Le Bar Lyonnaise Description:
Georges Perrier has reinvented his beloved Le Bec-Fin---to keep up with changing times and to give himself some breathing room. In so doing, he did away with the fixed-price-only dinner menus and set seating times that have been synonymous with Le Bec-Fin since it opened in 1970. Gentlemen no longer have to wear jackets---and even haute denim is just fine. Signature dishes (airy crab cake, poached salmon in olive oil, pork tenderloin with truffle mashed potatoes) remain (à la carte), and there is also a different menu of appetizers (endive salad to a tuna tartare with caviar) and entrées (pasta to côte de bœuf for two). The idea is that two can now dine for $100---although you can easily spend more. Master sommelier Christophe Tassan gently guides diners through the restaurant's impressive wine list which leans heavily towards the borders of France while acknowledging new-world and American options. Yes, the all-you-can-eat dessert cart remains, as does the cheese cart. And the gorgeous setting with its crystal chandeliers and tuxedoed staff still awaits.
