Brunch in Quebec
Brunch has become much more than just a meal in Quebec. A weekend ritual, a moment to slow down in a city that invites you to take your time.
In Old Quebec, brunch takes on a special dimension: the cobblestone streets, the morning light on the old stones, the warmth of a well-made coffee. It’s hard to start a day more pleasantly. Before heading out to explore Petit Champlain and its alleys, a good brunch changes everything.
Start with coffee
First step ★
Carrera Café — Petit Champlain
Before choosing where to brunch, start with the essentials. A well-extracted ristretto, a latte with well-textured milk, a cold brew if the season allows. The neighborhood is best discovered when you’re fully awake, and specialty coffee makes all the difference.
Brunch according to the season
In summer, as soon as the heat sets in: an iced latte or a frappé coffee on the terrace. Old Quebec at its best. In winter, you seek warmth, a cozy atmosphere, fogged-up windows. Old Quebec is especially beautiful in the morning before the visitors arrive. It’s the time to settle somewhere well heated and watch the snowy alleys from a good table.
Building your perfect morning
The recommended plan: start at Carrera Café for the morning espresso, then walk to Place Royale and the riverfront. After an hour of wandering around the neighborhood, settle somewhere for brunch, then continue exploring the Upper Town in the afternoon. Old Quebec is experienced at the pace of its cafés and tables.
