Parc - Philadelphia
About This Spot
Stepping into Parc feels like slipping into a lively Parisian corner tucked away in the heart of Philadelphia. There’s a welcoming hum here—a blend of midday chatter, clinking glasses, and the soft scrape of cutlery—that invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Whether you settle at a cozy table inside, surrounded by warm woods and subtle lighting that recalls a classic French bistro, or enjoy the street-side bustle on warmer days, the atmosphere balances energy and intimacy with an easy grace.
Parc’s rhythm suits those who appreciate the art of unhurried dining paired with thoughtful, approachable French-inspired flavors. It’s a place where breakfast can feel like a relaxed ritual, brunch turns into a midday celebration, and dinners linger with the comfort of familiar yet refined tastes. The menu embraces both simplicity and detail, evident in everything from delicate pastries that arrive in a basket to vibrant seafood platters and richly layered soups that feel like a welcome embrace. There’s a reassuring honesty to the food here: it’s thoughtfully prepared, highlighting seasonality and classic influences without fuss.
Conversations overlap with smiles and moments of quiet enjoyment, reflecting the restaurant’s dual identity as a neighborhood gathering spot and a destination for those craving a refined, yet comfortable dining experience. Service flows naturally, contributing to the easygoing mood without ever feeling rushed. The lighting softly accents the wood and tile interiors, creating an inviting warmth that encourages connection and delight in both the food and company.
Parking nearby can be a challenge, hinting that many who visit prefer to arrive on foot, by ride-share, or simply seize the chance to wander through the nearby streets before and after their meal. It’s an experience that encourages savoring both the familiar and the discovery, a small escape that blends the spirit of French dining with the pulse of Philadelphia’s vibrant downtown.

Amazing restaurant. All the food was incredible. I had always wanted to try a croque monsieur, and it did not disappoint. Bread and appetizers were high quality and delicious. The cranberry nut bread was my favorite. Very moist and flavorful. My wife is a connoisseur of fine French Onion soup, and she exclaimed that this was the best she'd ever had. The quiche Lorraine was delightful, fluffy and crusty, very light. Portion size is perfect - you won't leave hungry but you won't need a cart to haul leftovers. Its just right. Desserts are to die for. This is the best creme brulee I've ever had, and the chocolate mousse is the perfect flavor, sweetness and a magical consistency you cant make at home. Service was perfect at well. Our server Samantha is delightful, quick with a knowledgeable recommendation and great conversation. The manager Sawyer visited our table and was clearly invested in the quality of food and performance of his staff. 10/10 highest recommendation. Will be back soon!

Great food and service! Really big fan of the onion soup. Ordered the beef bourguignon and the scallop risotto and both were amazing as well. Also finally a place that nails the dim lighting without it being too dark

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.

My wife and I visited Parc on Thanksgiving, the atmosphere was great and restaurant was beautifully decorated. The service was great, my wife ordered the Beef Bourguignon and it was fantastic. She also ordered the Onion Soup, but was disappointed because although it tasted great it did not have broth. I order the Steak Frits it had a good taste but a bit to fatty not a good cut. The experience was great, but certain item's could have been for price. Nevertheless greatful to have a place to spend Thanksgiving with my wife. Thanks for being open and providing a service when you could be home with your family members. Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to try lunch. We ordered cheese omlette and mozarella sandwich. As dessert of course crème brule. The bread basket was really yummy. Very crowded we waited some time to get seated. We didn’t get super big meals but ending paying over $50 excluding tip. So pricey. Another things you should know before you go. The parking is really difficult. Maybe better to take uber or bus.

I stopped by Philadelphia over the weekend and decided to visit this place after seeing how busy it was both in the morning and at night — and the great reviews didn’t lie! The restaurant sits right across from a park, and despite the crowd and size, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive (except for the host — a little smile or warmth would’ve made a much better first impression). Thanks to the generous, delicious breakfast and the genuinely kind service, my day started off perfectly. The gentleman who guided us to our table greeted us with such thoughtful manners, and our server’s hospitality was truly flawless. It’s been a while since I had such a pleasant dining experience, so I happily left a bigger tip than usual. These days, some restaurants can’t even provide decent basic service yet still circle the “extra tip” section on the receipt — but this place was outstanding in every way. The bread basket was amazing — even the complimentary bread was fresh and delicious. The butter was a bit too cold and hard to spread, but the jam that came with it was wonderful. The onion soup we shared was absolutely perfect, and the beet salad was fresh, tangy, and refreshing. The quiche was soft, seasoned well, and had an ideal texture. The only small downside was the coffee, which could have been better. But overall, the bright smile and warm service from our server, along with the team’s attentiveness even during the busy rush, made this a truly delightful breakfast experience. Highly recommend — this place absolutely deserves its great reputation!

I came on Monday evening, i made no reservations, and was lucky to have space available. If you plan to come in group, make sure to make reservation, it's full 'till closing. Atmostphere as you can see in the video, place is great, restroom clean, staff friendly. It is a little bit hard to catch your server, its very busy and packed. Overall, it is still great for gathering. Ordered: Mushroom soup, yummy and comfort as always. Not to blant not over seasoned. Escargot was great, come with bread stick, deep it in the sauce for a little and yeahh its melting in your mouth. Lamb shank honestly it taste good. It's just I'm someone who enjoy strong flavors, so for me its a little bit too mild seasoned, so if you cant stand too much spices, this would be very great. But if you are someone who enjoy strong flavors like me, its good but this might not be yours. Overall, will be back to try other entreès :)
