Chocolate Rum Almond Cake
Crème Brûlée
On August 15th, Julia Child's birthday, Le Bec-Fin is offering a 3-course $60 prix fixe to celebrate. For wine pairing tack on $25. At 6:30 p.m., guests begin the night will canapés and flambéed Crêpes Suzette, and end it with a birthday cake. Call 215-567-1000 to reserve a spot during the week.
