Fabulous! Well earned 5 out of 5. Very true to form Parisian style. Good bread! One of the best wine lists I’ve come across anywhere. Lunch menu has a few bonus options for breakfast and dinner too. Service pretty good. Very busy. Suggest reservations.

We came to Parc on a recommendation and enjoyed our experience very much. First, they offer a fresh made bread basket that’s second to none. We chose a lighter meal, sharing apps and dessert, which they accommodated. The service was impeccable, and it seemed obvious that many guests were regulars for dinner and family outings. If visiting the city, we pass the recommendation onto you, to enjoy a meal-breakfast, lunch or dinner-at Parc.

Came for brunch on 12/05/25. Bit of a bummer this time around because we have come here a lot for brunch over the past 4 years, usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are always lovely, but did a table this time and our server was cranky from the start. She took forever to greet us, was not welcoming at all, didn’t write our order down and so it came out wrong, shocker, and she didn’t check back on us at all. Would’ve ordered at least 2 more rounds of mimosas, made our check bigger and therefore tipped her more, but she was nowhere to be found. On the plus side, the hostesses and food runners were lovely and the food was great!

I ate here with some colleagues, the French Onion soup was delicious as was the steak frites. Good service as well.

Pretty good French food, more on the expensive side, and restaurant is decorated nicely this season. We started out with complimentary bread and butter. The bread is yummy and butter is slightly seasoned. We ordered one onion soup to share and the divided into 2 bowls, which is nice. It is well-seasoned with lots of cheese. For entree, I ordered special of the day, lobster risotto. The lobster tastes fresh, and the risotto is well-cooked and infused with shrimp flavor. Steak frites is kinda disappointing: I don't think the steak is done very well, fries is not very crispy, and sauce is not very yummy. Reservation highly recommended!

Think French experience without having to leave Philadelphia. The is bustling restaurant is located in the heart of downtown with great food and even better service. Weather permitting we enjoy sitting on the sidewalks and watching people go by. When it gets very cold (or hot) we enjoy the indoor seating where the decor is reminiscent of a Paris restaurant. Food is simple and tasty. One of our favorite places in Philadelphia.

i dined at parc over a month ago in october for my 21st birthday and this thought has not left my mind since, so i thought id finally leave a review. i have been a big fan of parc since finding out about it in december of 2024 and have loved my experiences there so i thought that parc would be a lovely place to enjoy a birthday dinner with my boyfriend. when reserving a table with the restaurant, my boyfriend put on our reservation that it was my birthday and he also went ahead and called beforehand asking if they could do something small for an important birthday and they agreed. when we arrived, we ordered drinks, where the server barely glanced over at my id and it wasn’t until my boyfriend mentioned something that he asked me to see it again and wished me a happy birthday. the most upsetting part was when we went to order dessert and it came out as it would for any normal customer. no candle, no celebration. i was crushed. my boyfriend saved the day when he took the decorative candle off the table and let me blow it out with the dessert he’d bought me as other servers watched. i have always had great service and amazing food here and believed that they could make this birthday a special one. my friends, family, and boyfriend all know how much i love parc and how i was beyond disappointed. i really do not believe i will be celebrating any more birthdays at parc, even after begging for it this year. i’ve included a picture of my birthday dessert and our makeshift celebration

Parc is always a treat and you literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you go for brunch, definitely get the pastry basket, and if you don't, at least try something from their baked goods. The blueberry muffins and bread is some of the best you can get.

Every aspect of our meal was thoroughly delightful. The atmosphere was beautiful and the service was impeccable. If there was a ten star option I would give it!

The food and drink is average, not great, not bad, just on the expensive side for the quality. What shocked me was the manhattan I ordered. It was premade and pored from a plastic bottle to my glass. Hard to know what spirits were really used in making this cocktail, also it just feels cheep to pour premade manhattan’s from a beat down pre used plastic bottle.

My friend and I had a delightful dinner at Parc. Our reservation was for 5:00 and we got there about 20 minutes early. We intended to just wait, but they sat us at a table immediately. The hostess told us she was giving us the midday menu from which we could order appetizers, but that at 5:00 we could order from the dinner menu. She was very welcoming. We were given a choice of bottled or tap water right after being seated. My friend wanted a Rusty Nail cocktail and he thought they probably wouldn't have it. I mentioned that to our waiter, whose name was Richard, he looked up the recipe and said he would have to see if they had Drambuie, one of the ingredients. He came back with my cocktail, Cafe Parc, and the Rusty Nail, much to the delight of my friend. We ordered appetizers, the Burrata & Figs and Escargots, and were brought a basket of bread - a sourdough bread, a fruit and nut bread, and slices of the traditional French baguette. They make all their bread and all of them were delicious. We took whatever was left home with us. My friend was very happy to see the Escargots on the menu and said they were very good. My friend ordered the Bouillabaisse, that evening's special, and I ordered the Trout Amandine. It was to die for and I definitely took the rest home. The sauce was so buttery and the almonds so crisp. My friend really enjoyed his entree. For dessert, we ordered the Profiteroles and the Crème Brûlée. Everything was excellent, our waiter, Richard, was very attentive to our every need, and I must say the evening was thoroughly enjoyable. I would love to have Richard again as my waiter. As we left the restaurant, they thanked us for coming and said to enjoy the rest of our evening. I will definitely be back.
