I often gravitate towards restaurants off the beaten path. The main criteria I use when deciding upon whether to eat somewhere, or return to a place I have dined at before, are whether it’s low-key, affordable, and serves good food. The Paramount is one such place, and I inevitably dine there at least once whenever I am back in Boston.
The Paramount is located on Charles Street, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. I recommend you try this place when you need a good breakfast or lunch destination – preferably on a weekday, as it can get very crowded on weekends.
The Paramount has a very interesting setup that deserves mention; you place your order at the counter, and then wait on line to pay at the cash register. The line can be long, but moves quickly; and your order is almost always ready by the time you get to the register. It’s a very efficient setup, and I’ve always been able to find seating by the time my order is ready, no matter how crowded the tables are when I get on line. You can also browse The Paramount’s menu on Unimenu (link) before you get there to improve efficiency!
