I recently visited Carrera's resto in Laval, & it honestly lived up to the hype. The restaurant has a really unique car-themed atmosphere with Porsche-inspired décor that makes the place feel modern, fun, & different from the usual burger spot. The vibe is relaxed & welcoming, especially if you're into cars or just want a cool place to hang out with friends.
Vraiment super!!! comme c'était notre 1er fois ils nous ont offert le burger pour y goûter mon mari a adoré.un très grand merci a vous. A une prochaine fois 👍
Best smash burger in the Greater Montreal area, & in their poutine the gravy is so tasty to an extent that I would say its the best I ever had here, & the vibe is so cozy
Très belle découverte chez Carrera's Resto ! Une place unique avec une ambiance qui nous fait voyager dès qu'on entre. J'ai eu la chance de rencontrer Peter, le propriétaire, une personne très agréable & passionnée. Que ce soit pour commencer la journée avec un café ou pour manger une pizza, un burger, tout est délicieux. Un magnifique mélange de simplicité & d'élégance, autant dans le décor que dans la gastronomie. Ce genre d'endroit apporte quelque chose de différent & d'authentique. Ça prendrait plus de places comme ça à Laval, Montréal & partout au Québec. Je recommande fortement !
Incredibly kind & welcoming service, even for a couple of us showing up near closing time (sorry about that again), you have to try the smash burger when you go & the pizza is top 👌🏻
The expansion looks beautiful & the aesthetics of the café are genuinely really nice, but unfortunately the food quality has gone way downhill. It was so disappointing to pay over $25 for a pizza that was extremely greasy, had a huge crust, & tasted like it was made with very cheap cheese - honestly like cafeteria-style cheese. Even the hot honey they give on the side was a letdown: such a small portion, watered down, & not flavorful at all.
We also tried the smash burgers, & they were just as disappointing. They were overly greasy, & you could actually taste that cheap, unpleasant oil. We honestly felt sick after eating. Even the coffees were underwhelming - having a fancy machine is not enough if the coffee itself isn't made well.
Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially for spending over $70 & not enjoying any of it. The space looks great, but the food & drinks absolutely did not live up to the price or the presentation.
Bien que je comprenne le'hype' sur les petits'diners', le look des lieux n'a pas été suffisant pour que je ne sois pas déçu par Carrera's Laval...
Tout d'abord les prix! J'ai commandé 2 smashed burgers composés se 2'patties' avec une poutine dite'large', mais plutôt moyenne partout ailleurs, le tout pour la modique somme odieuse de plus de $37.00 !!!
La bouffe... Burgers plus que smashed, mais plutôt brûlés, sur des pains mous & mouillés par la sauce trop abondante & les oignons rôtis humides... La poutine elle, goûte franchement la poutine d'aréna avec ses frites mal cuites, molles & le fromage de qualité très moyenne!
Pour vous dire, j'aurai mieux fait d'aller manger une vrai poutine'large' & un rôteux chez Gérard ou des burgers chez Dick Ann's...
Je l'ai essayé & malgré la vantardise de mon sympathique hôte, je n'y retournerai pas... Je suis trop pauvre & j'aime en avoir pour mon argent & ce qu'on me promet!
