Public markets are the soul of a city. In Quebec, they are where residents gather on Saturday mornings, where regional producers showcase the best of their harvest.

THE OLD PORT MARKET: AN INSTITUTION

The Old Port Market of Quebec is undoubtedly the most well-known in the region. Located right in the heart of the Lower Town, just a few minutes’ walk from Carrera Café, it brings together dozens of local producers every week: vegetables, cheeses, charcuterie, honey, breads. A must-visit to understand the Quebec that eats well.

CHARLEVOIX, LOWER COAST, AND QUEBEC REGION

The producers who come to the market often come from far away: Charlevoix, Île d'Orléans, Côte-de-Beaupré. At Carrera Café, our organic Charlevoix charcuterie and local cheeses come from these same regions. When you taste them with us, you’re eating what the market sells on Saturday morning.

MARKET AND CAFÉ: A NATURAL ROUTE

Saturday morning: first the Old Port market, then Carrera Café for an espresso before heading home. It’s a short circuit, in every sense of the word. Two stops that complement each other. The city at its best.
