About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
Stephen Starr's stylish addition to Rittenhouse Square pays tribute to French cafe culture, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, ideal for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Parc recalls the chic brasseries of Paris, serving classic French fare in a charming space. Red leather banquettes topped with frosted glass provide a sense of intimacy. Details such as well-worn wooden chairs, vintage framed paintings and photos and antique brass fixtures transport guests across the Atlantic. French doors spill onto a sidewalk terrace covered by a dark red awning perfect for dining "en plein air."

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Hagar

From the OpenTable editors: Travel to Belle Epoque Paris at this beloved Rittenhouse Square French bistro from famed restaurateur Stephen Starr. You'll find all the regular charming markers: globe lights, cozy red-leather booths, and windows that look out on the street. The next-level bistro fare like onion soup gratinée and steak frites along with a glass from the comprehensive wine list will make you want to linger.

    Parc has never disappointed, we make a rez every time we're in Philly. Couldn't ask for better service, our server was kind, competent and funny. The place runs like a well oiled machine. Every dish was delivered to the right person, and all the food was great! We shared mushroom soup and they kindly split it in the kitchen into two bowls and plenty in each, much appreciated. And the bread with the cranberry and nuts was so good we bought a boule to bring home. The eggs Benedict and the Norwegian Benedict were excellent. The English muffin was fresh and easy to cut, eggs sitting up high and done perfectly, great hollandaise. OJ and cappuccino perfect. We will be back next time we're in Philly, wish we could have stayed for dinner too.

    Parc brunch was simply wonderful. Went for the first time as my daughter was moving out of Philadelphia. I needed to change the time of the reservation - no availability on OpenTable - but one email to Parc and they accommodated us. The food was simply outstanding - not a bad appetizer or entree. Just delish. Ambiance lovely. It was a rainy day so outdoor seating was limited making interior noice a bit much. That is my only nit pick. Wait staff was great. I'll be back when I am in philly again.

    Always a wonderful meal at Parc, and our server was just lovely. But the noise level makes conversation near impossible, creating an unpleasant experience. I remember the back room being better and will ask for it next time.

    First of all, our special table was waiting for us when we arrived. They sat us right away and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable in terms of the menu choices. The waiter was extremely attentive and really handled our entire meal expertly. Food, as always, was excellent, including a wonderful spaghetti bolanase. Great coffee (LaColumbe, of course) made the perfect ending to our meal.
