"From a cafe au lait and quiche lorraine to kickstart your morning to a martini nicoise and steak frites for dinner, Stephen Starr’s French bistro-inspired gem brings a small slice of Paris to Philly. Set right on Rittenhouse Square, the restaurant is also known for its sidewalk tables that face the park, perfect for lunch with your friends, and pets on a sunny day all year round." - Annemarie Dooling
"This popular Stephen Starr restaurant has many gluten-free dishes that are included on a special menu. Although almost everything on the menu can be gluten-free, Parc even provides a separate fryer for the French fries to ensure an enjoyable gluten-free dining experience." - Ernest Owens
"One of the fanciest spots in the city for morning bites, Parc is the place to come to be seen at breakfast. From 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekdays, diners can enjoy a French-forward menu that features everything from avocado toast to fresh-baked croissants." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Parc is a French brasserie built with the intention of transporting guests to Paris, situated on the edge of scenic Rittenhouse Square for optimal people-watching. It’s open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but our favorite way to experience it is to sit outside on a beautiful day with a martini, warm shrimp salad, and an order of fries." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
