    This is a great place to eat. Beautiful patio with lovely scenery. History in the building. Attentive staff. Good Menu. Even better food. Everything was delicous. My husband and I loved the lobster rolls which were filled with chunky lobster meat and matched with a lovely chowder. The fresh oysters we wished we would have had a second helping on. Kiddo loved the fish burger. Second kiddo gobbled up her fish cakes. Desserts were amazing. We don't order desserts usually but after we say them pass by tables we couldn't resist. Kiddos loved the chocolate mouse and cheese cake. After trying a bit I would agree. they certainly don't skimp on ingrediants or flavour here. My husband and I split the blueberry dessert and I wished I ordered my own. It was so rich, so balanced in flavours with the sauce I could have easily eaten two. If you are driving by, do yourself a favour and stop her for a bite to eat. You won't be disappointed.

    Lobster stuffed mushroom caps - a must order
    Shakil A.

    Very average food but great service. We ordered the lobster stuffed mushroom caps, seared haddock, lobster and scallop bake and the cranberry chicken. The only thing worth the order was the losbter stuffed mushroom caps. PEI definitely has many other restaurants to choose from, I would not recommend this place.

    Fresh mussels!

    Great lobster dinner! Really nice and accommodating staff. Everything so greasy. Had mussels also very fresh.

    The scallops and shrimp were fresh and grilled to perfection. The accompanying vegetables were el dante and flavorful. The food was served piping hot. Dessert was a warm rhubarb crisp and ice cream which was delicious. Coffee was fresh and served hot. There was a lovely harbour view from my table on the deck though at times the bugs were a distraction. I would definitely eat here again.

    Chocolate mousse

    Because we visited in the early part of the season wasn't sure if there hours but last reservation is 7:30pm 11-4 they serve lunch 4-7:45 they area supper. Made a reservation for 6:45 and arrived and seated fine. Just 4 other tables present when we arrived. We both ordered the lobster supper which comes with tea or coffee appitizer (soup or mussels ) 11/4pnd lobster veggies, fresh bread, potatoes, choice of dessert. First experience with eating a whole lobster for either of us. Was unique and tasty. By the time we were done we were very full. We were the last guest to leave the restaurant but never felt rushed or ignored. Service was great.

    It was good. However they're closing at the end of the week so they were out of cod and ran out of lobster.

    Cardigan Lobster Suppers - Scallops, always a good choice!

    We enjoyed a very good lobster supper at Cardigan Lobster Suppers, which is located in Eastern PEI…read morein a quiet location near the banks of the Cardigan River. Cardigan Lobster Suppers is open seasonally during the warmer months and tourist season from 5PM to 9PM daily serving up their 5-Course Lobster Suppers, as well as other dishes (3 courses). Senior and youth portions (half size) are available for some entrees including the 5-Course Lobster Supper. We stopped by Cardigan Lobster Suppers on the way back from visiting East Point. Initially, we checked out and stopped by other lobster suppers earlier in the day including Fisherman's Wharf in North Rustico, but mutually decided to stop here since it was conveniently located along our route back west and we driving through Cardigan by 6:15 PM. The place was not that busy since it was towards the end of the season. They have a good sized indoor dining room (old style building atmosphere) and also an outside wooden patio in the back overlooking the Cardigan Harbour. We decided to take a seat outside since it was nice outside and no one was eating in the dining room. I already knew what I was going to order, which was the 5-Course Lobster Supper ($38.95 plus taxes), but my friend wanted to try the Scallops for dinner. However, they had no more scallops, so my friend decided to order the Half Size Lobster Supper ($25.95 plus taxes), which also comes with 5-Courses, but only 3/4 lb Lobster instead of the 1-1/4 lb Lobster. Coffee or tea is included in the price pf the supper. Course 1: Seafood Chowder (all you can eat): This chowder was creamy and not too rich and had celery, fish, baby shrimp, and mussels, sprinkled with paprika. We were also given a basket pf hot rolls with butter. I really enjoyed this seafood chowder and I asked for two more bowls through the course of supper. Course 2: Garden Side Salads: These fresh salads came with choice of homemade dressings and we enjoyed Mango Jalapeño and Raspberry Vinaigrette dressings on the salads. Course 3: Mussels: I was given a big bowl of PEI mussels (counted 32 mussels) and my friend was given half the amount of mussels. The mussels were cooked just right, little broth in the bowl. Course 4: Lobster: I was given a full lobster, which was strategically cut in certain locations for easy breaking (I still needed a lobster cracker). My friend was given a half lobster, cut up the middle, tamales already removed. The lobsters were served with melted butter and side plates with a boiled PEI potato, 1/3 corn on the cob, and long sliced carrots. Course 5: Desserts: Two dessert choices were offered including a Fudge Nut Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and a Blueberry Shortcake, so we decided to get one of each to share. The brownie was really good which was not to rich and had crunchy walnuts baked in and the vanilla ice cream was cold and light topped with chocolate syrup. The blueberry shortcake consisted of a soft piece of pound cake topped with fresh blueberries/sauce and cool whip. Overall, the food we had was very good and tasty (all courses). The dining atmosphere outside was very quiet and serene overlooking the Cardigan Harbour, but there was a tree blocking much of the view. There were also a few older older couples also having supper outside and the best part was, there were no screaming kids here during our supper. However, since we were dining outside, the flies became attracted to the food on the table, which we had to shoo-away/swat (this could also happen in my backyard too). The service was very good, as our waitress served our courses in a staged and timely order including refills on the seafood chowder and coffees. We left here very full and very content with the PEI lobster supper.

    The five mark is likely excessive, but this place is to me the most authentic and serves the best…read moreand most joyful lobster dinner on the CB-PEI culinary trail! The 5 course lobster dinner is a must. All you can eat Chowder! 1 lbs fresh mussel! good lobster and a dessert! (forget the salad, just there for the fun). Nothing very original or top notch in creativity or execution, but so authentic and good! Service is very nice, place has a really local spirit...I would go back tomorrow!

The bar area took up a lot of space that could have been better purposed HOWEVER knowing what it used to be, it makes sense. Service was okay. I had some issues with some basic food safety concerns - mostly because I used to be a chef. The server, while very polite, handed out cutlery by grasping the tines of the fork and the blades of the knives. Now, not once, from the time may party arrived to the time we received cutlery did I observe the server or any bartender wash their hands - and I had a clear shot view of the bar and kitchen entrance. Th other issue, I observed, is that I did not see the server use a sanitizer on the table that was cleared next to where I was sitting. It was a damp cloth but with what - I have no idea. The menu was highly pretentious boasting gastronomical words that only chefs and true foodies would use. I understand the reason for this - it is to show class and style; that was obvious as to what they were going for with an overall esthetic. I settled on a burger this evening because it gave me a good understanding of if they knew how to handle simple ingredients. I did consider their Steak Frites (steak and fries) but at a market price of $52 for an 8oz striploin I nearly choked. To anyone out there - divide that number by 4 to get a true approximation of the cost. $13 at the best possible cost would put the steak at about $22/lb (almost $50/kg). That is insane. I understand it is locally sourced but unless it was dry aged (not said how it was aged) and had a lot of moisture loss from aging - well that price makes no sense. Anyways, back to the burger. The server advised that the burger was usually sold at a medium rare temperature. That to me was an alert because laws within Canada stipulate how ground product must be cooked - that is to 165F internal. Now, i will admit that there are allowances for this such as cooking it sous vide or freshly bringing the meat as bacteria only grows where a blade has touched the protein. Luckily I was able to order it well done. One of my dining companions didn't get it well done and it did not seem like sous vide was the cooking method. Taste of the burger was okay - seasoning was not known as I found it was overpowered by the aioli that was slathered on the bun. I am not even sure if the burger was juicy or not because of the aioli - and to some foodies out there, yes; you can have a well done burger and still.have it juicy! The fries that came with it were over seasoned. They have various herbs on them which, 1 hour after eating there, still have my mouth almost burning with the herb and salt taste. The cost of a beverage was wild. $16 for an alcoholic beverage made in a tall glass with one of those pretentious tall cylinder ice cubes that makes you think you are getting more than expected but are getting far less. For 2 burgers and a side of fries plus 1 alcoholic drink and I pop - i did not expect to pay almost $100. While I appreciate what this place is trying to do - it is my opinion that they missed the mark by a lot.

There was…read moreonly one other customer in the place at the time, a pair of travelers who looked like they were camping out. This is basically a beach shack where people spending some time on the beach can go for a bite to eat... however, the menu is pretty substantial, and there are a lot of good items on it to try if you are in the area. We weren't all that hungry, but we knew that we needed something to tide us over for the afternoon until supper rolled around, so we ordered a pair of their Oktoberfest Sausages which are served on a hoagie bun and sauerkraut. These absolutely hit the spot! The sauerkraut ratio was perfect, something that Americans just can't seem to get right (they always seem to overdo it... sauerkraut on a hot dog or sausage should be used as a taste enhancement, not as something to drown out everything else!) We left feeling quite fulfilled, and were happy that they were open and able to serve us with something so tasty.
