    • User Rating  
  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    Le Bec-Fin is George Perrier's most well-known venture, serving haute French cuisine to locals and visitors, including celebrities who are sometimes sighted here.


  • NileGuide Expert tip:

    The gold standard for fine dining in Philadelphia. If you can't afford a full dinner here but want to say you went there anyway, try hanging out at the downstairs bar!

    Description:

    • Dining experiences worthy of Louis XVI consist of six-courses, prix fixe menu with a savory stream of dishes including a triple-tiered dessert cart containing over 40 freshly made selections. Since 1970 Le Bec-Fin has been acquiring regional and national accolades for their innovative cuisine and original French cuisine. The restaurant is consistently rated of five star quality by the Zagat Survey and named "The Best French Restaurant in America" by Esquire Magazine. Chef George Perrier's specialties—such as Cailles Farcies au Foie Gras et Ris de Veau, Le Bec-Fin and Eventail d'agneau et son chutney au curry de Madras—fill the menu.
