Brunch Quebec: where to eat in the morning in Old Quebec and Petit-Champlain
The perfect brunch starts with an espresso. Guide to the best morning spots in Old Quebec, with the complete offer from Carrera Café to start the day in pole position.
Morning in Old Quebec
Before the tourists arrive
There is something magical about Old Quebec at 8 a.m. The cobblestones still shine with dew, the shops haven't opened yet, and the cafés begin to spread their first roasting aromas. It's the best time to explore.
Le Petit-Champlain in particular offers an incomparable morning atmosphere. Calm, bright, almost silent. A coffee in one hand, a focaccia in the other: that's how to start a day in Quebec City.
At Carrera Café, the starting line sounds as soon as it opens.
