The Farmacy

All-day Parkville cafe-restaurant by the Children's Hospital serving butter chicken, cruffins and after-work drinks.

Bright, cosy all-rounder that shifts from a buzzing breakfast cafe to a warm dinner-and-drinks spot with dim lighting, taking on genuine restaurant polish by night despite its hospital-precinct location.

St Ali coffee, a proper wine list with happy hour cocktails and beer, a pram- and wheelchair-friendly layout with kids' colouring-in, and a location directly opposite the Royal Children's Hospital.

Eclectic modern-Australian menu spanning butter chicken, pizzas and classic brunch fare rather than a single culinary heritage.

Reasonably priced given its hospital-precinct location, though a few reviewers found individual dinner dishes like the parmigiana and eggs benedict underwhelming for the price.
