2 Best Restaurants in North Cape, North Cape Coastal Drive

There's a harbor view from every table in this converted boatbuilder's workshop—which explains not only its waterfront location but its oversized windows and soaring ceiling—and the seafood doesn't come any fresher. The traditional fish-and-chips is outstanding here, with succulent fish encased in a flavorsome and crispy beer-batter. Time your visit right and you may be able to see fishermen unloading the catch of the day and graceful blue herons angling for their own dinner. Patio seating is available on fine days.

Dining options are few and far between in this remote corner of PEI, so it's a blessing that the airy eatery above the North Cape Wind Energy Interpretative Centre offers more than mere sustenance. The Island seafood—including oysters, mussels, and lobster—is fresh and well prepared. Service is unfailingly friendly. The restaurant's panoramic windows, providing views of the water and (at low tide) the reef, are an added bonus.
