The 15 Best Restaurants Near Rittenhouse Square - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Parc is iconic and over-discussed for good reason. The classic French bistro looks like the set of a movie that takes place in Paris and anchors the east side of Rittenhouse Square. It's open all day and is always full of people and tiny dogs. And, on a nice day with a cold martini and the right pair of sunglasses, their sidewalk is one of the most glorious places you can sit in the neighborhood. Come for lunch on a day off or plop down at the bar and eat steak tartare and fries. Just don't settle for one of those dinky wooden tables in the middle of the dining room where servers will forget you exist. What are you, a tourist?" - candis mclean, alison kessler
