French Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Great food, music, and service!“

“It was an unforgettable dinner. The moment I stepped inside, I felt as if I had been invited to a close friend’s or family member’s home for a warm, intimate meal. The space is small, cozy, and wonderfully personal. The two chefs prepared and served each course with perfect timing, offering fresh, beautifully crafted dishes one after another without a single moment of dullness.

It was a joy not only to taste the food but also to watch the careful, thoughtful preparation behind every plate. The flavors were excellent, the progression of courses felt seamless, and I left with that perfect feeling of satisfied fullness.

There is no doubt that this restaurant fully deserves its Michelin one-star rating. A truly memorable dining experience.

The only thing I found disappointing was that, although I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when making the reservation, nothing was acknowledged at all. The staff’s prepared guests’ birthday cakes, special party hats, cards and even a moment where the lights were turned off so everyone in the room could celebrate together. In contrast, our table didn’t receive even a simple mention of our anniversary.“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“The lemon chicken tagine is to die for, and the macaroons are so delightful and flavorful. Soufiane catered for a small gathering and the food, presentation and service was excellent. I can't wait to visit the Cafe in person! Congratulations on your opening!!“

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.“

“When I saw this was an exceptional dining experience, I mean it. The food, the ambience, the staff was beyond reproach. Inventive, fun dishes executed with pride and attention to detail. I hope that you go, because this place deserves the love and attention.“

“Excellent meal! I had duck confit, that was fantastic! From the happy hour at the bar to the birthday dinner at a table, the meal was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Loved this first experience at Bistro Perrier. I'm a die-hard meat-lover, but the monkfish was my hands down favorite on their holiday buffet. The food was wonderful... loved the buffet style so we could try everything. The staff/students were professional and made the night super special. Loved their bite-sized desserts... everything was wonderful!“

“Walking into a small dimly lit dining room with around 10 tables all conversing in their own way givea you that hygge feeling that an intimate dinner with friends is the forte here. One server seemed elegantly handle all tables and greeted us upon entering.

Mabu is a great BYOB option with fresh influence, we enjoyed the beet citrus salad and brussel sprouts, both bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed the beef bougionion which was a heavy flavorful dish great for a cold evening. Portions were great. Service and food were both punctual. Would be back for sure, perhaps if they could add a few more veg options is my only critique. Highly recommend!“

“My first French cuisine experience did not disappoint. My son and I enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails orchestrated by the best staff - Chef Clay, Beau (our server), and Alex(Bartender). From the first course I knew this was going to be one of, if not the best, dining experiences thus far in my lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to enjoy this fine dining establishment. You will not be disappointed.“

“I recommend everything! 5 stars“

“I stopped in here for dinner and some beer because I love French food and Belgian beer. The place did not disappoint. The atmosphere is lovely with really fun, decorations, all through the bar and in the restrooms. I had the escargot and a side of hericots verts (green beans) which were absolutely delicious. The bartender Ellen was lovely. Highly recommend this place for the food and drink selection and service.“

“beignets, almond croissants, plain croissants. cash only“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“Beautiful lounge with cool vibe!!“

“Side door entrance up a flight of stairs to a super chill wine bar that sits above its parent The Good King Tavern. Enthusiastic bartenders with solid recommendations. The only negative for this being a wine bar is, despite the rather robust wine bottle list, the selection of wine by the glass is limiting. Just 7 total.“

“We had a party recently and very impressed with service, food and music. All the staff was great and friendly. The food was delicious. Thank you everybody who made our anniversary so special. Highly recommended.“

“We had a mixed box of Brownies from Sonia over the weekend and they were amazing. Would definitely recommend you try them if you haven’t already. I’m sure we will be placing another order very soon. We had the Double Chocolate, the Nutella and the Caramel flavours. Yummy. Thank you Sonia“

“Vintage is always my first stop for a glass (or three - ha!) of wine with local friends and visitors alike. Incredibly impressed by the knowledge of the staff, variety of wines, and incredible food. Sarah is always happy to walk me through a tasting or surprise me with the latest red they have in. Love love love this place and the folks that work here!“

“We spent 4 days at a conference at the convention center and purchased most meals at Reading Terminal Market. Profi's did not disappoint. I chose a build your own savory with salmon, cheddar, spinach, and pesto, a crazy combination that worked for me. Others chose a sweet make your own with 2 berry fruits, and Nutella® , with crushed oreos. Also a wild combination that works.
We arrived early for breakfast at 8am with no line with quick service. We sat at one of the accessible tables in a central area of the market.
Signs are light letters on light brown background, fairly readable.
Accessible entry in main entrances and smaller entrances have 6 steps.
Accessible venue with adequate wide aisles, that get congested at busy times.
Accessible van parking in paid lot, a short walk to market“

“Food was excellent. Small and quaint .“

“We went for a team holiday lunch and it was beautifully decorated, and a great ambiance. The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. We shared the duck wings which were falling off the bone and amazing. We almost all ordered the burger that was juicy and declicious.“

“An enjoyable morning of coffee and croissants. Thanks“

“Great service from hostess to servers! They were very accommodating and pleasant with our large loud group!!🤩Kelly and Jonathan were both amazingly patient and attentive during our service! My staff and I were happy to celebrate our year ending fellowship with you all! Thank you.“

“From beginning to end, our experience was very delightful. Our reservations were for Afternoon Tea, to enjoy birthday a celebration. Arriving the valet was extremely pleasant &accommodating. No rushing us out of the car to attend to someone else. Our waiter, Miguil, was SUCH a pleasure. He explained all of our tea options in full detail. Took pictures for our party. And just all-around had a very refreshing, yet professional attitude. Great day had by all of us... even the guys who doubted that tea could be fun!! Thank you, Sofitel! We will be returning💗“
