Well, I’m late to the news, but am bummed to report that after 15 years, Les Halles has closed. No more steak and frites for me…or anyone else. Darn.
They officially shut their DC doors on Friday, November 14th, but you can still try their food in NYC and Miami. And if you’re going to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau on November 19th 20th, they’re scheduled to be open for that.
The reason for the shut down? The lease was set to expire.
Any ideas on who is going to take over?

How did I miss this as well?! Disappointing.

Wow. My partner and I were just there on the 8th. It was one of our favorite, reliable, pre-theatre dinner stops.
Steak au poivre, how I’ll miss you.

You can still score your steak frites fix at Brasserie Beck, Bistro du Coin, and Bistro Francais!

@DC Concierge: Yes, very true, but I still need a moment to grieve over the loss of Les Halles. So many good memories!

So sad. I loved the hot chocolate and was looking forward to it this winter!

We stumbled onto Les Halles on an anniversary and have enjoyed it tremendously every since. Au Revoir!
