What to eat in Petit-Champlain: boards, focaccias, and local products

At Carrera Café, food is not an accompaniment. It is a statement. Quebec products, Italian recipes, each plate is a finish line.

The Culinary Philosophy
Simple, precise, local
No endless menu. No show cooking. Exceptional products, treated with respect and served generously.

The Carrera menu does not seek to impress by complexity. It seduces by the quality of the products and the accuracy of the combinations. Each dish is named after a circuit, each ingredient comes from a carefully chosen Quebec producer.

The cuisine here is Italian in spirit, Quebecois in ingredients. Organic Charcuterie from Charlevoix, Quebec Cheeses, Boulangerie Borderon et Fils: the best players of the regional food scene gathered in a single menu.

★ The Rule of Three

Each Carrera board respects the rule of three: three textures, three intensities, three colors. Like a perfect circuit, each element has its place and role.

Artisanal Focaccias
Borderon et Fils, every morning
Carrera focaccia is an institution. It arrives every morning from Boulangerie Borderon et Fils, soft, golden, ready to receive the best ingredients.

Italian focaccia is a unique bread. Neither baguette nor pizza: a territory to explore. At Carrera, it comes from Borderon et Fils, who apply a long fermentation for an irresistible alveolar crumb.

The Menu According to the Seasons
The Menu That Breathes
At Carrera, the menu is not fixed. It follows the market, the seasons, the producers’ desires, and the moods of the circuit.
✦ Summer: The Terrace on Fire

Light boards, focaccias with fresh herbs, market crudités, fresh cheeses. Everything is designed for the terrace, the sun, and the long afternoons of Petit-Champlain.

✦ Autumn: Local Comfort

Longer charcuterie, stronger cheeses, thicker toasted bread. The menu deepens with the seasons. Mulled wine starts appearing on the table.

✦ Winter: The Grand Prix of Comfort

Boards become more generous, melted cheeses appear, warm focaccias become refuges. Outside -20 degrees, inside the warmth of Quebec’s best charcuterie.

✦ Spring: The Grand Departure

Fresh herbs return, goat cheeses return, the terrace returns. The menu lightens, flavors awaken, the season begins again.

Food & Drink Pairings
The Winning Combination
The secret to a successful visit at Carrera: knowing what to pair with what.
★ Signature Pairing

Podium Board + Ferrari Espresso

The bitterness of the espresso cuts through the fat of the charcuterie and cleanses the palate between bites. The pairing that defines Carrera.

❤ Favorite Pairing

Pole Position Focaccia + Grand Prix Latte

The velvety milk of the latte complements the richness of the prosciutto with perfect sweetness. The brunch pairing.

✦ Seasonal Pairing

Paddock Board + Mulled Wine

In winter, the spices of mulled wine mingle with the aged cheeses on the cheese board. A warm, deep, unforgettable pairing.
