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."

    We were greeted upon our arrival by the host staff and were seated immediately despite the fact that we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. While a restaurant may not always be able to accommodate this, it was certainly appreciated. Our waitress Mary Kate promptly received us at the table. She was friendly, engaging, and delivered an excellent experience. The sommelier Robert did a wonderful job interacting with our table and helping us enjoy our wine selection. There were serval other staff members involved in serving our food and clearing our table throughout the meal who were also wonderful and attentive. In addition, a manager checked on our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal (which we were thanks to the incredible team at Parc!) The food was delicious! We enjoyed appetizers, entrees, and desserts… all of our orders were prepared perfectly! (There was also a member of our party with significant dietary restrictions, which the staff went above and beyond to accommodate) I was hosting this meal for work colleagues from out of town and they raved about the experience. I ensured them we will be back in the spring when they can open the windows and take in the lovely open air outdoor experience Parc offers during the warmer months of year. They’re already looking at dates for our next meeting!

    We had a wonderful lunch at Parc. It's perfect for celebrating a work occasion. There's something for everyone on the menu, and the food was executed perfectly. Our server, Danielle, was outstanding.

    A pleasant long lunch spent at Parc on a frigid Phildelphia afternoon. Alexa was a super server who was attentive and not intrusive, as I was there with a friend, catching up. Always consistent food. Best ambiance in town.

    Parc is an excellent member of the Starr Restaurant roster. A proper French bistro. Terrific service, great menu and beautiful location. Highly recommended.

    I’ve been to Parc dozens of times and have some very delicious meals there. Last night, we ordered the Mushroom Tart, which is a fabulous appetizer - it was delicious but was not hot when served. We also had the Beef Bourguignon, which was also very flavorful and tender…..but not hot. Having these top tier dishes served lukewarm is an issue, which I hope doesn’t become commonplace. We also had the Chicken Pot Pie, which looked amazing but fell short in every area…except it was the only hot dish. Very little chicken, very little vegetables, no crust - we were both very surprised it was a ‘Daily Special’ - you don’t want to order this dish.
