Tailor-made F&B consulting agency specialized in opening restaurant, bakery, pastry shop and managing the F&B concept for hotel owners
With our expertise and savoir-faire, let’s build together your successful project!

What is Projet Food?

Who? Founded by Marie Saby Gagnon, passionate about gastronomy and hospitality with more than 10 years experience launching restaurants, bakeries, pastry shops, and defining F&B concepts for hotel owners alongside Michelin starred chef.
Why? Many people dream of opening a restaurant but don’t know where to start, who to turn to, or what the key steps are…or they simply want to delegate the entire process.
Unfortunately, without the right knowledge, the risks increase: going over budget, delays in construction, and equipment that doesn’t meet the needs of the staff or customers.
