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.

    Always a wonderful meal at Parc, and our server was just lovely. But the noise level makes conversation near impossible, creating an unpleasant experience. I remember the back room being better and will ask for it next time.

    First of all, our special table was waiting for us when we arrived. They sat us right away and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable in terms of the menu choices. The waiter was extremely attentive and really handled our entire meal expertly. Food, as always, was excellent, including a wonderful spaghetti bolanase. Great coffee (LaColumbe, of course) made the perfect ending to our meal.

    I took my daughter out for a quick lunch during our shopping trip. We both had a great meal. I ordered the moullles frites and she had the oysters and frites. I had a delicious glass of Reisling and we shared chocolate cake. I definitely recommend this spot especially when the weather is nice as they will have a bunch of the windows/doors open so you can enjoy the day.

    Parc never disappoints. A little bit of Paris on Rittenhouse Square. Everyone seems to be having a great time. It’s contagious. Get there while the park is in bloom, a great way to celebrate Spring.
