The most stylish terrace in Old Quebec awaits you

When summer arrives in Quebec City, 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 a Quebec summer than on a terrace, in this extraordinary neighborhood.

Carrera Café offers you exactly this experience: a terrace open from the first warm days, a summer menu that celebrates 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 is to Quebec City what rosé wine is to Provence: an essential seasonal ritual. But not all iced coffees are created equal. There's a fundamental difference between an espresso drowned in ice and an iced coffee designed, 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 aggressive bitterness, that reveals notes that heat doesn't always allow to express.

Our iced latte: Carrera's summer signature

Our iced latte is probably the drink that best represents summer at Carrera Café. A double espresso extracted over ice cubes, velvety cold milk, a choice of syrup — maple, vanilla, or caramel — and a neat presentation. Simple, but executed with precision that we apply to every detail.

The terrace as a state of mind

The Carrera Café terrace is not just a space to sit. It's a place to observe. Observe passersby on Quebec City's narrowest and most cobbled street. Observe the flower facades that adorn the buildings. Observe families, tourists, lovers, and regulars who share the same space at different rhythms.

It's this quality of presence that summer in Quebec City allows. And Carrera Café is the ideal place to experience it, with a drink that lives up to the setting.

Book your table on the terrace

The Carrera Café terrace is available from the first warm days of spring until late autumn. It is particularly popular in July and August, when the Festival d'été de Québec and other summer events attract thousands of visitors to Old Quebec.
