ParmaDaze has a bit of a storied history with this place, and by this “place” I mean this address. 524 Macaulay Road Kensington is a building we have visited before. First in 2012 when it was known as Tonik, then again in 2015 when it became the Lost & Found Tattoo Parlour. After Lost & Found closed up (disappointing, as I quite enjoyed their parma) 524 Macaulay opened up again as Mr. Griffiths, a pub that focused on serving authentic, cheese curd laden poutine - I was sure that would be a goer, as who doesn’t love chips covered in cheese and gravy, and whenever we dropped into the nearby Hardimans or Kensington Food Hall Mr. Griffiths always seemed to be pumping.

So imagine my surprise when I find out that Mr. Griffiths has inexplicably gone the way of the Dodo, and in its place is a new bar/restaurant - One named Melba Social with a focus on good food, cocktails and craft beer, and even more importantly… They have a parma on the menu.

So for the third time, we loaded up the parma bus and headed to 524 Macaulay Road, and for the first time to Melba Social.
