Café Pavé

Matthew Schnarch worked for many years in the restaurant business, so there is little the chef does not know about the industry. However, Matthew hasn't always been a restaurateur; he started out in education, but the environment was too stressful and demanding. "I loved to cook. I tried it and I liked it," says Matthew, who has worked for a number of seasoned chefs who have greatly helped him to perfect his art.

After his first son was born, Matthew decided he wanted more control over his time. He worked as a caterer for a while, but the job was impersonal and repetitive. Matthew's dream was to work in  place where he could  interact with people. In 2011, he found the ideal premises at 243 Notre-Dame Street West, and finally embarked on his adventure by opening Café Pavé. It also gave him the opportunity to work only during the day, something he had always desired.
