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."

    Wonderful, again! Dinner this time and it was great! Best trout amandine I’ve had in many years! My dining partner devoured the Duck! We had Escargot and fresh oysters as appetizers, both were very good. The Aperol spritz is refreshing and has a punch to it! Such wonderful service and don’t miss out on the bread basket! Yum!!!!

    Always a go-to when I have friends visiting from out of town. The bread basket is the best, especially the cranberry walnut bread. Love the holiday decorations--so cozy!

    Our server Brandon made our experience exceptional. He provided us with food and drink recommendations and did not steer us wrong. Two of us at our table immensely enjoyed the Romarin specialty cocktail. Four of us shared three hors d’ouevres - the charcuterie, the mushroom tart and the crispy artichokes along with the beet salad. The serving sizes of each were perfect for the 4 of us to share. Our water glasses were continually refilled and the service was excellent. Two at our table had the Saturday special - poultry feuillete - an elevated chicken pot pie with mushrooms and black truffle oil. I sampled the special and the sauce was superb! I ordered the Moules Frites and another had the veal escalope. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, the atmosphere and didn’t feel rushed. The interior of the restaurant was decorated for the holidays and it was a warm, welcoming environment. We completed our meal by sharing the moelleux au chocolat - a warm chocolate cake with hazelnuts and praline sorbet…delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of the food and the inviting atmosphere.

    We have been to Parc many times over the years and it is one of our favorite restaurants in Philadelphia because the food is consistent and the service is great. But this time, we were really disappointed in the service and felt it did not match the level of the excellent food and ambience. Our server did not greet us for about 15 minutes, and when he did eventually come over to our table, he said only “you ready to order?” He hardly said two words to us the rest of our time in the restaurant. When I tried to ask a single question about the day’s special, he sighed in annoyance. This experience is hardly a deal breaker for me — I will be back to Parc and excited to go. But I am disappointed that this time, the service didn’t match the rest of the experience.
