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.

    This was our first time dining at Parc and we enjoyed it immensely. We were celebrating our anniversary and we enjoyed an intimate table tucked into a corner. The restaurant has a moderate noise level and with families and larger groups dining and celebrating together for the holidays our little corner was much appreciated for conversation and enjoying our meal together. We enjoyed the escargot for appetizer. Our server Richard was very pleasant and it was much appreciated that he offered for our steak au poivre to be split as we were sharing dishes between us. It was one of the best meals I have enjoyed and the moulleux de chocolate dessert was a highlight. Highly recommend and while we are looking to try other restaurants, my husband and I both agree that Parc is definitely a place we will be returning to.

    When food comes no one clears the plates from the first course. Music was very loud. Otherwise, food was very good.

    Excellent. Thank you for accommodating us at the window. I mentioned to my reservation that I have a hearing issue and it was so so so much better at the window away from the large sections. I also appreciate that the level of noise was much quieter. I just love your restaurant and I love the atmosphere it’s happy joyous and free. PS. The free is not a pun on words. lol. .

    Someone walked passed our table multiple times with a tablet - evaluating how far along we were in our meal. They should be more discrete - after the 3rd time we felt pressured to leave Also the $24 lobster cocktail provided a scant amount of lobster That said - overall experience at Parc was very good as usual
