A stroll at the Rittenhouse Park in Philly and brunch right after sounds like a great idea, right? Well, not if it's only 22 degrees outside! We love taking our westie pup Dillon on walks so when the sun came out on this lovely Sunday morning - it's just inevitable. Good thing the city had the same idea as us so it didn't seem like you're walking through ghost town - more pups came out for Dillon to play with as well. After a stroll along the Rittenhouse Park, we decided to have brunch at Parc and boy, it was a great choice!
I've been trying to get over this month-long cold so I was a little bummed that I couldn't have any alcoholic beverage since I'm still taking these damn antibiotics and such. The bf ordered the Parc Brasserie's Bloody Mary and had a sip of it (don't judge me) and I can definitely say it fell on my Top 5 Best Bloody Mary I've Had list. It had natural tomato juice and the spiciness is not too overwhelming - the garnish just topped it off too. I'm into pretty looking foods...
We weren't that hungry because we had a late breakfast so we only ordered two hors d'oeuvres: tuna tartare for me and king crab legs for my love. The tuna tartare was perfect - it was drizzled with their leek vinaigrette and sea salt. It was so light and just melts in your mouth, I didn't have to use the fresh baguette that came with it. The king crab legs was served like a shrimp cocktail. It was fresh and just oh so so good! You don't even have to dip it in the cocktail sauce because it was already flavorful as is. You should have an idea how flavorful it is if you don't have to use the sauces that comes with your food.
We sat outside even though it was cold but it was not as bad because the sun decided to come out and stay for a bit... and because we love people watching. If you're ever in Philly and happened to be at the Rittenhouse area, I highly recommend this place - they are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
Au revoir!
