We visited Mrs Parma for a pre theatre meal of parma because it was Valentine’s Day and most of the regular pre fixe venues were insisting on Valentine’s Day set menus. We had no booking but turned up early enough that we were seated on perhaps the worst table in the whole venue overlooking the alley dumpsters. Apparently all the other tables for booked for Valentine’s dinners but for this one, although half of these remained empty for the duration of our meal. Food wise I was able to order my veal parma which was well worth the extra $2.50. Sizeable and we’ll seasoned crumbs and quality meats made for an exceptional parma. My wife had the bruschetta chicken parma and hers was even bigger than mine. She is known for over making some big calls but claims this to be her favourite chicken parma in Melbs.

Drinks wise no cocktails but plenty of Australian beers on tab and a selection of wines and spirits too.

Overall worst view for dinner but some of the better parmas out there.

I've lived in Melbourne all my life and have never been to Mrs. Parma's. Lookinh quite vintage from the facade I was pleasantly surprised by the parma offering they had (vegetarian friendly). Servings are quite big and if you want to have a half serve you need to pay extra and the other half needs to be shared with someone else on your table (odd!- as I can cut it in half myself).
We ordered the chilli parma, not as spicy but still delish and the Mexican parma filled with jalapenos and guaco. All parmas served with chips and salad. Service was average however compensated by food.

A Parma restaurant ingrained in Melbourne as one of the best, offering gluten free options among others. We have been here before separately, however decided to return to the conveniently located Mrs Parma's due to their gluten free options and of course, for a mean Parma.

I ordered the Mexican Parma, a mix of guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos whilst Emily ordered the gluten free classic with no cheese. The parmas here are of very high quality, with the chicken tasting fresh and cooked well as opposed to cheaply crumbed or served quickly. The ingredients used are fresh and really make for a fulfilling and impactful Parma.

Lots of flavours and toppings to choose from, and we were certainly happy with our choices. Really recommend if you are after a good Parma!

One of my favourite food is a good Parma so when I am in a place that specialises in only Parmas I am literally in heaven! The parmas themselves were really huge in portion size which was great . We went for the original and Mexican! The Mexican was delicious , sort of strange like those funky flavours on pancakes at pancake parlour but Just like there I really loved it ! Would definitely go back to try some more flavours

Came here for a birthday dinner the other night. 

I ordered the Eggplant parma with the Suppergeddon topping. The dish came with mozzarella and I asked for extra guacamole ana jalapenos. The eggplant was cooked very well and the cheese was hot and tasty. The dish was quite filling although I would have liked for a bit more guacamole. 

Overall, a very enjoyable experience at Mrs Parmas!

Excellent place, must go to if you feel like a Parma or just happen to be at the top end of town. I’m a devout carnivore, but decided to try the eggplant Parma. I was not disappointed, it was superb. As an Italian know exactly what they are supposed to taste like and these guys hot the mark. Great atmosphere in there and some good beers on tap to try.

This is to a review to my best chicken Parmigiano thus far! This is usually a crowded place, but we got some good seats even without a reservation.
I got myself a supergedon, and my friends with the Mexican and the other with mushroom. My supergedon was real spicy, and this was that moment that kept you wanting for more! Succulent chicken, good coating of cheese and good flavors!
The Mexican was quite bland to be honest and the mushroom was quite alright, just not upto the standard set by the supergedon. However , a good hearty meal for a slightly expensive price!

Well, you’d certainly hope that a place called Mrs Parma’s would have some good parmas, and they definitely do. I generally think of parmigianas as very stock standard food, something I never really order myself but always sneak a bit from my friends whenever they order it.

I am a big fan of how tasty and huge the parmas are here, and how many different flavours and options they had. I really enjoyed my meatball and jalapeño one, and the chorizo one was also very good. The Brie and cranberry one was interesting, still very tasty. The pricing is a tad expensive, at $27-30 per Parma, but the portions are worth it. Will be back for sure.

I had my doubts about the eggplant parma but if fried chicken gets too much for you... eggplant is a ilfe changing option!

Ordered:
Eggplant parma with mexican topping: tomato salsa, sour cream, guacamole and jalapenos ($24.50)
Chicken parma with mushroom topping: oven roasted field mushrooms with oregano ($27.50)
*all parmas are topped with mozzarella & served with chips and salad

Review:
Would highly recommend you bring a mate for you to go halfsies with... especially those who have similar taste to you. I was too scared to fully commit to eggplant parma and I'm slowly moving off fried chicken but I just had to try the classic parma combo.

Mrs Parmas, although the lighting is shoddy and is left field of romantic (the red lighting is a little creepy imo), they do their parmas and sides well. Chips although in a small bowl, was more than enough and the salad was the perfect refreshing taste from the heavy parmas. 

Although the chicken was a little try it was edible. I do wish the mushrooms were better distributed though.

The eggplant parma truly gave me life. It's lighter than chicken, which really brings out the flavour of the toppings! Eggplant didn't really taste like much but gave it enough texture that the toppings weren't overwhelming.

Chips, as other reviewers have commented, is absolutely delicious but also terribly salty. This is not somewhere you want to bring your health conscious friends but, vegetarians come through because the eggplant parma is uneal.

Hidden in the busy streets of Little Bourke is a pub that mainly sells parmigiana (what a surprise)! Here’s a quick summary of how my first experience went!

The Mexican topping had caught my eye! Topped with tomato salsa, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños, I was pretty excited about how the flavors would work with the parma. When it came out, I was pleasantly surprised to be presented with a massive piece of meat with melted cheese and the expect Mexican toppings on it! I had given it a real good mix and the flavors were pretty good as expected - savory and mild sourness!

I have tried the mushroom and original toppings which were just as good but my heart was swayed more towards the Mexican! As a side note, the chips and salad were pretty tasty as well - I suspect they batter the chips twice!

Overall, it was a great experience and I have gone back there several times for my favorite!

Returned here after many years absence and it definitely still stands as my favourite parma in Melbourne. Although it wasn't as big or filling as I recall, the napoli sauce is excellent, and works great in combination with the ham and cheese to make the original veal parma my go-to option here. The chips were a little overcooked tonight, but the salad and garlic bread was nice. There's a good variety of beers on tap and the guys behind the bar are brilliant. A really nice pub-like atmosphere. They're quite busy so if you haven't booked, you will probably end up at the bar but there's not much of a wait. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for parmas.

I’ve been here a few times and ordered various Chicken Parma dishes. I have never been disappointed with any of them; they’re juicy and the servings are generous. There is some room for improvement but it’s much better than what you’d get at most restaurants. Now regarding the fries: they are some of the best fries I’ve had. They’re crunchy and the chicken salt used is amazing. The only complaint I have - and it’s a big one - is that they serve the same amount of fries to share whether it’s between 2 people or 5 people. With 5 people, we all each get a tiny handful of fries. I find that absolutely ridiculous especially when we’re paying the same (slightly expensive) price for the meal. We shouldn’t have to pay for extra fries when more people attend.

Apart from the food, the atmosphere has a warm pub feel to it and the service is quite friendly. I would recommend coming here for the Parmas and Fries but beware of sharing fries with too many people.

Let's just settle this now: Mrs Parmas does do the best parmas in Melbourne. Now I've been quite skeptic in the past, also wondering "how can your average pub parma get even better?", well now i know why. The quality of components is just super high here: the bowl of chips have that excellent crunch, even the salad is nice and crispy (no excuse to skip greens here!). The Parma here is just absolutely gorgeous, large in size and flavour. Just the perfect enough of spice in the meatballs, every single bite was blissful. Although the portions are quite large, trust me youll figure an unscientific method to get everything into your belly. 😉😉

Fell in love with the chips but the chicken parmas themselves were average. They were semi-crispy and semi-moist. They have done a great job with the toppings though. Lovely ambience and service, a shame I wasn’t in love with their main menu item: parmas.

Had the ‘Bolognese’ chicken parma which consist of traditional Bolognese sauce, melted mozzarella and some shredded herbs on top. An order of parma also came with a side of chips and salad. 

The portion size of the chicken parma was huge and the amount of cheese on top already looked very impressive. The bread coating to chicken ratio was just right; bread coating was not too thick and chicken was not cut too thin. It took me by surprise how the breading has maintained a nice crunch to it even though it was covered in Bolognese sauce. The chicken was succulent and meaty, flavoured by the savoury Bolognese sauce with a hint of tangy and sweetness from the tomato; and the stretchy melted mozzarella cheese added a nice chewy texture which contrasted well with the juicy and tender chicken. As for the sides, the chips were thick and lightly seasoned with salt but barely had any crunchiness to them; the salad bowl had lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion and vinaigrette dressing, basic but was nice to have along with all the chicken that was consumed.

Overall it was a tasty and satisfying meal; they have a lot of interesting toppings to choose from but I went with something simple and it didn’t disappoint. Everything about the chicken parma was on point; the chicken, the bread coating, the sauce and the cheese. The chips and salad were just average but not too much of a concern as they are really good at what they do; the parmas.

This place is a-awesome. It's got a pub-like feel and boasts that it has been melbourne's first microbrewery. It has it's own ciders, beers (even a gluten-free beer called o'brien's), ginger ale and other drinks.

Like it's name, it has a range of parma toppings which come with your choice of meat or veggie (veal, chicken or eggplant) and a side of chips and salad to share.

My dinner mate had the o'brien's beer which basically glides down your throat. I had their home-brewed rasberry mead which is fresh rasberries, honey, water and alcohol. Slightly sweet, very light and 4.5% alcohol - au naturel!

As I like spicy food, I was recommended to get the Parmageddon. Both my dinner mate and I got it. It has four different kinds of chilli sauce and is delicious. My dinner mate got the chicken version and I got the eggplant. Mine was succulent pieces of eggplant (four large pieces) with layers of cheese, a good dose of chilli (not enough for me to require water or cry for help - maybe a level 2 out of level 5) and lots of herby flavours. The chips were ok. The salad was refreshing with lots of green leaves and cucumber.
The eggplant parma is around $24 bucks from memory.

Very quick service. Lovely staff. Great vibe.

Nextt time I'm going to get the kamikaze! :)

Looking for a light meal before the show (around the corner at Princess Theatre), what better than a good ol' classic chicken parma. Between two.

The staff member warmly welcomed us that night, sat us at a stool table with no reservation, presented us with menus and a friendly explanation of what Mrs Parmas is all about. All well. We decided on an original chicken parma to share and a couple of drinks from the bar. Wood panelled walls and craft beer maps adorning the wall gave a very westerns bar feel to the restaurant.

Food service wasn't too long a wait, enough time for a conversation over a drink. Parma was delicious, schnitzel lightly crispy beneath a tasty ham, cheese and sauce blanket with hints of herb. Accompanying salad was well dressed, chips crunchy but not oily. Even shared, the serving was very decent between two for a light meal.

If you're feeling peckish for parma and beer, not a bad place to consider.

I came here because I heard of the delicious eggplant Parma. Some of my friends prefer the eggplant Parma over the regular one. It still surprises me because the eggplant tastes as good as the regular or if not then better. It's so different to what I've had before. There are so many different toppings you can choose from.

The Dear Luncher
+4.5
The Dear Luncher is a veteran visitor to Mrs Parmas, having first walked through those hallowed doors back when they first opened probably around ten years ago. It has for a long time been a favourite group booking destination. In many respects Mrs Parmas was way ahead of its time with the craft beer focus. Their dedication to that cause is to be admired. A pot of the Wind in the Willows IPA was the opening beverage and it delivered. 

This was the first visit back after perhaps a four year hiatus. Nothing has changed, it is still the same. Reliable, authentic. The Dim Sim Parma was ordered because where else in the world are you going to get a Dim Sim Parma? Although what was served up was a tad defalting, it was still delicious. The Dear Luncher was expecting dim sim portions embedded in the parma. Instead it was just a handful of dimmies sitting on top of an original parma. It’s good to know that they’re still consistently producing top quality parmas, you’ll struggle to find better. Particularly when so many places serve them up these day with the chicken sitting on top of the chips. GTFO, please.

KUTGW Mrs Parmas.

Mrs Parmas is definitely the place to go for a good parma. I have been here on many occasions and have always enjoyed my meal. Service has always been friendly and efficient. The parmas are huge but I love the fact that you can ask to split your parma in half and share. The parma, chips and salad are all split and prepared in advance and brought out to you on separate plates. Great to have that option for those that cannot fit in the beast!

There are a variety of different parma options with a rotating menu. Some of my favourites include the Mexican, the pepperoni, and the pumpkin and feta. You have a choice of chicken, veal or eggplant. For those hardcore chilli fans, they have the Parma’geddon. This may be perhaps Melbourne’s hottest parma. Too hot for me but a few of my friends absolutely love it. They have other items on the menu but why would you even go there 😊 Drinks are purchased at the bar. Worth a visit! Make sure you book!

Mrs Parma's is the best thing out of all things. I don't care where you are or what you're doing tonight- if you aren't eating at this establishment, than you're doing it wrong. With even a vegetarian option for their schnitzel- which I actually want to order one day because it looks so good- Mrs Parma's parmas have an impossible selection of toppings and extras to have your Parma prepared with.

I'm sorry, doing this review is really hard because now I really want another Parma and I'm not even mad my phone auto-capitalises Parma. I can't wait to go back again and eat too much.

Came here with my partner for lunch. The place itself is very well built and designed. Hard to miss information on Chicken Parmagana as there are little facts written all over the place to provide some entertainment while at your table, rather than just going onto your phone to pass time by.

We both got the original plain chicken parmaganas and we both thoroughly enjoyed them. Beautiful chips (to share between two) and a great piece of chicken topped with delicious legit sauce. It's definitely the best Parma I've had in a while and that's jncluding pub standard parmas too. Very friendly service and staff. Prices are just over average but you get what you pay for.

Happy eater and would come back again to dabble in the different flavours!

I went to Mrs Parmas for the first time a few weeks ago. The table service was prompt and the food came out quickly. Parmas were huge and the salad and chips were enough for our table. The prices are a bit steep -$26.50 for a Parma and small amount of chips and salad - but I'm willing to forgive that as my Bolognese Parma was delicious and, as I said, huge! 
Downside, is the bar service for the drinks. The guys behind the bar seemed to be working in slow motion and honestly, seemed strangely confused. There was one group of people in front of me and it took the bartender a good 5 minutes to get them a lemonade, a beer and a mixed drink - the last one seemed baffling to him. If you're going to force people to get up from their table to get a drink, you really should light a fire under your bar staff.

A pub that supports Victorian microbrewery but surrounded by American flags which was a bit odd..

But other than that, both my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Had the 3 cheese and mushroom chicken Parma. The thickness of the chicken to sauce and cheese ratio was perfect. Sauce was nice and chicken wasn't dry. Love the chips, really nice and crunchy.

I couldn't finish the meal as it was pretty decent sized, left with a food baby. Will be back for a quick no fuss pub Parma meal next time when the craving kicks in.

I feel a bit silly for not expecting Mrs Parmas to be a pub, but it all makes sense to me now =p. Nice pub it was too, not that I'm any sort of pub veteran.. or a parma veteran for that matter. But damn, I really liked this parma. My mattriciana was delicious. Saucy, cheesy, generous amount of bacon, olives and I suppose a got a small chili kick from it. The sizes are smaller than what they used to be apparently, but they're still pretty big. Sadly they aren't licensed for takeaway or something or rather. This is disappointing since smaller eaters will end up being forced to waste a sizable, delicious and pretty expensive parma--like my partner did. What's more I was there for pre-show dining and the food took forever to come out. I ended up running out of time and couldn't take away what I didn't get to finish. Wait staff were nice but were inattentive a lot of the time and forgetful. We ordered tomato sauce for our chips (which were very nice and crispy), and the waiter went straight into the kitchen next to our table, came out a few mins later empty-handed and walked straight by. We had to ask him again for the sauce. Those things aside, I think Mrs Parma's dishes up a great, if expensive take on the traditional parma, as well as some not so traditional flavours. Would definitely still come back.

The Parma's are sensational. The chips are dreamy. It's like all of your Parmigiana dreams come true. They have a really good selection of local and Australian beers and cider here too!

Can get pretty busy quick, so you need to book early otherwise you may sit in the overcrowded bar area.

Luckily they opened another store in Windsor which is less busy, as it's fairly new.

The side chips and salad are simple but nicely done. Excellent choice of beers and ciders. Nice service. A very pleasant place for a meal.

We love everything about this place. Awesome staff, always so friendly and accomodating. This is the only place to go for a Parma! The Mac and Cheese Parma and Capricciosa is the ultimate!!! But Bolognaise and Pepperoni is a good season swap :P Could not recommend enough!

You've got to love a restaurant with 15 parmas on the menu! The bruschetta is my favourite but they are all available in chicken, eggplant or the deliciously unethical meat, veal. There's also a decent selection of other things on offer if parmas aren't your thing, although I'm not sure why you would bother with this establishment if that was the case. I love the concept of dedicating an entire venue to Melbourne's most loved dish and the serving size is very generous. It's not the classiest place but it's definitely got thecool novelty factor. Can't go wrong (unless you forget to make a booking as this joint is super busy)

Another "must visit Parma joint" in Melbourne CBD
Along with its trendy atmosphere and laid back bar comes the delicious LARGE size parmas! With so many toppings to chose from there is definitely something for everyone!
Parmas so big that chips and salad have to be served on seperate plates!
Rating a 4 star for friendly service and food! Although is probably one of the more pricier Parma places!

Honestly, I am never going to be impressed by a Chicken Parmigiana. I just don't like them. I was pleasantly surprised with Mrs. Parma's as they do veal as well! The place was full to the brim when we attended, lucky we had a booking. Food was not bad, drinks were slow to come by and the wait staff were swamped. If you like Parma's, then definitely go, but also keep in mind the crowds.

This joint was recommended by a very good friend who is good on the fang if he says best parmas in the CBD I'll have a go. Went there after a appointment nearby got there just before 12 dead quiet and nearly fainted when I saw the beer list OMG!!! Talk about spoilt for choice #drunklife so after 5 minutes of deliberation I grabbed me pint $13 of 2 brothers lazy boy IPA bit rich for a truck driver from keysy but had to be done. Ordered an original with chips and salad got half way through me pint looked up and the joint was full of office lunchgoers. Got my meal and fark me the best Parma I've had for a long time!!!! And the size was well worth the $26 . Next time it's gonna be the cappricossa stay tuned!! The cappricossa is EPIC!!!!!!! Believe mate believe!! CHECK THE PHOTO OUT!!!

Delicious Parma's with a massive serve. Great gluten free option as well. I do recommend booking even on a Monday night as we were forced to sit at the bar to be able to get a seat as their tables were all booked. Love the support of local breweries and enjoyed a wonderful ginger beer with meal. Service was friendly too.

Snitzels... how good can it really get...?

Creativity and decent servings is what got me over the line. The range of parmas costing on average of $26 with chips and salad to share is pretty good for a lunch gathering on the weekday.

Pro: good work lunch place

Con: a bit of a novelty

We visited Mrs. Parma's over weekend to try out famous parma's. It was our first attempt to try Parma's and we absolutely loved it. Being an vegetarian, they had separate menu for vegetarians with whole lot of options to try and we ordered 4 types of Parma's n all were delicious. service was really good and we even tried local brewed beer was really good. Would definitely visit again very soon

I love this place ✨✨. They have the best Parmas in Melbourne. I have been to many places for Parmas and this is the place where everytime you order Parma, the taste is consistent. Also, the Chicken Parma’Geddon is the best in their menu and worth the price ❤️. You won’t be disappointed. Great place to come with friends and family.

Well their best dish is evidently mentioned in their name. Amazing vibe inside the restaurant, the staff are friendly and cheerful. They made sure everything was alright during our meal. I ordered the Vindaloo Parma and I gotta tell you I recommend it a 100%. Great sauce and a good portion of chips and salad. One recommendation is to refill our water more often.

Firstly: Great Food! I really enjoyed the vegetarian puttanesca parma, served with a fresh salad and yummy chips. Plus the apple cider on tap was top notch. We came here between the 2 parts of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as a group of 7 and without a booking. They did a great job of finding a table and had very attentive staff. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. They catered to our many and varied dietary restrictions (including gluten free children, dairy free/gluten free adult and vegetarians) with a huge range of choices for all. They obviously really care about patrons and catering to their needs with coloured coded menus for different diets, even asking about dietary restrictions straight away. Thoroughly appreciated as this is hard to come by. 5 stars and would definitely recommend (dietary restrictions or otherwise)!! Please come and try Mrs Parma's!!!

Really friendly service. Great atmosphere. The food is always spot on, full of flavour and mouth watering. One of the best parmas I have had. Really decent prices for parmas. Beer is on the expensive side. I do recommend booking first.

I liked it a lot, they have a very cozy atmosphere. I tried a very appetising Scamorza Parma, it was so yummy. Good size, well cooked and very good taste. It's the best place to eat Parmigiana and not only that, there are also starters, salads and desserts. You can enjoy with your family and friends. Also, it has a wide variety of beverages such as soft drinks, white and red wines, cider, bottled beers and beers on tap.

I haven’t been back to this place for years now and I’m so glad I dined here again. We had the Parma floaters and the warm pumpkin salad. So delicious and hearty especially the pumpkin made with freshly chopped spinach. Will return more often now.

I had the original chicken Parma and I thought it was great. The chicken was juicy and it had just right amount of toppings. Very good tomato sauce and grilled until perfectly golden. The fries were very well seasoned and super crispy. The salad was a tiny bit oily but still crunchy so no big deal. Great taste and great value, so much food! The staff were lovely and recommended a great IPA too so I would definitely recommend a visit.
