Paquebot

What’s Paquebot’s story?

​

We are passionate about food, music, wine, and we've decided to open a coffee shop in Rosemont eight years ago. Since then, an partnership with ZAB, three other cafés in Montreal, and one in Gaspé emerged.

​

We worked in the world of catering, both in the kitchen, in service and sommelier, with great respect for quality and the land. Simon, a world traveler and sommelier who fell in love with Australia's coffee culture; Sam, also a restaurant owner and a great project enthusiast; Edwin, who, after having worked in the restaurant industry, got into the world of coffee and found that there was a lack of coffee companies from Quebec. The three form a thundering trio at the head of PAQUEBOT / ZAB
