About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood 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.

    Four of us had made reservations for tables of 4-8 following a museum tour. When some of the tour goers decided not to come to lunch after all, the staff were incredibly accommodating. We appreciated the flexibility of both the hosts and the wait staff. As someone with a hearing loss, I do wish the restaurant wasn't quite so noisy, but the wonderful food and the outstanding service go a long way toward making the dining experience a good one.

    The food and service are consistently excellent time after time. The only issue we had is we were 1 table back from open double doors which allowed a strong, chilling breeze to come in and which worsened as the evening progressed. If it is going to be a cool evening after a warm day, ask to sit away from the open doors. We skipped dessert as a result of this. Definitely will return, with the above considered.

    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.
