Perles et Paddock

Ce qui nous allume ?

C’est d’offrir des moments de plaisir qui ont des impacts positifs sur le quotidien de ceux qui fréquentent le P & P. La relation symbiotique entre notre équipe et la clientèle est ce qui stimule notre recherche de nouveaux vins, la création de nouveaux desserts, tapas et cocktails. Cette relation est non seulement notre fierté, mais elle est également à la base de la satisfaction de nos clients et du succès du Perles et Paddock.

C’est qui le coupable ?

Né à Montréal en 1979, Maxime Perrault est initié à la cuisine et au service en 1996 aux restaurants La Cuccina et la Spagettata du boulevard St-Laurent et de l’avenue Laurier. Durant les 13 années suivantes, Maxime sera bartender, gérant ou directeur dans différents types d’établissements tels que le Misto, Chez Gauthier, l’Amphithéâtre Medley, les croisières AML, le restaurant Thaï Grill ou encore le Pub St-Élisabeth et la Rhumerie Barraca. En 2009, il s’associe et ouvre le bar l’Abreuvoir qu’il opèrera durant 5 ans. Les 5 années passées dans le monde du divertissement permettront à Maxime de développer une passion pour l’expérience client. Effectivement, le bar étudiant d’une capacité de 500 personnes deviendra le théâtre d’expérimentations créatives, délirantes, actuelles et rassembleuses, souvent grâce à la mise en valeur des talents émergents. Maxime aura d’ailleurs contribué au retour en force de la scène burlesque à Mtl et aux soirées d’humour dédiées à la relève.

Aujourd’hui Maxime adore aider à créer ou bonifier des concepts pour les entreprises, vous pouvez le rencontrer au P & P, ou solliciter ses services en tant que branding & concept designer.

« Rien du Perles et Paddock d’hier et d’aujourd’hui n’aurait été possible sans cette femme qui habite mon cœur, ma maison et la convention d’actionnaires. Mon feu d’artifice, Jessica Goulet. », Maxime Perrault.

The history of the spot

We all know the story of the ugly duckling who turns into a beautiful swan. Well, that fairytale is the most apt description of the real-life metamorphosis of this Griffintown auto-body repair shop in June 2017. No one wanted anything to do with this run-down, cracked, moisture-ridden building—until we had the idea of turning it into a space with a timeless, airy, lush, and luminous design, with a huge skylight to help hanging plants grow and a natural tree holding court in the middle of the room. The result is sexy, refreshing and exotic: a cosy corner of the city like no other.

The café + bar + tapas concept

Café by day, tapas bar by night.

We believe great food and drink amplify the joy of time spent together with friends or family. And that by serving you refined, sought-after products of the highest quality, assembled by our chefs, mixologists, sommeliers and pastry chefs, in a setting as resplendent as P&P, we help you put together moments of perfection.

What fires us

We aim to provide moments of enjoyment that have positive impacts on the day-to-day of everyone who visits P&P. The symbiotic relationship between our team and our patrons is what drives us to seek out new wines and create new desserts, tapas and cocktails for you. That relationship is not only a source of pride for us; it’s the very foundation of the satisfaction of our customers and the success of Perles et Paddock.

The guilty party

Born in Montréal in 1979, Maxime Perrault started learning the cooking and service trades in 1996 with stints at the La Cuccina and Spaghettata restaurants on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Laurier Avenue. Over the next 13 years, he worked as a bartender and manager in a variety of establishments including Misto, Chez Gauthier, the Medley show bar, AML Cruises, Thaï Grill, Pub St-Élisabeth, and Barraca Rum Bar. In 2009, with partners, he opened L’Abreuvoir and ran it for five years. Those years spent in the entertainment industry helped Maxime hone his passion for customer experience, as the student bar with a capacity of 500 grew into a venue for experimentations running the gamut from creative to outrageous, trendy and inclusive, often by highlighting emerging talents. Among other things, Maxime played a part in the resurgence of the burlesque scene in Montréal and hosted comedy nights featuring up-and-coming performers.

Today Maxime loves creating and tweaking concepts for businesses: you can come and talk to him at P&P, or hire his services as a branding and concept designer.

“None of what we’ve achieved at Perles et Paddock, in both its old and new incarnations, would have been possible without the woman who lives in my heart and my home (and in our shareholders agreement!). My spark and flame, Jessica Goulet.” – Maxime Perrault
