Quebec in autumn: the colors, the local products, and the Carrera Cafe
September in Quebec might be the most beautiful season. The air is fresh, colors explode over the Laurentians, and the Carrera menu takes on autumn hues: rich, generous, reflecting the terroir.
Quebec in Autumn
September - November
Summer is generous. Autumn is also a full season in Quebec, with its own rituals and pleasures.
Autumn in Quebec begins with the first night frosts of September and ends with the first snowflakes of November. Between the two: the Laurentians ablaze, cideries opening their doors, farmers' markets overflowing with squash and apples, and Old Quebec regaining its calm after the tourist season. For many, it’s the best time to visit Quebec.
At Carrera Cafe, autumn is felt on the plate: the platters grow heavier with aged cheeses, natural wines gain body, and the morning cappuccino makes even more sense when it’s 8 degrees outside.
The Autumn Terroir
Seasonal Products & Arrivals
Autumn is the season of harvests. Local producers are at their best. Our menu reflects this.
Autumn Arrivals
Cheeses aged in the cellar since summer, cold cuts that have reached their peak maturity, seasonal jams: autumn is the season when our platter is the most complete. Charlevoix in October is something else.
The Autumn Menu
Seasonal Menu & Drinks
The Carrera menu changes pace in autumn. Richer, denser, more persistent.
Autumn Cappuccino - The Comfort
Cappuccino takes on its full meaning in autumn. The hot cream, the dense foam, the bitterness of the espresso against the chill outside: the morning ritual of October at Carrera.
Autumn Board - The Most Complete
Seasonal cheeses, matured charcuterie, warm bread, mostarda and apple jam: the richest board of the year. Served with a full-bodied red wine from our autumn selection.
