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." Reservations are accepted for indoor and outdoor tables.

    we celebrated our 30th Anniversary at Parc yesterday. Everything was absolutely perfect. It turned out to be a lovely day and we sat by the open windows. Our waiter Michael was wonderful and very attentive. He made the night super. The food was amazing, Escargot was to die for. I had the duck and fig dinner and my husband totally enjoyed the veal. We splurged off the fries because we are both attics for good French fries. They surprised us with a chocolate dessert that wished us a Happy 30th Anniversary scrolled beautifully on the board it was presented on. Go there and enjoy this amazing restaurant you won't be sorry.

    We had a variety of starters and entrees. Crab/avocado salad and warm shrimp salad were both very tasty. Steak frites and moules frites were also good, with the frites especially good. Paired a muscadet, an unusual wine for me, with the moules and they seemed a great match at a reasonable price. Waiter Talbert was terrific. I would request him in the future. The restaurant was very, very noisy. It was difficult to have a conversation. I would request outdoor seating next time.

    Fabulous breakfast. It was a cold wet morning and I’m not going to lie I would have ordered a French onion soup for breakfast if it was on the menu!!! A lot of egg dishes. We enjoyed it all. Some of the dishes had potatoes although not listed. That would have changed my mind sooner if I knew which or all dishes had potatoes. I guess all the egg dishes? Anyways we all cleared our plates including the French toast for the table. Wonderful!

    My husband and I went for lunch and have been to Parc on several occasions and has generally been one of our favorite places to dine. This time, however, we did not have a good experience. The meal was expensive, two glasses of Chardonnay totaling the price of an entree. I ordered quiche Lorraine, it was good but not great, looking like it had been made earlier that day and just warmed. My husband ordered the steak frites, and was disappointed by the smaller portion, different when ordered previous times. We paid our bill and after looking at the receipt on the car ride home, I noticed a charge for 4 coffees, totaling over $20, that was added to our already expensive bill. I called and spoke with Justin, a manager at the Parc restaurant. Showing no sympathy or apology, he charged my credit card the correct price, to my dismay, now that’s over $200 plus dollars and said, “In real time , this charge will fall off your account within 3-5 business days!” We will not be back to this restaurant

    Generally, I like this restaurant, but the prices are ridiculous and I'm not sure if I will keep going for that reason alone. My guest and I each got the warm shrimp salad. It was delicious. But for $27 per salad, I was surprised to only get 4 medium sized shrimp, and even the greens portion was mounded only in the middle of a large plate, with perhaps 1/3 of an avocado on the side and a slice of gourmet cheese on the top. We got two salads, a tea and latte and the bill was $78 - for lunch with no alcohol!! Very hard to justify that kind of pricing.

    Always reliable Parc, always open for late night dining. As always, good service. The recently introduced fried artichoke (aka carciofi all giudea) was an outstanding example of the dish. Must get two the next time. The disappointment was with the pricey lobster dish -- a special so one expected extra attention to prep. Lobster steamed, removed from shell, then reheated with garlic butter etc. The problem was that the lobster tasted as if it had been cooked hours or days before then left to sit in liquid -- to leach out any lobster flavor and leave a mushy texture. Also missing knuckle meat (into the bisque?). Very disappointing and the only time we have encountered a bad dish here. But will definitely avoid it in the future.

    Delicious as always. Bread is fresh and amazing. Service is attentive. Tuna carpaccio, which I've had multiple times before, was a bit too salty, but it was large salt crystals so I just scraped them off. I finally got to try the lobster risotto! We'd only been here on a Wednesday once before because it's difficult with our schedules, and they were out of it that time. It's a rotating special only on Wednesdays. It was delicious. I asked to buy a loaf of the amazing cranberry walnut bread to go, and they gave it to us for free as an apology for not being able to get the risotto last time. Also had the creme brulee which was great.
