What is the best route going there? Can you recommend a very affordable and enjoyable restaurant to visit? We're only spending two days so kindly give us some tips on what to do in two days.

Hi Mario,
 
Greetings from Prince Edward Island! I’m happy to know you’re headed our way.
 
There are a couple of routes to PEI. I see you live in Toronto – if you’re coming directly from there, the easiest way to get here is via the Confederation Bridge (which you’ll access in New Brunswick). However, if you’ll be exploring Nova Scotia first, you can travel to PEI via Northumberland Ferries (reservations recommended). Keep in mind that you don’t have to leave the way you came – for example, you can take the bridge to PEI, and leave via the ferry (you don’t pay to come to PEI, you pay to leave).
 
As for restaurants, you have many options, as Prince Edward Island is known as Canada’s Food Island. Here are some of my favourite places:

• To enjoy a feed of lobster, I suggest you plan to spend an evening at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s been a quintessentially Island experience since 1958.
• At the beach near Tracadie Harbour, you’ll find Fin Folk Food. This is part of the Blackbush at Tracadie Harbour, a thoughtful resort development with a gentle footprint that welcomes both visitors and locals to enjoy the beach, as well as the public bathroom facilities at no charge. The restaurant serves delicious food and there’s an ice cream bar nearby.
• Visit Richard’s Fresh Seafood, which is located at Covehead Harbour. Get there early as it’s very popular with visitors and locals alike.
• The PEI Preserve Company in New Glasgow is a wonderful place to eat. Plan to spend a couple of hours there. Stroll through the Gardens of Hope and visit the Butterfly House.
• At the Charlottetown waterfront (end of Prince Street), you’ll find Lobster on the Wharf. With decks right in the water and a stunning view of the busy harbour, this is one of the most memorable dining experiences in downtown Charlottetown.
• Stroll along Victoria Row, a pedestrian street in historic downtown Charlottetown with restaurants (indoor and patio dining) and live music. Find it in the block of Richmond Street located between Queen Street and Great George Street).
• Just beyond downtown Charlottetown (next to the University of Prince Edward Island), you’ll find the Charlottetown Farmers’ Market. It’s open on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. During the summer months, it’s also open on Wednesdays from 9am to 2pm. It’s a hub of activity and it’s a great place to meet people. Bring your appetite, as the food is amazing!

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us again. Enjoy your PEI holiday!
