Planning a trip to Quebec City? In the heart of the Petit-Champlain district, Carrera Café is where motorsport passion meets specialty coffee, local gastronomy, and the best craft beers from Quebec. Just steps from Château Frontenac, Dufferin Terrace, and the famous Petit-Champlain Street, we are your must-stop in the Old Capital.

A unique café in the Old Capital

Quebec attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year, drawn by Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, its fortifications, and its French atmosphere in America. Carrera Café offers a specialty coffee experience, cocktail bar, and artisanal gastronomy inspired by the world of motorsport: precisely extracted espresso, Quebec cheese boards and organic charcuterie from Charlevoix, focaccias named after major circuits, cocktails inspired by F1 paddocks.

What to do in Old Quebec: the must-sees

Petit-Champlain Street, the most photographed street in Canada, just steps from our door. Artisan shops, galleries, stone facades: the living heart of the Lower Town. Then take the historic funicular to reach the Upper Town.

The Château Frontenac and the Dufferin Terrace offer a breathtaking view of the Saint Lawrence River. In spring and summer, the terrace comes alive with musicians and artists. In winter, the snow-covered fortifications create a fairy-tale setting.

Old Quebec is full of museums: the Museum of Civilization, the Fort Museum, the Quebec National Museum of Fine Arts. A whole day is not too much to explore this unique historic district in North America.
