While there are already plans for a Le Bec Fin 2.0, Philly’s legendary restaurant finally closed its doors for good this past weekend after a drawn-out demise filled with more twists and turns than a soap opera. But it seems the legend of Le bec is not without one more twist. Old timers may remember that Le Bec Fin was first at 1312 Spruce Street, the space now occupied by Vetri. To add in a little bit more of six degrees of Georges Perrier , Marc Vetri got his start working in Perrier’s kitchen.
So in homage to his mentor, Vetri and general manager Jeff Benjamin are whipping up a little time travel. For 3 nights, July 18th – 20th, Le Bec Fin will be open once more in its original location with Perrier running the kitchen like old times. Check out the classics filled menu below.
