Charcuterie and cheeses from Quebec: the best platters to share in Old Quebec
Organic Charcuterie from Charlevoix, aged cheeses from Quebec, artisanal Borderon and Fils focaccia. At Carrera Café, the platter is an ode to the local terroir, served in a racing-themed setting in Petit-Champlain.
Why local?
The short supply chain as a philosophy
A successful platter is first and foremost a story of origin. When you know where each product comes from, tasting changes nature. It becomes a conversation with the terroir.
Carrera Café has chosen Quebec from the start: organic charcuterie from Charlevoix, artisanal cheeses from the province, local bakery bread. Not out of obligation, but conviction.
Like in Grand Prix, victory is in the details. And here, every detail comes from Quebec.
Organic Charcuterie from Charlevoix
Pole Position Selection
Charlevoix is one of the richest gastronomic regions in Quebec. Its organic charcuterie producers have developed expertise that rivals the best European houses. Aged hams, dry sausages, herb rillettes. Products that tell the story of an entire region.

Cheeses from Quebec
The Refined Selection
Québec has been producing fine cheeses for several decades that rival the great French or Italian AOCs. At Carrera Café, the cheese selection is renewed seasonally to always offer what is at its best.
Firm cheese
Golden crust, hazelnut flavor. Perfect with dry charcuterie.
Soft cheese
Creamy, melting, slightly lactic. The star of the board.
Aged in cellar
Character, complexity, long finish. For enthusiasts.
Borderon et Fils focaccia
The bread that changes everything
Borderon et Fils bakery is one of Québec’s most respected artisanal addresses. Their focaccia, kneaded every morning, arrives at Carrera Café still warm. Airy crumb, thin golden crust, olive oil upfront. It’s like no other.
Artisanal focaccia
Natural sourdough, stone oven baking, fleur de sel, fresh rosemary. Delivered every morning from Borderon et Fils bakery.

"A cheese board calls for a crisp white wine or a light red. But don’t underestimate a good espresso served at the end of the board: it cleanses the palate and makes room for dessert."
