Paquebot Cafe's Old Montreal café is on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, close to the old port and a short walk from the tourist centre. The bright, casual space has a busy counter, coffee bags and seasonal drink posters.
Paquebot opened its original Bélanger cafe in La Petite-Patrie in 2015. The Old Montreal location serves ZAB-linked coffee, guest roasters, iced drinks and light food, with beans to take home.
