We had our Christmas day lunch at Le Paragon and were not disappointed. The food was up there with the best — I had a Beef Wellington that was truly melt in the mouth and everything besides was fantastic. It was a pleasure to be given such a warm welcome and attentive service, they couldn't have done more. I will definitely be coming back to try their usual menu. Big thumbs up from me.
