    Another PEI spot where freshness takes centre stage, but with its own distinct personality. While…read moremost oysters along the island's northern coast trace their origins to Malpeque Bay, only those harvested here can officially be called Malpeque oysters. And at Malpeque Oyster Barn, you're eating them just steps from where they're pulled from the water--sometimes within hours. The setting is part of the charm: an old fishing shack that's been turned into a small, inviting dining room with views of the harbour. It's casual and unfussy, the kind of place where the smell of saltwater mixes with the sound of gulls outside. We kept things classic--Malpeque oysters, mussels, and a lobster roll. The oysters were some of the best we had on the island, briny and clean with that signature Malpeque sweetness. The mussels were plump and tender, and the lobster roll came with a side of creamy potato salad (yes, I know, I keep talking about the potatoes--but it's PEI, and they really are that good). It's not just about the quality here--it's about proximity. Eating oysters this close to where they're harvested gives a sense of place you can't replicate off-island. Friendly service, incredible seafood, and an authentic maritime atmosphere make Malpeque Oyster Barn a stop worth planning your trip around.

    This was a place I truly wanted to visit. It's off the beaten path but the drive is just beautiful…read more This is small but so cool! I felt at home right away. Very welcoming and well kept. The menu is simple but has items for everyone. No burgers but a chicken burger grilled. No fries but they have lots of sides. Oysters are their specialty and they do it right. Raw and fried (yes please). They have seafood chowder and daily deserts. A definite stop for oyster lovers.

    My friend too me here. Unfortunately, we were in a hurry so we tried to order ahead for pickup…read more We were told we had to come in person to order a take out! That was disappointing. She swore I would like the food so we went anyways. Long story short, the only thing I really enjoyed was the fries. I've tried them from many restaurants and theirs was good. And my friend wasn't as impressed as she was her first time

    Our order: bacon wrapped scallops, seafood chowder, lobster roll, steamed mussels…read more Oh my word. The seafood chowder is as advertised - the best! Creamy and filled to the brim with fruits of the sea. Just when I thought there had to be potatoes in my spoon, my mouth was met with scallops on scallops on scallops. I love the way the restaurant prepared their lobster, minimally, as to preserve the natural texture and flavor of the ocean. The fries are made from locally grown potatoes, fried to crisp on the outside, starchy and squishy on the inside. The bacon tightly wrapped around the scallops, adding a sweet and salty note to a soft pillow. The mussels were bouncy meaty but was paired with a white wine sauce infused with an herb that we were not fans of (perhaps tarragon?). The 15-20min wait was well worth the meal. The bustling environment was telling of its popularity among locals and tourists. Takeout available and it also sells and packages freshly captured seafood to go.
