Latest critic review: August 18, 2010

Former private club with a spectacular view...

Formerly a members-only space, the bar and restaurant on the top three floors feature a restaurant, private dining room and bar on the 32nd floor and a champagne and viewing gallery on the top floor of the Centre Point building. The interior design is by Tom Dixon and head chef is Colin Layfield formerly at L'Odeon, serving up a predominantly British menu.

"It's pretty good, though, giving the lie to the old saw that a restaurant with a view automatically means a duff dinner. READ REVIEW

"The service is pleasant, and efficient enough, but devoid of pretensions, and the food is likewise." READ REVIEW

"We were sitting in the Red Room, in hues of scarlet and bronze, decorated with pots of white mophead hydrangeas, looking west as the sun set and the light turned golden. I’ve had few more memorable meals." READ REVIEW

"...the Paramount restaurant, on the thirty-second floor of one of London's least-loved landmarks, is a shock - because it's really quite good." READ REVIEW

"...it's worth stomaching the food to drink in the view." READ REVIEW

"It’s noisy, look-at-me food – but then, the view is like that too. You don’t go to Paramount to be shy and stare at beige walls and eat pared-down food." READ REVIEW

"I’m here again for more staggering daytime views, good tapas (salt cod croquettes, Moorish lamb kebabs) and solicitous service." READ REVIEW

Had a great meal and evening last Saturday evening. There was faultless great food (starters; venison & scallops/chorizo, mains were monkfish, steak), amazing window seat views, good friendly staff, all wonderful. We had 2 courses & a bottle champers for under £170 which i thought was ok priced for the quality food we got and the unique location. Busy when we left and the bar on upper floor packed and cold so not great but food/restaurant were.
