Brunch Quebec historic district: late breakfast at Carrera Cafe

Brunch is Sunday morning’s race. You take your time, but don’t miss any turns. At Carrera Cafe, late breakfast is a Petit-Champlain institution.

The Carrera Brunch

Late Breakfast in Petit-Champlain

Not too early, not too late. Brunch time at Carrera is whenever you choose. The kitchen is ready when you are.


At Carrera Cafe, brunch is the slow version of our menu. No rush, no timed service. You settle in, order, and come back. The products are the same as during the week: organic Charlevoix charcuterie, Quebec cheeses, bread from Boulangerie Borderon et Fils. The difference: morning sun, a table by the window, and a latte that takes its time.

The Brunch Menu

Plates & Boards

A short menu that goes straight to the point. Each plate is designed for a long morning.


Classic

Morning Focaccia - Borderon et Fils

Olive oil spread, fresh cheese, seasonal herbs. The morning toast revisited in an Italian version. Crispy, generous, satisfying.

Vege

Quebec Cheese Platter

Selection of 3 to 4 aged cheeses, honey, walnuts, compote. The version without charcuterie, with just as much character. For mornings when you prefer calm over strong flavors.

Brunch Drinks

Coffee, Latte & Juice

A brunch without good coffee is like a circuit without mechanics. Here, both are taken seriously.


Summer

Iced Latte - Weekend Version

In summer, brunch on the terrace automatically calls for an iced latte. Espresso over cold milk, crushed ice. Instantly summery, immediately perfect.

Barista's advice

For brunch: start with a simple espresso. It wakes you up. Then move on to the latte. It accompanies. Finish with a ristretto if your eyes start to close. Carrera has handled tough mornings since its creation.

The Historic District in the Morning

Petit-Champlain & Old Quebec

Petit-Champlain in the morning is the circuit before the spectators. Quiet, beautiful, yours.


Old Quebec on Saturday or Sunday morning, before 10am, is a privilege. The cobblestone alleys of Petit-Champlain are almost deserted. The light is soft, art galleries start to open, vendors set up their stalls. And Carrera is already open, the espresso is ready.

Perfect brunch itinerary

Arrive at Carrera at 9:30am. Order the board and a latte. Eat slowly. Leave around 11am for a stroll through the alleys. Return before the tourists arrive in droves. You had the best of Petit-Champlain before everyone else.
