We came to the Paragon Cafe for breakfast, I haven’t been here since I was 12. The atmosphere and even the decor looks the same, in saying that it’s not a bad thing. Our server Donna was amazing, a big “Gold Star” 🌟. Very attentive and just that good old country charm. The food was just yum and huge portions. …
Paragon Cafe is nice cafe the staff was nice and welcoming to newcomers from Canberra and visiting Goulburn
I’ve been coming to the Paragon since I was 9 years old. In my career I travelled extensively throughout NSW and Vic and NEVER missed the opportunity to visit.

Only ever had great meals at the Paragon. Just had the Fillet Plaka, best steak I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Delicious and great value! Staff are fantastic too!

Fantastic lunch with the charm and character one misses these days. Our server, of mature years, was delightful, helpful and efficient without being overly attentive. Our meals were generous and delicious. Loads of chicken in the salad and the pattie substantive. Looved the beetroot. The lunch special included a slice of cake and a drink. Everything was at the comfy …
An Institution in Goulburn. Has been trading here for Many Many Decades ! Located on Auburn street in the Middle of Town. Used to stop here on the way to the Snowy Mountains ages ago for a Raisin Toast and a Hot Chocolate. Had a Large Flat White Coffee and a Raisin Toast. Both were good.
