If you like your parmas and schnitzels supersized, then Mrs.Palma’s is definitely the place for you. Not only does this restaurant/bar/pub/bottleshop specialise in a dizzying array of crumbed chicken/veal topped with copious amounts of cheese and other stodgy products, they also serve an impressive range of Victorian microbrews, such as Grand Ridge, Mildura, Holgate and Red Hill.
Frankly I couldn’t go the parma, despite it being the signature dish. So I decided on the traditional Weiner schnitzel topped with a piquant German relish. It was a tad on the oily side and absolutely gargantuan on the plate. But I must admit defeat – I was only half way through when I had to pull out in fear of rupturing an artery. And to be quite honest, it wasn’t an entirely pleasurable eating experience. It was just waaay too much – I felt defeated before I even picked up my fork.
Alas, the big burly blokes on my table practically inhaled their parmas, swilling a couple of microbrews to boot. This is perhaps a place for the lads, which was approximately 95% of the clientele on the day of my visit too.
Just ensure you make a booking, as this is one very popular spot for the ol’ parma and pot (on a Friday especially).
They’re almost as big as the ones at Scheherezade.
Out of interest, is your blog a week behind or did you really post this a whole week ago?
Hey kitchen hand – oops, forgot to change the date
I have a mega backlog of blog entries to write up. So much food and so little time to write about it 
Uh huh…this schnitzel was HUGE! I also had a rather large one at Hofbrauhaus the other day, though it was certainly more manageable as it was only half the size
I haven’t done Scheherezade as yet – but is it as bad as you make out?
No, Scheherezade is wonderful – genuine Eastern European cooking, the real thing – but you need a big appetite.
Oooh…sounds like a challenge. I must give it a try!
