Ask for an indoor-outdoor table overlooking the park: you'll get generous views and the pleasant din of the 150 diners behind you without the deafening buzz that is the restaurant's one true downside.

"Parc is less ostentatious than some of Starr's creations, and that's a good thing. A classic bistro where you'll never go wrong with the steak frites or côtes du Rhône."
