Originally "Le Bec & Charlie's" but changed in 2020 to "Grand Comptoir Le Bec," This is Nicolas Le Bec dipping two toes in the world of Thai cuisine. It's not a full-on Thai restaurant, it is still predominantly French, but there are now prawn shao mai and a Thai chicken curry on the menu, and the outside terrace area is decorated to feel like a Thai beach club, complete with Thai mosquito spray. 80% of the menu remains the classic French bistro cooking that Le Bec has made his name for in Shanghai, and the interior feels like a gaudy French residence, with an aquarium and a glass window looking on to an aging room, where pigeons, chicken and beef hang on hooks. If you can’t snag an outside table at the original, then you can always walk down the block and try your luck here.
