Spring in Quebec City: the return of the terrace and iced lattes in Petit-Champlain
When the first warmth of May arrives and tables are set up on the cobblestones of Petit-Champlain, it's the most awaited signal of the year at Carrera Café. Spring is here. The season can begin.
Spring in Old Quebec
The awakening of the beautiful season
In Quebec City, spring doesn't arrive gradually. It bursts in, almost without warning, on a May morning when the temperature suddenly rises above 15°C and everyone simultaneously comes out onto the sidewalks with the same blissful smile. Old Quebec wakes up like that: suddenly, and with fanfare.
At Carrera Café, this spring morning, the terrace tables are brought out. The season is officially open.
The return of the terrace
The most awaited event of the year
The Carrera Café terrace opens every year as soon as the weather allows, usually in early May. And every year, the first customers to sit outside have something special: they order their coffee as if it were the first time in months. Because it is.

The return of the iced latte
The most awaited moment
The iced latte is the drink of summer. And its return in spring, as soon as the first nice days arrive, has something ritualistic about it. Regulars at Carrera Café who last ordered it in October find their glass with affectionate familiarity.
The first iced latte of the season, on a terrace in Petit-Champlain, with the May sunshine: some things are worth anticipating months in advance.
The first Spritz
The celebration of spring
There is a moment, every spring, when the temperature is just warm enough to sit on the terrace with a Spritz. Not quite summer yet, but no longer really winter. This suspended moment between seasons is one of the most pleasant times of the year in Quebec City.
The bartender's tip
"The first Spritz of the season is always served with a little extra prosecco. To celebrate. It's our way of saying welcome to spring."
The season restarts
