"chicken"

Still yet to prove it wasn't a frozen McCain's parma. Poor service as well. Highly overrated, clearly a staff member/owner has given the 100% ratings - which coincedentally were all on the same day. I smell a rat!

Ok made my second trip here, this time around the napoli was plain old tomato paste? Whats with that? The chicken was dry around the edges but quite good in the middle and the crumb fell off half my parma so I was not happy. The salad was ordinary and simply saved by the nice dressing. Minus one point for the service. I promised a second trip and it was wasted.

Gluten free crumbs (made from corn chips) made this super tasty, and the toppings were very innovative. Overall a very yummy Parma!

Not impressed with this one, popped in mid week with a group and the general consensus was OK. No one had hot chips and the parma was on the chips (crime against chips). The breast was not as moist as most are but the crumb was delish.

The parma is all that and more! The secret must be in the crumbing! Great bar, great selections of toppings for a parma and great staff. Bring back the Caesar Parma!

Nope not the best parma we've had, it's good but in comparisson to the ones we've tried mostly the top 20 its not quite up there. The napoli was too thick and the breast itself was dry. Great cheese mix, however big is not always best. Its good but not great.

Went in for dinner with my husband after reading the hype on this site (yes were parma lovers) and we were highly dissapointed. Big is not always best. we've tried most of the top ten both 09 and this year and this parma is not in the same league. Vote gathering is not a good idea unless you can walkk the walk - sorry guys.

Best Parma I've ever had! I had a great meal, and the ladies weren't to harsh on the old optic nerve either. Nice work Collective crew, I will see you again.

I live in the local area. And the local RSL claims to have the top 11 Parma in Melbourne. If that's the top 11 Parma in Melbourne then this has to be No.1. I have no idea why you would get the 11th best Parma in Melbourne when you could get close to No.1 across the road. No disrespect to the RSL but maybe they should take a leaf out of the Collective's book. Much love to Elwood.

I went here about a week ago, before the influx of comments and didnt find it worthy of voting however I guess I've now been given a reason to vote. The Parma was not great but the chips were. Service was slow and the staff were only ok to us, in particular my son was spoken to quite abruply hence the minus one point. More effort if you want to really earn a spot in the top Ten.

Disspointed on this one, in comparisson to the other Parmas on the top ten list it's just not as good and the variations of the traditional parma is just a take off from other pubs but not done as well. Sorry guys just doesnt cut the mustard in my view. Minus one point for the flood of votes which is not coincidence.

Oh dear not hard to see what's happened here !!! After the flood of 100% votes all in just over one day all by 1st time voters we decided to pop in and see what's going on here. Unfortunately the best part of the meal was the chips, they were very good. Parma itself was not good at all. Will be back in a few weeks to check for improvement in quality, not happy when this parma lover page is "doctored" :( Will be back to check regardless.
