$35 Dinner at Le Bec Fin!

So, I got an email from my close personal friend, Georges Perrier, today announcing his Spring 2009 three course Prix Fixe. This menu is the first of four seasonal three course menus, and the beginning of an exciting time at Le Bec-Fin and Bar Lyonnais. A little over a year ago, the famed French chef announced he was giving back his 5 stars in the Mobil Travel Guide and focusing on creating a new Le Bec Fin with a lighter a la carte menu and more casual atmosphere.

This $35 three course is certainly a marked departure from the Le Bec Fin of years past. Here's the dinner menu, available Monday through Friday:
