Chef Emily Wells is well known for her culinary skills in PEI. Slightly pricey but excellent quality food. Better for couples than families. They do have some take & go food that might be of interest.

Looking for an amazing seafood chowder? This is the place. This place is so popular there is usually a very big line up!!! Maybe not this year. We have had guests tell us they have driven over, put their name on list and then they will call you when table is ready. Can't make any promises but that sounds genius to me! You can also go for a walk along the boardwalk while waiting and check out the North Rustico fishing village.
