The parma pea floater was to die for. Rarely do you get great service and atmosphere, huge portions and perfectly cooked food in one restaurant but they hit the nail on the head with this place . And to top it off the best Victorian craft beers on tap.
We decided to try this restaurant after going to the theatre and didn't have a booking, lucky for us they were able to give us a table at 5pm as the next reservation was for 6.30pm.
They specialise in Chicken snitzels and there's about 15 varieties/toppings to choose from. I had the pumpkin and goats cheese and it was devine. They all come with a side of chips and salad. The wine, beer, cider, ale list is huge. For old time sake I had Jamieson Brewery Raspberry beer, delicious!
The eating area is small so I would recommend booking.
Approximate cost: $25
Went for lunch with mates. Agree with others that seating is a bit limited here.
had a mushroom chicken parma, the size was large and it was quite tasty - good, but not the best I have had in the CBD. I was also a bit disappointed that the 3 of us had to share a bowl of salad & bowl of chips. Menu is quite limited if you don't want parma. Also $24 for a pasta or burger is not the best value for money around.
Service was quick, but did vary in quality. one waiter made a comment about us not having enough cash for a cash payment, which was rude. Overall a good experience with room for improvement
Approximate cost: $25
best parma's i've had, hands down!
had the eggplant margherita parma which was amazing, with generous sizing of chips and salad (both also amazing!)
side note: salad had too much dressing too it i think, tasted way too vinegary
staff were a bit of a hit and miss, some were great others were a bit rude and impatient, granted when we went it was really busy
bit far away to get to, but worth it if you like parmas!
Went with some mates after work for some parmas and beer. This place has the best parma I have ever had. It has the perfect combination of flavours and texture. Even though it's more expensive than the usual parmas at pubs but it was definitely worth the money.
i agree $20 for my eggplant parma was a bit expensive, but o worth it
We went to Mrs Parmas a few weeks ago for a quick dinner. The staff were quick to attend to us and our orders also came out pretty quickly. There is a HUGE range of different parmas to choose from, from your standard parma to some really interesting varieties. The parmas are pretty big, and come with chips and salad, so make sure you leave room for them before you go! The venue has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.
i know there's so many to choose from! i could keep going back just to try a different topping/flavor
Simply The Best Parma Around. Good value Great Food, Great Selection of Beers, Ales, Ciders to match the Food. Portions are exceptional and the service is generally pretty good too. One of our favorite places to take people visiting us.
Approximate cost: $19
The beer is nice. If you like something sweet, the cider is good. The only downside is not enough seat. It is an eat and go place.
yeah seating was a bit limited, especially during friday nights it's a bit of a wait
I usually avoid city pubs and restaurants but I have to say I don't mind this place too much. It's normally full of yuppies and suits, as you would expect, and the place has a 'work' feel to it, so I don't feel relaxed as I do in Fitzroy, Northcote and Brunswick. That said, the parmas are big and should fill you up if you're a big eater. They have decent beers on tap and the bar girls and waitresses have always been friendly to me even when I'm not dressed up like the office workers around me. Overall, it's alright.

This was a bit of a flashback to when I spent a lot of Friday nights in this same place but back then it was called Cheers. The Atmosphere is still really great as a bar then the bistro serves well what else PARMAS. There were about 10 different flavours and because of the size were served with side salad and chips for the table,
All in all Location was great as I was on my way to a show, Service was great and quick. Taste was fantastic and filling.
Approximate cost: $20+
Lovely laid out dining area and there is a large bar area aswell so you can just go in for a drink. Plenty of parma's to chooses from and there are other things on the menu too if you don't want a parma.
They have a huge range of Victorian beers to chooses from so it is a good place to try something new,
Approximate cost: $25
The best parma I have ever had! I regularly eat here now. There is also a big range of local beers from microbreweries around vic. Staff are friendly and all very knowledgeable on the beers they sell
Approximate cost: $20
i like how they support local australian microbreweries
Famous for the parma's - they have about 10 different topping options. The chips and salad is unlimited too. It's bar/restaurant type environment with many different beers to try.
Approximate cost: $20
oh wow i didn't know the chips & salad were unlimited!
Not a bad place. they ofcourse specialise in the parmi and there is a good range of these plus other things for those that aren't into parmis. They get busy so be prepared to wait when you go to the bar for a drink! A good range micro brewery beers too.
Approximate cost: $20
Three of us went for beers and food on a Friday night. A mixed crowd of Xmas revellers, after work drinkers, and families with kids (?!)
The few beers we tried were very good - all local. There was a booklet explaining them on the table too which I thought was really interesting.
Food was good - my partner had the Mexican parma which was massive!! He really enjoyed it. I had tandoori chicken salad which was excellent- very tasty.
Approximate cost: $20
I read about this place in The Age as being Melbourne's number 1 Parma place, so I had to check it out. With a good friend, we visted some weeks ago and the meal was absolutely exceptional. We went early, which was a good thing as it filled up so fast just after 12 noon, which meant others couldn't get a table. The food was fantastic (beware: the parmas are almost the size of a full chicken), service was great and fast, plus the range of beer on tap was a big plus.
Approximate cost: $20.00
