About this place Parc

Parc is a large Parisian-style brasserie from restaurateur Stephen Starr, on the corner of Rittenhouse Square at 18th and Locust. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. The menu covers French bistro standards such as oysters, steak frites and onion soup, and brunch is very popular. It serves from breakfast to dinner. The sidewalk tables facing the square are the ones to get. Prices are mid-range. It has a 4.6 Google rating from about 6,600 reviews and is busy on weekends, so book ahead. The Gayborhood is about ten minutes' walk east.

My family loves coming here when we are in town. The food is amazing and great service. Great location but finding street park close is tough. My number choice when I'm in town

I have visited this place twice. The atmosphere is great, and I especially liked the outdoor terrace. The server was really friendly on my first visit, but a little less so on my second. The food is delicious, but the iced latte was not very good.

Exceptional. Charles was amazing. Didn’t realize Le Dip in DC could be topped but this place did!

Busy place! I luckily squeezed into a seat at the bar. It was a Sunday in September with beautiful weather so I wasn’t surprised it was packed. They really cram in a lot of chairs at the bar which makes it a little tight and uncomfortable to drink, eat, breathe. I did have one younger male bartender who was my “lifeline” essentially as the other bartenders never made contact —although the older male spoke to guests around me but not directly to me. It would have been nice if the staff anticipated needs a bit more …pre bus, asked bottled or tap water —I had asked for bottled water then a melting glass of tap water (initially poured ) sat the remainder of my visit…with the very limited space and another drink in front of me …next thing you know I’m playing Tetris once the food plates arrived! At times it was pulling teeth to get anyone’s attention for another drink as mine was clearly empty right in front of me. The escargot was amazing. I almost ordered it a second time. The oysters were nice and fresh. The bread basket was awesome!! If I had better service (my main bartender left and the remaining weren’t attentive) , I would’ve ordered more food. I’ll definitely be back! I’ll most likely sit at a table next time where it’s more spacious and I’m assigned my own server , hoping it will go a bit smoother. Drinks were tasty and food was great.

Great classic spot for French Bistro dining. Not a quiet spot, no parking... But, great food and impeccable service.

Worth the trip on its own. The salmon tartare was served with lemon and various accoutrements on ice, which was nice but ultimately unnecessary. It was so perfectly diced and seasoned I was happy to shovel it into my mouth on its own. As soon as I was finished, the terrific quiche lorraine arrived. Great service, great food, great atmosphere.
