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.

    I always take my mom to Parc at the start and end of her yearly trip to Philly from LA. It’s a highlight for her. The food and French vibe along with the view of RH square always makes her smile. Thanks for making her feel special — the farewell cookies were lovely.

    The restaurant is very large and busy but they always accommodate you, serve promptly and the food is always hot and excellent. A wide ranging menu too. A real go to spot. We've been going for years and never had a bad meal.

    Lunch at Parc is always an exceptional experience. Our waiter was attentive and anticipated anything needed to make our dining experience a delight! Even added on 1 more profiterole so each of us ( 5 in all) could have one. Parc is the BEST!

    Date night at Parc and it was excellent! Food was on point and service was great. Food is reasonably priced, drinks are overpriced. The ambiance and decor are fantastic. As a frequent patron of old school New Orleans restaurants, this place fits in and doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend!
