If you go to Prince Edward Island, you HAVE to go to North Cape to see the lighthouse and to visit this restaurant. Not only does it overlook the sea, you get fabulous food and service. You will have to overlook all the flies outside. Order the Lightkeeper's Platter and share it with someone. I received a cup of clam chowder (a little watery, but tasted okay), 2 oysters on the half shell, veggies and a baked potato, 2 lbs of mussels, 1 lobster, 1 battered fish fillet, 4 battered shrimp, and 4 pan seared scallops on a bed of rice -- all this for $32! This was my favorite meal on the Island. I ended up taking some of it home because it was an insane amount of food and there's just no way one person could have eaten it all, but I ate more than what was good for me. Luckily, you can work off some of the calories by walking along the beach, which is just outside the restaurant.

It's the only sit down family restaurant for miles but that doesn't mean they sit on that. This…read moreplace was very good and served a nice dinner for us two nights in a row. Just be aware. They close the dining room at 7:30. (The rice was excellent and the seafood chowder, fried clams, and fries, french and sweet potato - can't recommend the crab cakes though.) GREAT service - clean - and I have no idea what other reviewers are claiming about ambiance. It's a peaceful charming restaurant, not a night club, people!

FOOD: I had the chicken Parmesan It came with spaghetti and…read moregarlic bread sounded great to me, the pasta is the reason of this low review over cooked and the sauce is not fresh nor good and the garlic bread tastes plain and has barely any garlic. The only good part of this meal was the chicken Parmesan the cheese was nice it had a good amount of sauce amount and the chicken wasn't overcooked but what was, was the breading on the chicken it had clearly been burned and cooked to fast on too high of a temperature. AMBIANCE: The restaurant was big and was clean although it lacked in decoration if that restaurant had more decoration this review would have taken a different step. SERVICE: The service was good and the people were great to they clearly knew each other and were talking in between tables. OVERALL: I'm giving a two because the chicken was good and not overcooked like most restaurants do theirs.

North Port Pier Inn and Restaurant - Lobster roll

A quick caveat: this season, the Inn and restaurant are under new ownership, so take reviews…read moreprevious to 2020 as obsolete. We actually came here on dumb luck; we are not big fans of Charlottetown, and most of PEI gets boring quickly unless you REALLY like Anne of Green Gables. So, it was a great surprise when we rolled into Ableton on the western end of PEI, and literally stumbled onto the Northport Pier Inn. COVID meant they had rooms available, but there was still plenty of activity, both from locals and guests. First thing first: this is NOT an amenity-laden hotel. You are deep in rural PEI, so if you're expecting pools and hottubs and other 5-star amenities, you're about 300kms and a long bridge crossing outside of your comfort zone. What Northport does very well is the necessities- the place is quiet and spotless, the staff are friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating, and the wi-fi is strong and stable. The food at the restaurant next door is delicious- I had the pan-seared haddock with sweet potato fries- and the food is local (there is a fishery 100m away, and PEI is a strong farming centre.) What you also get- and this is the Inn's strongest feature- is one hell of a view. The Western end of PEI is an abundance of fish and bird species; plovers, herons and coromonts are everywhere, and nearby Oulton Island (and the outer banks, complete with historic lighthouse) are visible from your window. I would HIGHLY recommend this Inn for anyone looking to explore the western part of PEI, or most especially anyone looking to step-away from the hustle-and-bustle of big-city life or just to unplug for a few days. The surrounding pier has some perfect places just to sit and enjoy nature, and some of the amazing quirks so enjoyable at finds like these; look for the vocal and territorial Great Blue Herons, the dive-bombing plovers as the sun sets, and- on the far side of the pier- the gentleman living nearby who is raising/supervising(?) five baby raccoons. They follow him around like ducklings, and it is ADORABLE. Just do not interfere- they may have imprinted on and respond to him, but, like the rest of the wildlife around the area, they are still wild raccoons and would not take kindly to your attempts at inserting yourself into their existence. Just observe and enjoy- from a distance. Grocery access is 5 minutes away, as is gas, and PEI is itself tiny, so you're only 35-45 minutes away from Summerside, the smaller of PEI's two "cities". Canoe/Kayak rentals are only available out of Summerside at the time of this writing, so if that is your thing, make arrangements there (this will NOT be cheap). Overall, Northport Pier Inn is a clean, quiet, well-run establishment that deserves more attention than it gets. I have no idea what this place was like under previous ownership, but everything I experienced there in summer 2020 was exactly what I was looking for. One thing to remember: you're on the ocean- bring bug spray and After-bite.

We took a bit of a drive from our hotel to find a decent restaurant. This restaurant is on a lovely…read morelittle pier, with wonderful views, and a very appealing interior. We were promptly seated by friendly staff, and our waiter was very friendly and polite, especially to our two young girls. Our order was taken in good time, and brought out equally as quick. My wife and I both had the lobster roll, which we both agreed was the best so far on our east coast trip (and it has had some tough competition so far). Prices were also very reasonable compared to some of our previous dining experiences thus far.

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.

We heard the best lobster rolls in PEI were at Richard's, so we ventured about 30 minutes from our…read morehotel to check it out--and it was absolutely worth the relaxing drive. When we arrived, the line was already 20 people deep. We joined in, and to our surprise, it moved pretty quickly. We ordered four lobster rolls and grabbed a seat outside in the blustery wind. In the back of my mind I was thinking, this better be worth it. Then our buzzer went off. When I picked up our lunch and saw the sheer amount of lobster they give you, my first thought was: hell yes, this is worth it. Even sitting outside in the wind and drizzle couldn't take away from what was about to be one of the best meals I've ever had. I've never seen a sandwich packed with this much lobster before. Most restaurants give you a few chunks mixed with filler, but not at Richard's. These rolls were overflowing with big, juicy pieces and just the right amount of mayo. The bun was buttered and toasted to perfection. Honestly, this was probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. If you're anywhere near PEI, do yourself a favor and go to Richard's--you won't regret it.

I got the lobster roll and it was delicious. Great amount of lobster spilling over a roll and a side of chips also. Would definitely recommend. Plenty of outdoor seating, or even go to the nearby beach by the bridge to enjoy your meal! Although FYI, if you buy any beer, you have to stay on the patio attached to the store.
