Eat local eateries in charlettown

Answer by:

Hi Edley,

When it comes to choices of restaurants to eat at in Charlottetown, there are many spectacular options. The more important question is, "What are you in the mood for?" 

If you're looking for fantastic wood-fire cooked pizza in a relaxed, yet lively, family friendly location, Piatto is a no brainer!  

If lobster rolls and chowder are on your bucket list, a visit to Dave's Lobster is a must. The menu offers both traditional cold rolls and my favourite hot, buttered lobster rolls, strawberry shortcake & white fish chowder. 

My choice for an upscale oyster and patio combination can be found at Sim's Corner. Their wine offerings & cocktail menu will keep you hydrated and happy on their luxurious, and perfect for people watching patio. 

One of the wonderful pieces of Charlottetown is how readily pedestrian friendly Historic Downtown Charlottetown innately is. The Confederation Center of the Arts is a great landmark, and is closely situated to many eateries. If you are looking for a more formal, dine-in experience, The Claddagh Oyster House is ideal. Be sure to sample the wide selection of oysters, steamed mussels & quahogs.

If you're looking for a lively patio experience, Sea Rocket found on the pedestrian only street, Victoria Row is a wonderful option to have your seafood cravings satisfied. Order some oysters and you've already got some of the best of PEI ingredients right in front of you! Sea Rocket also has a patio as well which can be a wonderful spot to enjoy our world famous sunsets! 

Happy Eating!

Chef Ilona Daniel
