It’s elderly by restaurant standards, and the signs of age are there in Le Bec-Fin’s repeated attempts at hipness—still-high lower prices, à la carte menus, lighter French dishes, cautiously casual service. But this museum to fine dining is still an out-of-Philadelphia experience, and its greatest hits, from the hazelnut-butter-soaked escargots to the towering dessert cart, remain great.

Review
I was in LeBec-Fin for lunch on tuesday and was awesome! PhillyMag puts LeBec-Fin at #46, well, that's BULLSHIT! The best meal I've ever had, with great prices. As far as I'm concerned, Chef Georges Perrier still RULES!
