Not super busy &#8211; but good food and good service. And for Manhattan, very reasonable in price. It was actually really nice to sit at a table and have a little room (Note: all the new hip places have tiny stools at long bars with 1&#8243; in between them &#8212; so most times the guy\/gal next you is actually sitting on you!)<\/p>\n<p>I started with a grilled vegetable and goat cheese terrine served with a simple salad vinaigrette &#8211; very tasty. For my entree I had the Portugues Mussels Frites. It was a huge portion of\u00a0steamed mussels with garlic, cilantro, chorizo and tomate with\u00a0perfectly salted crisp fries on the side. Lunch was just under $30. A deal by NY standards.<\/p>\n<p>I interveiwed Anthony Bordain a few years back and he is just as cool in person as he is on TV. I personally love his tell-it -like-it-is style. He is a smart guy and very well spoken. His certainly can tell a great story &#8211; be it print, or on air.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t read his book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nasty-Bits-Collected-Varietal-Usable\/dp\/1596913606\">Nasty Bits<\/a> it&#8217;s a great read. And if your visiting Les Halles &#8211; pick up a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leshalles.net\/cookbook.php\">Les Halles Cookbook<\/a>.
