Landmark Oyster House

Top choice in Prince Edward Island


Despite the name, there's a lot more on offer at this super-friendly cafe-diner than oysters (although you can certainly sample the holy bivalves if you want, choosing 'em raw, deep-fried or baked). The menu is a catch-all treat of island flavors: pot pies, fish cakes, surf and turf, as well as a selection of sumptuous platters.
