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.

The best pancakes i have ever had. Crispy on the outside but has a fluffy taste.
The place has cramped seating and they did not seem to take reservations. But the place clears up soon and as many reviewers have mentioned, it is worth the wait

The Paramount has been there for a longgg time. Located in a historical preserved side of Boston. Pretty neighborhood. This place tends to be very busy most of the time. Expect a bit of waiting. It offers a relatively typical brunch menu. What stood out was their Brioche French toast, recommend it. Overall it was decent.

I was there for brunch for the first visit. The place is small and we waited for about 20 minutes but it definitely worth it because the quality of the food was the best.
I ordered buttermilk pancakes and my husband ordered Huevos Rancheros and our friend ordered sunset omelette. The portion of the food was perfectly enough. It’s a place that would become my resort.

We stumbled on this quaint little restaurant after not being able to get reservations somewhere else around lunch time. Looking at the menu, it had a little bit of everything. I got the French toast, and wow! It was amazing!! Also had an iced chai, great! Service was a little meh, but that’s something we faced a lot in Boston. We ask to be sat outside due to the inside being very tight and we had a stroller with 2 kiddos, it was such a nice day and worked out. But they were initially not very accommodating when we asked about a table. The French toast definitely won me over.

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.

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.

The pancakes with strawberries and blueberries were fantastic. The hot chocolate was also above average.

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.

I visited Boston for my 33rd birthday and ate breakfast here. It must be a popular place because it was packed & the line went out the door. This croissant breakfast sandwich was worth the wait & so delicious. I still think about it being back in Washington. It's a must try if you ever dine in.

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.

This is a great local eatery! Splendid food full of flavor and very delicious! Service was quick and kind, fairly busy for a Monday brunch and we got serviced quick! We went with outdoor seating and it was the right call! It was a good day when we went and had a great time relaxing curbside eating our brunch. Great spot and will look forward to coming here again!
