience, look no further than Les Halles on Park Avenue. Everything from its exterior design to its joie de vivre and bistro menu will satisfy those hungering for a...

I’ve had a decent steak tartare at the “less downtown” branch of Les Halles (not sure they’re necessarily jointly owned?). Interestingly, the downtown branch is going to serve certain...

Just back from lunch at the new Les Halles Downtown (so new, in fact, that the “Le Marais 2” sign above the restaurant is still up). I always meant to eat at Le Marais 2 but never got around to it. But I am a huge fan...

I agree with you that $35 corkage is silly for a place like Les Halles. Frankly, I would choose Balthazar over Les Halles, and Balthazar has a pretty decent wine list (recent example, '99 Bernard Guy Cote Rotie, $75) and you...

I sampled chacroute garni, or as they listed it, chacroute royale at Les Halles last night and enjoyed it very much. The components that I recall were blood sausage, frankfurter, smoked bacon, ham hock, ham, salami, and there are...
