I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! Every time I visit, it’s an amazing experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the staff goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I love that they have a little playground—it’s such a thoughtful touch for families. My kids always have a great time, and the service is consistently excellent. This place has become a favorite for my family, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!

Our hockey team decided to have dinner at this restaurant after a late game and the staff were amazing!! We were a large group and they were able to accommodate us with very little notice. Our waiter Rakan was especially friendly and helpful. The food here is top notch and the portions are bigger here than at other Paramount locations that I’ve visited in Toronto. I would highly recommend eating here.

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our meals and the excellent service provided by Rakan and Morgan! The food was delicious and came out quickly. The service was great. Rakan made sure to check in regularly to ensure we were satisfied with our meals.
