Paramount Restaurants

Following its acquisition of more than 50 Caffè Unos in 2005, Paramount moved from a specialist London operator into a sizeable force in the UK restaurant sector. Christie + Co assisted with a strategic review which led the company to decide to focus on its French brands and to sell non-core brands and sites.

Christie + Co’s specialist team was appointed to offer 37 properties for sale, including the renowned Bertorelli group of central London restaurants. Through a carefully controlled and structured process Christie + Co are negotiating deals on the sites, allowing Paramount to press ahead with its plans and providing other operators with opportunities to buy sites that would rarely be offered to the market.
