Les Halles

Pros: Good food, fun, friendly atmosphere
Cons: none

This past Saturday Night, July 14th, while still buzzing along in my Bastille Day mind set after writing and submitting my own little review and spending a great deal of time all day reading all the other interesting reviews written for that...

Pros: Great meat in general. Great frites.
Cons: small and can be very noisy

Les Halles is a French brasserie specializing in meat. They have a butcher counter in the front of the store where you can purchase the meat itself. This location is used to butcher and ship meat to their other locations (in Washington DC, Miami, and...

Pros: The best French Fries
Cons: loud, tight tables

Les Halles is a small brasserie in a business area of Manhattan. When you walk in, the first thing you see is a refrigerated display case filled with meat. Yes, this restaurant has a small butcher shop as well. The second thing that you will notice is...

Pros: Awesome French food and some great specials
Cons: You'll want to go there very often

I wish we had a Les Halles restuarant in Boston. It's one of my friend Steve's favorite places to go in New York. If we had one near my house or office, I'd be there a few times a month.

This past Wednesday, I had to be in New York on...

Pros: Better food than the average chain (think Olive Garden and you know what I mean) and <gasp> a smoking section
Cons: Overpriced; can be annoying if crowded; mediocre food

Les Halles (pronounced lay-AHL) was recommended by a coworker who felt they had authentic French food at reasonable prices. The prices were definitely not reasonable; I'll let you judge as to its authenticity after reading my review.

We made...

Pros: Excellent steak; competent service
Cons: Service will slow when restaurant is busy; drinks will cost you a fortune

My wife and I have been to Les Halles several times. Every experience has been very good, the food is consistent and well prepared. The service is competent but can be affected by a full house. The prices are on the expensive side, but please remember...

Pros: Great Steak
Cons: Very Cramped

I don't understand how the guy who owns Les Halles (pronounced-- Lay All, don't be silly and pronounce it Layz All to your friends or especially to the restaurant staff) has his own TV show on Food Network.
I can't remember his name even and he...

Pros: good steak, moderate prices
Cons: gets crowded

Les Halles is not a steak house - it is a French place, managed by French people, has a French atmosphere and a French menu. It is not a Haute Cuisine restaurant, but rather something between a bistro and a brasserie. We dine there often, both because it...

Pros: great food
Cons: bad services-noise induced

We walked in, a party of six with reservations, not really knowing what to expect since only one member of my party had been here before or read “the book”. We were promptly seated at a table that provided us with just enough room. We were surrounded by...

Pros: Having trouble with this one.
Cons: Jammed in, food is just ok.

This restaurant gets decent reviews, far better than I'd expect. If it was better at the inception, it's now unpleasant in that tables are crowded together. You feel on top of one another. Though I like the touch of having a butcher counter at the ...
