A café that welcomes families

No fuss and no judgment.

Carrera Café is not a family café-restaurant in the usual sense. It’s a café-bar with a premium aesthetic and an Italian vibe. But it’s also an open, warm place without excessive pretension. Well-accompanied children are welcome, especially outside peak hours.

The best time to come with family: weekday mornings, or early on Saturday and Sunday before the crowd builds up. The space is quieter, tables are more available, and everyone feels better.

For parents

A real specialty coffee, at last.

★ For you

Espresso · Latte · Cappuccino

Because parents deserve a good coffee when they go out with the family. Our specialty coffees are prepared with the same care as outside family hours. The espresso is precise, the latte is smooth, and the cappuccino holds up. You have time to drink it hot, that's all we promise.

For children

Options that really suit them.

Hot chocolate · Warm milk · Soft drinks

Our hot chocolates are made with real quality chocolate and textured milk. For children, we adjust the proportion and temperature. It's a real drink, not a packet product. And the light bites from our menu are perfect for a family break.

Petit-Champlain with children

A neighborhood made to be discovered on foot.

Petit-Champlain is a perfect neighborhood for a family outing. The cobblestone alleys are safe for children. The colorful facades and shop windows naturally catch attention. And the funicular, to go up or down from the upper town, is an attraction in itself for the little ones.
