Reviews Summary
Les Halles Centrales is praised as a modern, vibrant food court offering an impressive array of international cuisines and a lively atmosphere, often with live music. While many enjoy the diverse options and convenient central location, some find the prices to be on the higher side for a food court setting.
"Premium foodcourt~~ we dont know where to eat somewhere in mid afternoon after lunch hours so they are still operating and we had lunch there.. there’s a number of choice and we felt like having asian food something soupy and just nice there’s a stall selling beef pho and what a surprise taste so good and different than the asian and original viet ones in hanoi.. the white nood cooked to al dente and had a different texture more firm than the usual asian more soft ones.. tottaly warmth the stomach and we slurp the soup away. We had also beer and desserts from the pastries stall. Overll good to give a chance and have lunch there to explore diff choices"
The Chopsticks
"The environment atmosphere is really simple yet modern.
Gathering different cuisine under 1 roof is a new dining experience for French but not in Asia.
In Asia we call these Food Court a place where everyone can taste everything at 1 seating.
Here the price of food is Expensive for local and the variety is not expensive ingredient.
Truly Expensive and only for convenient as its a tourist center.
Toilet is clean but no baby changing area."
