Quebec as a couple:
complete romantic weekend at Petit-Champlain

Two days of romance in Canada’s most beautiful fortified city. Strolls in Petit-Champlain, candlelit dinners, morning espresso facing the river: here is the perfect weekend for two.

FRIDAY

Arrival and first exploration

Arrive late afternoon in Quebec. Drop your bags at one of Old Quebec’s boutique hotels, then head straight down to Petit-Champlain. The late-day light gilds the limestone in an incomparable way.

First mandatory step: an Aperol Spritz or a glass of natural wine at Carrera Café, terrace if weather permits. It’s the official start of the weekend.

FRIDAY EVENING

Dinner and drinks for lovers

Old Quebec is dotted with gourmet restaurants and cozy bistros. After dinner, return to Petit-Champlain. Carrera Café turns into a bar in the evening: Italian cocktails, natural wines, charcuterie boards.

✦ THE ROMANTIC PACKAGE

Negroni, charcuterie, and soft music

A well-chilled Negroni, a Charlevoix charcuterie board, aged cheeses, the soft music of the place. At Carrera, the romantic evening builds naturally.

SATURDAY

Slow mornings and discoveries

The romantic weekend really starts Saturday morning, when the alleys are quiet. Go down for your coffee at Carrera before 9 a.m. A double espresso each, a shared focaccia, and the day opens gently.

MORNING

Carrera Café, strolling Petit-Champlain, Place Royale at dawn.

AFTERNOON

Funicular, Dufferin Terrace, art galleries, artisan shops.

EVENING

Gourmet dinner, last drink at Carrera, a memory of a perfect weekend.
