About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood 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.

    We asked to be seated outside since the weather was so nice, and the host was happily able to accommodate us. While we’re not regulars, Parc is our go-to spot for celebrations—birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or simply enjoying a meal together. The food and service were excellent as always. Parc continues to deliver top-notch customer service and consistent food preparation. Thank you for always being there for us!

    Ambiance was fine. Drinks took too long…arrived right after appetizers were served. Service was slow and inattentive…would have ordered more drinks but we were done with our entrees by then. Steak was cold along with cold fries. Obviously was sitting to long. Pasta had NO truffle flavor at all just butter and oil. No manager presence checking on tables and service. Overall bad experience for over $200 meal….

    Today was not the level of service we are used to having. The food was perfect as usual and so were the drinks… just used to more attentiveness. We had to ask the manager to bring us bread even after we asked our server for bread. We will still be back, but hope we get a different server.
