The region of great terroirs

Charlevoix is Quebec's most renowned gastronomic region. Between the cliffs of the Saguenay fjord, the riverside villages, and the mountains plunging into the water, the region hosts an exceptional concentration of producers, artisans, and restaurateurs who have made the Charlevoix terroir a national reference.

The cow's milk cheeses from Île-aux-Coudres, the lambs from Charlevoix, the organic charcuterie from Charlevoix: so many products that have traveled the region to be found on the best tables and cafés in Quebec. Including at Carrera Café, just steps from Château Frontenac.

The perfect appetizer

If you're heading for a weekend in Charlevoix, or even just a day, plan a morning stop at Carrera before hitting the road. It's the perfect appetizer for what's ahead: local products, attention to detail, and a focus on quality.

❖ BEFORE LEAVING AGAIN
The departure espresso

An espresso at Carrera before taking the 138 towards Charlevoix: it's the perfect ritual. Short, concentrated, energizing. The road to Charlevoix takes about an hour and a half from Quebec, and it's beautiful. Better to start with the right fuel.

✽ FOR THE ROAD
Board and focaccia before departure

If you leave early, the Carrera board with its Charlevoix charcuteries and homemade focaccia is the ideal breakfast before the road. Generous, local, nourishing: you'll arrive at your destination with an appetite sharpened for the day's discoveries.

Carrera is the start of the getaway and its natural conclusion. Like pole position and the podium: two distinct, equally precious moments for the same race.
