The Petit Champlain District is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places in the world, with its cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and intimate atmosphere making it the perfect setting for a romantic evening in Quebec. And if your dinner ended (or started!) at Carrera Café, here’s how to compose the ideal table.

For two: start gently

The best evenings start unhurried. Choose a starter to share:

• Burrata and Crispy Prosciutto ($28) — Creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto, fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, focaccia croutons, olive oil, and balsamic glaze. The most romantic plate on the menu, without a doubt.
• Warm Goat Cheese Salad ($18) — Fresh arugula, melting warm goat cheese, caramelized nuts, honey, house vinaigrette, and balsamic glaze. Light, elegant, perfect to start the appetite.

The main course: a chance to indulge

For a memorable evening, choose our signature dishes. The Risotto ai Funghi Porcini is a house classic — creamy, fragrant, generous. For meat lovers, our Beef Tartare is made to order, with traditional condiments and a touch of old-fashioned mustard. Two dishes that deserve a glass of wine alongside.

Dessert: ending on a high note

A romantic evening doesn’t end without a shared dessert. Our Homemade Tiramisu is a classic: light mascarpone, espresso-soaked Carrera biscuits, cocoa powder. Simple, perfect, timeless. Perfectly paired with a final double espresso.
