THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Les Halles Restaurant Review:

This Gramercy Park restaurant captures the spirit of Paris far more successfully than most. Maybe it's the overlapping, worn posters, many of which announce past Les Halles events. Maybe it's the butcher counter up front that sells French-cut entrecôtes, boudins and andouillettes. Maybe it's the scarred wood tables. Or maybe it's the classic brasserie waitstaff making steak tartare at your table and brandishing bottles of inexpensive red wine around the dining room. Whatever it is, the formula works, and Les Halles wisely never changes. If there’s a heaven devoted to carnivores, this may be it---other dishes like the salads and fish can be good but overall the food is hit-or-miss. We recommend l’entrecote du boucher---a robust rib-eye steak, the short ribs braised with Alsatian beer and wine, and the house-made pâté.
