If you're coming to PEI and not trying the lobster here, you're seriously missing out. This cozy, no-frills spot serves up the freshest lobster dinner—straight from the sea and onto your plate. It’s a local favorite for a reason. Grab a seat on the p...
Water Prince Corner Shop
This spot is a little more upscale but totally worth it. The oysters are out of this world and the seafood chowder is something I still think about. Great for a date night or celebrating your first night in town.
Claddagh Oyster House
Okay, it’s a short drive from Charlottetown, but trust me—it’s part of the experience. You eat lobster rolls and fish & chips overlooking the water. Laid-back, fresh, and just what you need on a sunny day.
Original Richard's
A great breakfast or brunch spot. Their coffee is strong (like, the good kind of strong), and their locally sourced menu is full of flavor. A good place to fuel up before a day of exploring.
Receiver Coffee - Brass Shop
This is your farm-to-table dream. Everything is beautifully presented and tastes just as fresh as it looks. Their charcuterie boards are a must if you're sharing with friends.
TERRE ROUGE CRAFT KITCHEN - Restaurant Reviews
If you want something a little fancier with a great atmosphere, this is your place. While known for steak, the seafood still shines here. Great cocktails too!
Sims Corner Steakhouse & Oyster Bar
Another short drive, but worth adding to your list. It’s casual, but the mussels and seafood pasta are next-level. Get there early—it gets packed, and for good reason!
Blue Mussel Cafe
A local brewpub that’s just plain fun. Their brown bag fish & chips? Crispy perfection. And their beer is brewed right there—definitely try a flight.
The Gahan House
A cozy hidden gem for breakfast or lunch. Think European café vibes with homemade quiche, fresh salads, and baked treats. Super friendly staff too.
Leonhardt Restaurant Café

Victoria Row (2025) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Reviews)
Whether you're catching a show or just exploring the gallery, this place is a cultural hub. It’s also home to the Anne of Green Gables musical—yes, it’s cheesy, but in the best way.
The Charlottetown Festival 2025
History lovers, this one’s for you. This is where Canada was basically born. The guided tours are short and sweet, but you walk away feeling like you learned something cool.
Province House National Historic Site
Take a walk or rent a bike and cruise along the water. This park is peaceful, has great views of the harbor, and is perfect for slowing things down a bit.
Victoria Park Waterfront Boardwalk - Prince Edward Island - AllTrails
Shops, snacks, lobster rolls, and boats—this area is super cute and lively. It’s one of those spots where you can easily lose an hour or two just wandering.
Peakes Quay
Even if you’re not staying here, walk through the neighborhood. The old architecture is stunning and it’s like stepping back in time. Great for early morning or sunset strolls.
