Sunday brunch
at Carrera Café

Sunday morning has its own rhythm. Specialty coffee, Borderon et Fils viennoiseries, relaxed Italian atmosphere in the heart of Petit-Champlain. A break that feels like a victory.

On track from 9 AM

Before the first bite, there is coffee. A tight espresso, a velvety flat white, or hand-drawn latte art. The start of the day deserves pole position.

  • 01
    Barista's espresso
    A short, concentrated, balanced shot. The base of everything. Selection of Italian roasted beans to reveal cocoa, hazelnut, and bright acidity.
  • 02
    Sunday flat white
    Double ristretto, micro-textured milk foam, reduced cup. Shorter than a latte, more intense than a cappuccino. A champion's choice.
  • 03
    Latte art for the curious
    Rosetta, tulip, or heart drawn free-pour. Every cup is a moment of craftsmanship. Our barista prepares yours according to the morning mood.
  • 04
    Seasonal filter coffee
    For those who prefer slow, a selection of single-origin coffees prepared by filter. Fruity notes, long finishes, cup after cup.
Barista's advice

On Sundays, we take our time. Start with an espresso to awaken the senses, then relax with a flat white or a latte. Two cups are better than one in paddock mode.

A complete circuit

A combo designed for lingering. No rush, no timer. Just the pleasure of Italian-style breakfast, just steps from the Petit-Champlain alleys.

Borderon et Fils at the heart of brunch

Every Sunday, deliveries arrive early. Butter bread, croissant, Italian-style brioche: everything comes fresh from the oven at Boulangerie Borderon et Fils, our artisan partner since the beginning.

✥ SEASON
Butter croissant
Precise layering, uniform golden color, butter present in every layer. A classic artisanal style, irresistible alongside an espresso.
ARTISAN
Grilled country bread
Thick slice grilled on the spot, served with fromage blanc and homemade jam. Brunch in its most honest version.
NEW
Morning focaccia
Focaccia with fleur de sel and rosemary, olive oil, black olives. A nod to Italy to start the day off right.
On the podium

La Carrera Brioche is our Sunday centerpiece. Produced exclusively for us by Borderon et Fils, it sells out fast. Arrive before 10:30 am to not miss the last ones.
