Phenomenal
Amazing book. Great, easy to follow recipes with Bourdain's trademark sarcasm and humor. As you read, you can basically hear him saying the words. Plus, it's an all around great group of French bistro recipes. The mousse and french onion soup are especially great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Les Halle's by Bourdain
Fantastic must have, easy to follow and fall in love with. Muscles recipe which is a go to for Sunday afternoons with a bottle of French white. If you love French food and Bourdain's gloves off approach to cook books this should be on your buy list. Also, try the Steak Frite Recipe. I've gifted this particular book on three separate occasions. Happy reading!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A tremendous reflection of his vision.
I lived near Les Halles in Manhattan and loved it. More than any other restaurant, Les Halles brought the feeling of dining in a French bistro with tight quarters, a butcher shop, and simple but amazing cuisine. I didn't know who Bourdain was at that time but you couldn't miss him. And this book offers a tremendous reflection of his vision.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
