I found the Parc Bistro about 5 years ago, and have enjoyed dining there a few times a year ever since. Each time has been an amazing experience. I love that the menu changes by the season and I love that the meals are "always unique." The food is exceptional and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. The presentation of the food is beautiful and the food combinations and flavors are always a wonderful surprise to your taste buds.
If you are a real "foodie" and you're looking for a meal that is a treat for your senses, this is the place to come to.
I have never met the chef, although I understand he has been there for 26 years, and I hope he stays forever! He is extremely creative and very talented. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a special place to dine and unique items on the menu. It is not inexpensive, but for what you get, I believe it is priced right. Thanks Parc Bistro for a high quality place to dine!

A very unique experience inside a historical building. The place is so much larger than you imagine upon first entering. The entire menu was enticing (normally I'm drawn to a few items, but I had a very difficult time making a decision- I went with one of their specials for my entree)
Their Octopus appetizer was phenomenal- perfectly cooked and accompanied by a delicious medley of flavors.
I just wish they had a better selection of tequila, but I won't hold that against them 😉

When my wife and I are looking to go out to a really nice dinner Parc is always on the top of our list. The food is always great. The menu changes seasonally so it never gets boring. I’ve NEVER had a bad meal there and I’ve had a lot of meals there. PRO TIP. On a nice night make a reservation and sit outdoors. Not sure what to try? Their pepperoni and caramelized onion pizza is one of the best pizzas I have ever had!

We went last year to celebrate a birthday. The food, drinks and atmosphere was wonderful. I believe we had the same waitress this year and she did a wonderful job. Once again, the food was absolutely delicious. Every bite is a wonderful explosion in the mouth. If you are looking for tasty French inspired food, this is the place. We had the octopus which was so tender I couldn’t believe it! Husband had the sea bass and raved. I has the crab cakes and really enjoyed them. Also, highly recommend the pear martini. Just GO!

Sautéed Crab Cakes
Holy cow, I think we found one of our top six restaurants of all time in little maybe not so sleepy Skippack PA. First off, the staff are so friendly, and what an incredible menu that the chef put together from season to season, the food is extraordinary the depth of flavor, the depths of ingredients the plating presentations are award-winning in and of itself. The food taste is just off the charts. I’m salivating as I write this, we would be there more frequent had it not been for the over hour drive to get there, but it is so well worth it we will be back again again.

Seafood Beignets
Neglected to capture pictures, but joined my family to celebrate my birthday at Parc Bistro. Overall, it was a great spot and would recommend with some caveats throughout.
Parc Bistros location is found in the heart of Skippack village within a historic building that plays well to a colonial-like setting. We sat on second floor in the dining room, which was quite expansive and had a few other diners. The location was great!
Our server was attentive and polite and was able to rattle off a long and complex list of specials.
The food carries a heavy French influence - as you'd expect from the name. Picky eaters may find the menu somewhat limited in its offerings - with a heavier weighting in the menu on seafood. I personally was okay with this, but my less adventurous parents were limited in their choices. They did all enjoy what they did receive, though.
We shared a few small plates across the table - and we agreed the étouffée was amazing and the star. I opted for a crock of French onion, which was smothered in cheese and crispy onions. It tasted great - but was a bit sweeter than my preference. I also got the Lobster risotto, which was rich and flavorful. The large plates that the remaining guests got were larger in size and we all walked away stuffed. For dessert, I enjoyed the sorbet trio, which was a bit small for the price but tasted amazing!
Overall, the service was great, the location was historic and comfortable, and the food was great based on our tastes. I'd definitely recommend checking it out with the caveat to my points above for picky eaters on the menu.

French Onion Soup
My wife and I went there for lunch today. Warm greeting from the manager/bartender. Were seated promptly and a minute or two later our server arrived with drinks. They have an amazing selection of martinis if you are into that sort of thing. I love scotch and they have some of the top brands of single malts.
The food is very good. Too many choices. I ended up with a blackened swordfish sandwich and it was excellent. They also have a beautiful wood fired pizza oven and the list of pizzas is mouth watering
I took a tour afterwards and they have two beautiful rooms upstairs for private parties. They also offer outside seating on a patio just to the rear of the main building. There is also a refurbished barn to the rear of the patio for larger banquets. Definitely Lorenzo approved!
I had French onion soup , my wife had the soup of the day. I had the hanger steak . She had a sliced roasted pork dish. Everything was excellent. We will return!

French Onion Soup
My wife and sisters took my mom here for Mother's day lunch. It was our first time here and we love the atmosphere and setting. My wife enjoyed her crab cake. The french onion soup was delicious. The shrimp tacos was good. I wished the portion was larger. The waitress was attentive. There were many rooms which kept us spaced apart. It's a nice farmhouse atmosphere with two levels dining.
The food was great! Cocktails were delicious. Few mishaps with the service, but overall an enjoyable experience.
