read moreThe Paragon restaurant in Katoomba is a historic and vintage gem, dating back to the 1900s with a classic ambiance. However, recent reviews have highlighted issues with the service, staff attitude, and overall cleanliness of the establishment. Despite the charming decor and passionate owner, some customers have experienced rude wait staff and unorganized service. The food and coffee are decent, but the high prices and lack of customer care have left a sour taste for some patrons. On the other hand, many appreciate the nostalgic feel of the place, reminiscent of a bygone era with delicious chocolates and traditional meals. Overall, while the Paragon cafe offers a unique experience with its rich history, it may not be everyone's cup of tea due to inconsistent service and high prices.
