History

The restaurant gave the following history:

Chef Georges Perrier opened Le Bec-Fin in 1970; a small, thirty-five-seat restaurant at 1312 Spruce Street. With no waiting room, and increasing popularity, Le Bec-Fin moved to its current location on Walnut Street in 1983. Here, Chef Perrier was able to create a sumptuous, yet comfortable, setting. Using Louis XVI style, adding grand chandeliers, and a wine list with over four hundred carefully chosen wines, Le Bec-Fin offers an intimate and luxurious environment. Le Bec-Fin will spend 2010 celebrating its 40th year of success. The restaurant has grown tremendously, including opening sister restaurants Table 31, Mia, and Georges.
