Parc sits across from Rittenhouse Square, built around the daily rhythm of a Parisian brasserie rather than a single meal period. Mornings run through viennoiserie, eggs Benedict, and quiche Lorraine; the day continues into raw bar service — oysters, shrimp and lobster cocktail, plateaus for sharing — and classic bistro dishes like onion soup gratinée, escargots, steak tartare, and charcuterie.
Dinner brings out the heavier bistro standards: moules frites, beef bourguignon, trout amandine, steak au poivre, and a cheeseburger finished with raclette and pommes frites. Brunch has its own following, with the warm shrimp salad and croque madame among the dishes regulars return for.
Reviewers consistently point to the mussels and steak tartare as standouts, alongside attentive service and a room suited to both a quick lunch and a special-occasion dinner, helped along by the restaurant's sidewalk seating overlooking the square.
