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.

    My fourth time at the restaurant beginning more than ten years ago. I found the execution of the dishes has lost its finesse. Crab rillettes a bit flavorless or at least underseasoned. Chicken paillard (a favorite dish) had a rubbery texture, and the accompanying olive-almond tapenade muddied rather than enlivened the dish. Frites had little color and were not the delightful indulgence I remembered.

    I didn’t realize that a 10 AM reservation was going to look a lot like entering a Walmart on Black Friday circa 2005 but at least I was guaranteed a seat. Just chaotic and stressful getting inside even with that many people coming in at one time.

    Opening at ten am created a very long line. Not great situation in bad weather. Maybe having 3 people checking people in might be helpful.

    We were not disappointed in this restaurant. Very friendly welcome, friendly and efficient service, good food and drink, and a lively and festive atmosphere in which we could also converse easily even with my mild hearing loss.

    Food is always great! Stars off for ambiance because there are good and bad tables locations and when you get a bad one it really detracts from the experience. Avoid the back room area closest to the servers area any time of year. Yesterday was very cold and we were near the door servers used to go in and out to people eating outside - it was a fairly constant stream of cold blasts of air. Too crowded to move to another table so we wore our coats.
