Parcha Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

These guys are doing it right! The photos on their social media really draw you in. The food looks amazing and we can confirm, it tastes as good as it looks. I immediately contacted Yoni to investigate how kid friendly they are. From the get go, I received a very warm welcome from her about dining in with the kids. I was ready to go then and there, but I held off waiting for the opportunity to dine with my husband. Why you ask? So I could try more food. It was definitely worth that one week wait to head in!

We ventured in for an early dinner. We were immediately greeted and welcomed by Yoni! We just love the fit out of the restaurant. The venue itself isn’t huge, but it feels spacious and inviting. The atmosphere is welcoming and we just love that the kitchen is somewhat open too. They have a long bench seat with scatter cushions. We were seated and immediately provided water and a drinks order. The kids were also given some pencils and colouring books. I was very keen to hear about their favourite items and suggestions for the kids, especially what could be made dairy free.

We ordered multiple dishes so that we could try a little bit of everything and made small changes so that there are some dairy free options for Esther. They made it really easy to do this. We ordered a couple items from their secret menu and they did not disappoint. Mum’s the word though! Our spread included halloumi bites (polenta dusted), gozleme (spinach and fetta), kofte (spiced minced lamb kofte) and their HSP (Hidden Snack Pack: Seasoned fries, chilli mayo topped with chicken doner).

Food was incredibly fast and you can tell so much care has gone into the process of selecting quality ingredients. Everything we ate tasted incredible. The kids enjoyed tasting a little bit of everything. All of the staff at Parcha were very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. We finished our visit with some sweets. They have some delicious baklava, that also won’t disappoint.

We would love to head in again soon and try their grilled meats. It’ll definitely be worth keeping the kids up a little later! We also will be checking out their Feed Me menu! Don’t hold off on heading in here. They’ve got a lot of surprises in store in the future too, so keep your eyes peeled out. They’ll have you returning...

Lovely local dining. Unpretentious which for me is a big plus! And delicious food! The Turkish bread must be homemade it’s so soft and beautifully fresh - cooked to perfection I think. A finicky comment, but the halloumi does taste a bit more salty than I’d like today, but i think that’s just personal preference and because I’ve paired with the tomatoes and mushrooms which both have added salt/salty flavours (deliciously so!) but overall the whole meal is great and very reasonable in today’s costly brunch world. Lovely coffee too.

Compliments to the chef for some beautiful scrambled eggs inspired by Greek flavours of olive oil and parsley - really delicious. There’s a full house here atm, which for a Wednesday morning is a grand sign of consistently delicious food and the perfect atmosphere. Not too loud either 🎉

The caring staff is a big plus from my perspective. Served straight away and coffee within minutes, warmly checked on while I’ve been here as well. I’ve been served by the older of the two waitresses before and you can tell she really cares and know the menu so well - she cares greatly about this business and that comes across. Everyone is wearing a smile and that’s a sign of great company culture which in a cafe environment...

I dropped into Parcha for lunch today and ironically had breakfast instead. The decor retains the basic layout from the previous cafe so it's familiar but has a number of improvements. The bench seating is comfortable. The bright off white that looks a little sterile from outside is actually warm inside. I was seated promptly and given a menu. My order was taken about 5 minutes after I was seated. The food took quite a while to come I arrived at 12.06 and food was on my table at 12.29. The breakfast burger was simply enormous and I deconstructed it to eat it too avoid getting it everywhere. There was a nice tasting relish and the cheese variety's blended well and were tasty. I would have liked my eggs a little less cooked and wasn't asked how I wanted them. The bacon was well cooked and tasty. The bread was excellent. I forgot to ask for no avo but munched my way through that until I simply couldn't eat more leaving a bit behind. The meal was certainly tasty but is a little expensive for a lunch feed really in such a competitive area. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The babbling gossips on the next table were great free...
