Philadelphia, PA
- When it comes to scenic dining in Philadelphia, there are restaurants with stunning skyline views from high floors and charming hidden gardens. But for the quintessential, picture-perfect Philadelphia experience, no place captures the city's energy and beauty quite like Parc. Situated directly on the corner of the historic and beautiful Rittenhouse Square, this Stephen Starr brasserie offers a scene that is simply unmatched.
What makes Parc the most scenic spot isn't a dramatic, birds-eye view, but a captivating, street-level immersion into the life of the city. The restaurant is masterfully designed to feel like an authentic Parisian brasserie that has been there for decades. Its large, floor-to-ceiling windows and sprawling sidewalk cafe, with its classic wicker chairs, create a seamless connection between the elegant dining room and the vibrant park outside.
Dining at Parc means you're treated to a constantly evolving, beautiful view:
-
The Park: You get a front-row seat to the changing seasons in Rittenhouse Square, from the blossoming flowers of spring and the lush greenery of summer to the golden leaves of autumn.
-
The People: It is, without a doubt, the best people-watching spot in Philadelphia. The parade of life—from dog walkers and artists to business leaders and fashionable shoppers—provides endless entertainment.
-
The City's Energy: You are not looking down on the city from a distance; you are in it. The lively, sophisticated buzz of Rittenhouse Square becomes the backdrop to your meal.
Whether you're enjoying a croissant and coffee in the morning, a glass of rosé on a sunny afternoon, or steak frites under the warm glow of the restaurant's lights at night, the scenery at Parc is always breathtaking. It’s this unique combination of park-side tranquility, urban energy, and transportive Parisian charm that makes Parc not just a restaurant with a view, but a truly scenic dining destination and a strong contender for the best in all of Philadelphia.
