About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Charming
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.

    It was our first time dining at Parc. We had a 10:45am reservation and was seated promptly. The atmosphere was energetic and bustling. Our server came to our table shortly afterwards but did not greet us and immediately asked for our order. We got our food in a timely manner but our server did not come back until after we had finished eating. She had also forgotten an item we ordered but it was too late because she already had the bill, with the forgotten item. While the service was subpar we will definitely dine at Parc again.

    Last night I ate the best version of my favorite dish - Confit de Canard - that I have evereverEVER eaten. Absolute perfection! Merci beaucoup for the most heart-warming Bon Voyage Dinner for our 98 yr old mother, who must leave her beloved Philly where she’s lived her entire life. Parc has been her favorite restaurant since it opened in 2008. Exquisite food and top-notch service always!

    Service was great. Food was pretty good but portions were small. It was a little loud but not terrible.

    Absolutely wonderful lunch! The food and service were excellent, and we enjoyed our window table with a view of the comings and goings to Rittenhouse Square.

    Tuesday night at the Parc and it was packed!! Glad we had a reservation. As usual they honored our reservation right on time and gave us a great table with server Ryan F. Wonderful service!! Good suggestions, friendly and fun! Cocktails, wine, dinners, desserts, and tea. Great ambiance. Fun to see everyone having a good time at the other tables. Expensive but also exclusive and worth it. We will be back!

    Quite simply, it is one of the best restaurants in the City. The food is amazing, the service is top-notch, and the wine and cocktail list is large and sophisticated. It's as if they lifted a bistro out of Paris and dropped it on 18th Street. If you visit, be certain to stop here, you won't be disappointed. It's even better in the warmer weather, as you can be seated at tables outside facing Rittenhouse Square.

    I love Parc and look forward to going there. I will say that the Chicken Paillard, which I was really looking forward to, was not as good as the past times I have had it. It was sitting in quite a lot of oil, and the salad which I normally love was super salty for some reason. This had become my favorite dish at Parc but something was a little off. Otherwise, love Parc and of course will return again.
