Market Focaccia

Each season brings its toppings. In summer, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. In autumn, wild mushrooms and melted cheese. In winter, nuts and local honey. A way to make the bread travel according to the local producers' calendar.

Quebec Cheese Board

Three to five cheeses from Quebec producers, chosen for the diversity of textures and aging. Soft cheese, semi-firm, cave-aged. Accompanied by seasonal jam and roasted nuts. An invitation to explore Quebec’s dairy terroir.

Grand Prix Platter

The full formula, for competitive appetites. Charcuterie from Charlevoix, Quebec cheeses, house focaccia, marinated olives, and marinated vegetables. A platter to share between two or three, perfect for an evening that starts well before the finish line.

Organic Charcuterie from Charlevoix

The Charlevoix region has been recognized for decades for the quality of its artisanal charcuterie. Producers committed to sustainable farming practices, raising their animals outdoors and producing exceptional pieces. This level of excellence is what Carrera Café chooses to highlight on its platters.

Cheesemakers of Quebec

Since the 1980s, Quebec’s artisanal cheesemaking has experienced a remarkable revival. Dozens of producers across all regions now offer cheeses of a quality comparable to the best European appellations. Carrera Café selects them carefully, rotating according to seasons and arrivals.

Boulangerie Borderon et Fils

The bread that goes with everything. Boulangerie Borderon et Fils carries on a traditional craft with carefully selected flours and long fermentations. Carrera Café’s focaccia owes much to this collaboration, which places the quality of bread on the same level as that of coffee.

Charlevoix Platter and House Cocktail

Salty charcuterie and smoky notes pair perfectly with a Negroni or a Spritz with vermouth. The bitterness of the cocktail balances the richness of the meats. For those who prefer non-alcoholic, an artisanal ginger beer works wonders. To learn more, read our article on Carrera Café cocktails.

Cheeses and Specialty Coffee

The cheese-coffee pairing is less common than cheese-wine, but it offers remarkable surprises. An intense espresso with a creamy soft cheese. A velvety flat white with an aged cheese. The acidity of specialty coffee cleanses the palate between each bite, like a mirrored pairing.

Board and Homemade Mulled Wine

In winter, the combination of charcuterie board and homemade mulled wine is unbeatable. The spices of the mulled wine, notes of cinnamon and anise, resonate with the aromas of dried charcuterie. A pairing that warms you twice, in the glass and on the plate. To learn more about mulled wine, read our article on winter in Petit-Champlain.

The Winning Combination

For a complete aperitif in all seasons: Charlevoix board, seasonal focaccia, a glass of choice, and an espresso to finish. This sequence represents the essence of what Carrera Café offers: exceptional local products, in a unique motorsport setting, in the heart of Quebec’s most beautiful neighborhood.

For Groups

For a group of 4 or more, ask for the Pit Stop option: two combined boards, generous focaccia, assortment of drinks. A way to share that fits well with the spirit of Carrera Café, where even the aperitif is experienced like a race moment, as a team and at full speed.
