Best French Restaurants in South Philly

Second time back for brunch, and Mabu keeps growing on me. Lovely intimate space, nice background music, wonderful menu, warm service, reasonable prices - what more could you ask for? I had the French omelet last time and the Croque Madame this time, both of which were terrific. The accompanying salad was also simple and tasty - a pleasant surprise when so many side salads at restaurants don't complement the food or add anything. The only downside is that I live in the suburbs - if i were closer, I would be eating there every week!

Our server Chris made the experience special - he was awesome! Food was really delicious and plentiful. It’s really a lovely space and a lot of fun being in the lobby of a busy hotel. We will return soon and are grateful for a very special Valentine dinner!

We enjoyed Parc on a cold, snowy evening in February. The restaurant was cozy and warm, and the feeling was too! Our server, Jose, was great - friendly and with just the right amount of check-ins. The beet salad was yummy, with lots of beets cooked to perfection and a great mix of flavors. We both enjoyed Trout Amandine - a large portion with a hearty helping of haricots verts. The cranberry walnut bread was also delicious! We will go back tomorrow to buy a loaf to take home! If only the glass of wine wasn’t so pricey. But who can have a meal like this without a glass of wine?

Overall, I had a great experience. This French bistro was lovely and the service was wonderful. The food was very good and the ambience/vibe was very pleasant and soothing.  I would definitely recommend and return. 

Great steak and salad, and very quiet with a great view of the city
