Been meaning to go here for years having past it on PT daily for years. What a regret to have not gone sooner. Awesome high standard for good in a super warm cosy pub. Great happy hour and food offerings. We came for the steak/parma night. Steak was delicious. Salad was well dressed. Staff were awesome! A really great experience. Can't believe it took me so long!

I was at the Birmingham hotel after reading an article in the Good Food guide that it has one of the best parmigianas in Melbourne. I went on Tuesday when there was a special. The parmigiana costs $18. It tasted pretty average. It wasn't crispy at all. The cheese is quite bland but has the soft texture. The chicken was thick, which is a redeeming feature. The fries were mostly crispy, and the salad dressing was good. Overall, it's average and wouldn't travel from far to dine at this venue.

I have heard the rumors of an iconic Parma. I was doubtful. OMG. One of the best ones I've had. There are variations to the masterpiece. Highly recommend, will come back again. It's a pub, so the same vibe, lots of drinks, and plenty of screens for that sport night. Multiple levels so suit the amount of quietness you want.

As a board-certified parma enthusiast, I can confidently say that The Birmingham Hotel consistently produces the best parmas that I've come across in my parma-sampling career. Of the huge number of parma offerings that I have sampled across Australia, only a very small handful stand out above the rest, and the Birmingham Hotel parma is at the very peak of them all. Please never, ever change it guys.
