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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Parc shines as a French-inspired gem in Center City. With "excellent food, service & ambience," it's a favorite for many. The menu offers diverse choices, with highlights like "Duck L'Orange" and "steak frites." Though lively, the "Parisian bistro" vibe captivates. Consistency and "friendly, professional service" make each visit memorable.

    I love Parc, every time I come to Philly, Parc is on my list, however this go around wasn’t the same. The menu seemed different, less exciting entree options and some poor execution on a few things. The lobster in the lobster cocktail was extremely tough to chew, the tomato tart was slightly underwhelming, there was bits of burnt onion in the French onion soup, and the hanger steak had a funk. I know they come individually sealed and wet aged, this definitely sat too long in its own juices and probably should have been discarded. Our server was fantastic though and kept the experience enjoyable overall. I hope they dial things in.

    We attended PARC for a birthday dinner after returning from Paris and the food was comparable to our meals in France! Everything was delish, we got the Parisian ham, little neck clams, steak au poivre, and macaroni and cheese. The bread basket was award winning alone along with the small window to take home a baguette!

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Parc! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent—attentive and friendly. I had mentioned in the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and had a table preference, and it was so thoughtful that both were taken into account. They even congratulated us, which made the evening feel extra special. Highly recommend!

    Have always loved the Parc but was so disappointed today. Front desk staff were very nice. Unfortunately our waitress was sullen, didn’t smile. Took our beverage order and then virtually demanded we order breakfast straightaway. Our breakfast came, but our beverages were nowhere to be seen. Asked the man who delivered our breakfast where they were but was told it was not his job and he walked off. Had to go to the front desk to ask where our beverages were. They eventually arrived after that. Our breakfast was cold, we ordered poached eggs and they came hard poached, not runny at all. It just seemed there was a disconnect between staff, everybody had their own function, which resulted in a lack of customer care. By the way our waitress did not smile at all or was courteous. The only smile occurred when the check was bought to our table, presumably thinking about her tip!
