A unique, non-pretentious dispenser of grilled and fried Mexican style food in a small shop on Chestnut. Everyone walks in and orders their meal from the selections on the overhead menu. The cook and his staff prepare it and then you pick a table and regale is generous, delicious delight. I recommend the table by the open front window.
We were in town for a birthday celebration and didn't want to eat at the hotel. We walked by the Paramont, and looked at the menu and decided to go in. (Were from the South Shore) It was low key, fun place with an open kitchen and lots of family's laughing. I got a glass of wine and my boyfriend got a beer. We both ordered the cheeseburger and seriously it was the best burger I had ever had, seriously!!! I wrote a little note to our waiter Emmet, who was very friendly but gave us our space to chat and eat. Awesome experience!
Would highly recommend their buttermilk pancakes!!!
As someone who likes waffles more, their pancakes are what I’ll be coming back to The Paramount for! Ordered chocolate chip with banana and a side of bacon to complete the brunch meal. The waffles are also worth a try! All other dishes ordered were okay, typical breakfast items that you would find.
The Paramount is straight up a breakfast/brunch spot that has become a go-to in Beacon Hill. Worth a try when you’re around exploring the area.
Great food, if you can tolerate the queue. We ordered 4 things in total - Paramount breakfast, Huevos Rancheros, buttermilk pancakes, and waffle.
The paramount breakfast is your typical American breakfast done really well. It's basically 2 eggs served the any way you prefer, 2 slices of toast, coffee, baked potatoes, and your choice of meat. I got bacon and that was cooked to perfection.
The Huevos Rancheros was good but nothing special. The chorizo was a bit bland but complimented the rest of the dish.
I would say the best thing to order would be the buttermilk pancakes. We had ours cooked with chocolate chip and served with banana slices. I would come back specifically for this dish.
Delicious food as always. Had the Homemade Quinoa-Black Beans Burger and the Tofu Burrito Bowl. We were full and yet wanted to have more. The only small complaint was that the delicious cookies and cream milkshake was too thick for the skinny straw. Would definitely recommend the place though.
Walked down charming old Charles street to find this cute breakfast spot. Service was attentive, friendly and fast. Food was really great! Tried Huervous Ranchero and Bagel Breakfast Sandwich..will Def go back to try other menu items!
5/11/23-another great meal after appointment at MGH, walked down, had pancakes and wrap! always good!
The food was good, and the service was fast and friendly. Very cute spot in a good location.
Recently took a visit to check out this popular brunch spot in the neighborhood. Paramount didn’t take reservations, but we were fortunate to grab a table in less than 15 minutes. Once seated, the food and drinks came out fairly quickly. The orange juice was slightly too sweet for our taste, but the food was great overall. My favorites were the grilled fajita steak and eggs and the Nutella waffle. The Latin American influence on the classic steak and eggs was good, and I also liked that the waffle wasn’t overly sweet despite the Nutella topping.
With the lack of hearty breakfast options in the area, Paramount is definitely a great option for breakfast or brunch if you’re looking for diner food. However, expect a longer wait if your party is more than 4 people.
Incredible breakfast food! I really want to know how they get their fries this crunchy…
The staff was fine, but a bit strange at times. A waiter brought us the check without us asking for it; felt like we were being nudged out. But we still wanted to order dessert, which he really didn’t seem happy about, and felt the need to show it. Everything worked out in the end. Just an annoying interaction, hence the -1 star.
Tasty brunch but a bit pricey. We had 12 people and were sat pretty quickly on a Sunday morning which was surprising but great! Huevos rancheros and salmon benedict were both good.
Sunday brunch at paramount. Came early (before 9:30 am) expecting there to be a wait, and there was. Not all too bad though, we were sat within 20 minutes. Wait staff was pleasant and the food was pretty great. The Bellini was really tasty. I’d definitely dine here again for a nice no frills brunch.
The pancakes with strawberries and blueberries were fantastic. The hot chocolate was also above average.
