Cocktail bar Old Quebec: the buvette at Carrera Cafe after sunset
The checkered flag falls. The room changes pace. The buvette takes over. At Carrera, the evening starts when the day ends well.
La Buvette Carrera
Bar & Cocktails in Petit-Champlain
In Old Quebec, few places make the morning coffee to evening buvette transition as naturally. The Carrera does.
The buvette at Carrera Cafe is the least well-kept secret of Petit-Champlain. The same space, the same spirit, but the light changes, the cocktails arrive, and the conversation takes longer than an espresso. It’s the place where tourists become regulars for an evening.
Seasonal cocktails, natural wines, small sharing menu: the Carrera buvette is made for evenings that start with one drink and end with three.
La Buvette - Spirit and Menu
Crafted cocktails, natural wines from small producers, selection of Italian digestifs. Short menu, designed by season, served by a team that knows its products.
Seasonal Cocktails
Carrera Cocktail Menu
Each cocktail has a name. Each name tells a race. The menu changes when the season changes.
Le Pit Stop — Seasonal Spritz
Aperol or Campari, natural sparkling wine, sparkling water. The mandatory break before the evening grand prix. Light, bitter, perfect for the late afternoon terrace.
Le Podium — Sicilian Negroni
Gin, red vermouth, Campari, candied orange. A classic build, served cold, sipped slowly. Winter in Petit-Champlain in a glass.
La Pole Position — Mezcal Sour
Smoked mezcal, lemon, egg white, red salt. Complex, tactile, lasting. The Carrera cocktail that comes up in conversations the next day.
The Wine List
Natural & Biodynamic Wines
No big appellations. Winemakers who work the vine, not the labels. A short, lively, changing selection.
Carrera Natural Wines
Light reds, textured whites, natural sparkling wines. Wines that speak of their place, unadorned. Our selection changes with the seasons and arrivals. Ask our team: they know every bottle.
Evening Pairings
Bar & Gastronomy
A cocktail without something to nibble on is like a track without turns. The Carrera bar offers an evening menu built to last.
Negroni + Charcuterie Board
The bitterness of Campari cuts through the richness of Charlevoix charcuterie. A great classic of Italian tradition that Carrera practices without hesitation in Quebec.
Natural Wine + Quebec Cheeses
An oxidative white or a light red paired with local cheeses: the favorite style exercise of our evening tables.
