The Carrera terrace in summer:
The chicest aperitif in Petit-Champlain

When Quebec wakes up under the June sun, the Carrera terrace comes alive. Spritz, iced latte, local platters, and views of the colorful facades of the historic district. Summer starts here.


01

Our Outdoor Paddock

The Petit-Champlain terrace


The Carrera Café terrace is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant in Old Quebec. Nestled in the cobbled alleys of Petit-Champlain, it offers a stunning view of the colorful houses in the neighborhood and the joyful activity of wandering visitors.

Dark wood tables, metal chairs, lanterns, and cream parasols: every detail is designed to create an atmosphere between Milan and Quebec. An outdoor paddock where you can watch, relax, and recharge.

Open from May to October depending on the weather. Arrive early on weekends to get a table.

Brunch on the Terrace

The weekend as it should be


On summer Saturday and Sunday mornings, the Carrera terrace turns into a brunch stage. Cappuccino, grilled focaccia, light platter: the pace is slow, the conversation easy, the sun a partner.

It's the most appreciated moment of the week by our regulars. We see the same faces every weekend. A terrace table at Carrera is a bit like a reserved spot at the stands: you always come back.

Reserve your terrace table

Terrace tables fill up quickly in July and August. Come early or write to us. The sun in Petit-Champlain can't be reserved, but our table can.
