Les Halles

For dinner last night, we had we started off with an assortment of cheeses including emmentaler, cave-aged emmentaler, and mahon:



But the acclaimed favorite was a 3-year aged Gouda:



Then, we moved on to Asparagus & haricots verts salad (w/a simple lemon juice & olive oil vinaigrette and orange segments)



Palette de porc a la biere (with dijon mustard, cider vinegar and beer)



Gratin Dauphinois (w/cream and gruyere)



compliments of Tony Bourdain's bistro cookbook. We haven't made a meal from that cookbook that hasn't been incredibly tasty and this one was no exception. God bless the French!

Afterwards, we settled in for some nice conversation and some after-dinner liqueurs, scotch, port (pick your poison!)



Considering we didn't sit down for dinner until close to 10pm, it was truly a French evening, much like the bistro Gropius and I enjoyed in Montmartre when we arrived approximately 10:30pm and when we left at 12:30am, the place was STILL hopping!
