    For a dreary weekday morning, this place was packed; we got the last two top before a list started to form. I opted for the burrata avocado toast and it was decadent - from the sourdough bread to the egg, it was delicious and fresh. My husband opted for a breakfast sandwich and cleaned his plate. My latte was good. Service was incredibly quick. And the stacks of pancakes that kept going by our table looked incredible!

    We went to The Paramount on a friend's recommendation and we quickly got in line (it moves fast). We ended up rolling the dice and getting out of our comfort zone, completely impressed. The food was amazing and best part we were absolutely stuff! Highly recommend the Carmel & Banana French Toast!

    While in Boston we were looking for a good place for breakfast while exploring the area. We stopped in at the Paramount. We were greeted by a friendly face and seated immediately even though they were busy. I ordered the breakfast plate with 2 eggs, home fries, turkey bacon, and toast. The food was fresh and hot. They have an open kitchen and the staff were on point. The kitchen staff were sending out plates as fast as I've ever seen especially for an open kitchen. Even though I wasn't asked what kind of toast I wanted, and the grain bread I received wouldn't have been my first choice it was delicious. My only regret was not ordering the S'mores pancakes as well. I was super full but those pancakes sounded phenomenal. Would definitely stop in here again for breakfast if I'm ever back in Boston.

    Came in for some Brunch & let me start off by saying that this place is narrow. But there is seating outside in case you don't like narrow places. The food was great. I ordered a moscato and caramel and banana French toast. That indeed delicious, the host was very helpful and the food was delivered in a timely manner. This place was clean and well organized, I'll definitely make this place my stop next time I'm in Boston. Go Redsox.

    Homemade Quinoa-Black Bean Burger

    This place always has a line outside, but luckily we found the sweet spot and didn't have to wait too long. It's cozy inside with less than 20 tables and they are very close together. They offer a brunch menu so you could get breakfast or lunch depending on what you like. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine which came on multigrain bread. I was a little skeptical about it coming on bread instead of an english muffin but I was proven wrong, it was so good!!! I loved mine. The vegan burger was pretty good but a little dry. The huevos rancheros weren't anything to write home about but good. We did feel rushed because of the line so the food came quick and they were quick to bring the bill over once they observed you were close to being done. I'd come back for the Eggs Benedict and their pancakes looked good. What we ordered: Eggs Benedict Florentine Huevos Rancheros Quinoa Black Bean Burger Hot Chocolate Iced Chai

    The name of this restaurant is very fitting, given how absolutely phenomenal it is! If you're in the Beacon Hill area, don't miss the opportunity to feast on one of the many delectable dishes offered here!! I made the taco appetizer my dinner; each taco is $7 and worth every cent!! I ordered one chicken, one pulled pork, and one carne asada. Each one as delicious as the next!! Run, don't walk to The Paramount! You won't regret it!

    I was craving pancakes and they delivered with a substantial stack of three large pancakes - honestly my friend and I probably should've shared it was so much food. I went with the s'mores option and my friend had the blueberry and she definitely made the better choice. The "smores" just had mini marshmallows (not melted), banana, and graham crackers - no chocolate! The yellowish sauce you see in the pics is apparently "chocolate Boston cream sauce" but it didn't taste like chocolate at all and wasn't very appetizing looking. The overall effect very dry. I wound up scraping off the "toppings" and just going with some reliable maple syrup. Service was great though and I liked the ambiance so I'd go back, just not for the s'mores pancakes.

    Very cute neighborhood to grab breakfast/lunch, take a walk, and shop. It was a nice morning so we sat in the patio (big mistake). Food was decent and service was quick. The only issue we had were the yellow jacket bees/wasps that kept flying around us. We noticed the table next to us was dealing with the same issue. (We visited at the end of August). We ended up packing our food to go and eating it at the park nearby. Unfortunate but also didn't mind finishing our breakfast in the park.

    Traditional Bolognese
    Lynn J.

    We had been to the Paramount, for breakfast, and I fell in love with a French toast. So, we assumed the dinner food would be just as memorable... WRONG. I've never met a Bolognese I didn't like... Until now. Somehow, they managed to make a classic pasta dish, with rich, red meat, tangy tomato sauce, and salty cheese... Flavorless. I honestly thought I may have contracted Covid and lost my taste buds. So, I had my partner taste it too... Same response. All I can guess is that they made it with only ground beef, which is not what was advertised on the menu. The chef used almost no tomato sauce. Instead, they relied on heavy cream, which had very little flavor. Even the pasta was mushy and overcooked... so disappointing. The teriyaki stirfry was advertised as including carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers. We asked them to hold the peppers and assumed they would include extra vegetables or replace them with something else. Instead, they took away the peppers... And the carrots... Leaving us very little vegetables at all. THE DEAL: the Paramount is the place to be for brunch... but I would skip it for dinner!

    Good food. Didn't quite like the price on the mimosa pitcher seeing as it was sub par but other than that ambience was nice, good part of the city.

    The waiter was great, perhaps he was the manager for owner. For food we really wanted a light bite. I got one taco and hubby got a burger with coleslaw. When you sit down, they immediately bring over in housemade tortilla chips. So yummy and fresh. It comes with a very smooth Salsa type of sauce. Very nice touch since we were hungry. A nice menu, it is pricey, but given the location we expected that. We chose to eat inside, but there were are some nice tables outside. If you don't mind people walking by and seeing what you're eating.

    Paramount Breakfast

    Came here on Sunday around 12:30pm and the line was out the door, but only waited about 20 minutes. The inside is very cozy. I sat right by the cooking section, so it was so cute watching everything being cooked. My friend and I loved the French toast and paramount breakfast. Will come again!

    This place was great! We were from out of town and this is where we went to breakfast with family. The service was absolutely phenomenal from the top down. We had the huevos rancheros and the burrata caprese sunrise toast. Mine was the clear winner and was absolutely fantastic! As a side note: these may have been the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Crispy, well seasoned, tasty! There's a lot of tables outside and some inside. We sat outside. Can't comment on parking as we walked there. Please note we got there early and it was starting to get busy but by the time we were done there was a HUGE line. Will absolutely return when we are back in town.

She was so excited when she found Cafe Bonjour because they had several gluten-free options on the menu. We took an Uber there right after we landed and were able to walk right in and get a table when they opened, which worked out perfectly because the place started to fill up! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating inside, and they also had a nice outdoor parklet that would be great in good weather. We asked to sit at the bar so we could watch the cooks in action, which was really fun. The menu had all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs and French toast, along with some lunch options like hamburgers and chicken wraps. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the gluten-free eggs benedict and absolutely loved it. I had the Bonjour omelet, and it was delicious.

Other than that I'd stop somewhere else for a brunch.

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!

Won't go back. Wish I had pictures, sorry. I wasn't thinking about a review. After a 15/20 minute wait, in an effort to seat us quickly, they sat us at a table that was wet, with water, and sticky from what was presumably the last table's syrup. There were 2 open, used, nips of syrup on the table that they hadn't seen or bothering to pick up. The ambiance/decor was very confusing, a lot of colors and patterns. It wasn't quirky (I've been to quirky done well), it was bordering on scatterbrained? I joked that the place was meant to be visually confusing so that you wouldn't see the lack of cleanliness. We asked for napkins to wipe our table and we were given napkins to clean it ourselves. I mean sure it was what we had asked for but when I asked in the past, someone came over with a rag and cleaner and cleaned it for us so I was a little underwhelmed with that one. Also, the table was visibly not ready because my partner noticed some hesitation in the guy before he sat us and instead of saying, "wait let me get someone to clean it for you" he sat us anyway. The entire placed smelled like a mix of dirty water and wet dog. In all fairness we should've gotten up and walked out but the restaurant was packed, so we were assuming the food must be good and we were hungry. The first two appetizer plates were got were dirty and my boyfriend's silverware. We asked for new ones. The second two were also not exactly clean but not as bad as the first. We opted to eat our appetizer from the plate it came on. We ordered the Some Like it Tot. It was cool, nothing to write home about. Expected it to be more crunchy (they are tater tots after all). I ordered the mimosa flight. Only one of the drinks had any semblance of alcohol in it. They were... oddly not good? Like not bad, but not great. The flavors on the menu sounded like they should've been great together but what served me was disappointing. I got the cookie monster pancakes. Maybe 2 stars. Very mid and uninspired. Unimpressed. The pancakes were middle of the road. Not great not bed. Best thing about this place were the nips of maple syrup. My boyfriend ordered the Monster breakfast. Also mid. The home fries were not well seasoned. Will not be returning. I'm assuming they need to pay their staff better or hire ones who care or can cook. Our server was kind though.
