The most stylish terrace in Old Quebec awaits you

When summer arrives in Quebec, the city awakens with a special energy. The sun caressing the stone facades of Petit Champlain, flowers overflowing from balconies, the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the warm July air: there’s no better place to experience Quebec summer than on a terrace in this extraordinary neighborhood.

Carrera Café offers you exactly this experience: an open terrace from the first beautiful days, a summer menu celebrating iced coffee in all its forms, and an atmosphere that blends the historic charm of Old Quebec with the energy of European motorsport.

Iced coffee: much more than just a refreshing drink

In summer, iced coffee in Quebec is what rosé wine is to Provence: an essential seasonal ritual. But not all iced coffees are equal. There’s a fundamental difference between an espresso drowned in ice and an iced coffee thoughtfully made, prepared, and adjusted with the same care as a high-quality hot espresso.

At Carrera Café, our iced coffees are made from our specialty beans, selected for their ability to perform well cold. The result: a fresh, complex drink without harsh bitterness, revealing notes that heat doesn’t always allow to express.

Our iced latte: Carrera’s summer signature

Our iced latte is undoubtedly the drink that best represents summer at Carrera Café. A double espresso poured over ice cubes, velvety cold milk, a syrup of your choice — maple, vanilla, or caramel — and a carefully crafted presentation. Simple, but executed with the precision applied to every detail.

The terrace as a state of mind

The terrace at Carrera Café is not just a place to sit. It’s a place to watch. Watch the passersby on Quebec’s narrowest and most cobbled street. Watch the flower-adorned facades. Watch families, tourists, lovers, and regulars sharing the same space at different rhythms.

This is the quality of presence that summer in Quebec allows. And Carrera Café is the perfect place to experience it, with a drink that matches the setting.

Reserve your table on the terrace

The terrace at Carrera Café is available from the first beautiful days of spring until the end of autumn. It is especially popular in July and August, when the Quebec Summer Festival and other summer events attract thousands of visitors to Old Quebec.
