Guest Report post Posted February 22, 2013 So I'm planning a trip to Charlottetown in April and providing I save enough money, I'm super excited to go. So Charlottetown folk what are the best things to do? Since I am going in April, I can't do any of the boat trips because they start in June or July. I want to have some good eats and fill my face full of lobster, good local food and wine. So what are the best restaurants or any hidden gems that may not be on the trip adviser websites.This is my first time planning a trip that is bigger than a weekend road trip, lol. I'm excited to have a lot of fun in Charlottetown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herod321 379 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 You're in for a treat! Charlottetown is a great culinary destination, and every restaurant is open in April. You are going to want to hit up Lot 30 (Kent and University), as it is the best spot you'll ever try ( menu changes all the time, but try the Pork belly!) The Pilot house (Queen and Grafton) is great and famous for their Lobster Stuffed Chicken, and The Merchantman's pub (Queen and Water) has a great burger called "The East West" burger, that contains pickled ginger, and wasabi mayo...it's like digging into some sushi while consuming a delicious hamburger...it's incredible. The fun part about April on PEI is that you can take advantage of PEI's Burger Love campaign that we have every year. It lasts one month, and many restaurants around here compete for the best, and most creative burger. If you are a burger fan, you are going to be amazed with all the choices here. Finally, if you are in the mood for italian, there is nothing better than Siranella's. (Queen and Water.) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I might add to the list, if your a pizza lover, try Famous Peppers. They are just up the road from Lot 30. Best pizza I have had bar none!

parkershellby45 678 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 If you have free time on Saturday afternoon then check out the Blues Matinee at Globe World Flavors on Richmond Street, cover is by donation. Their Potato Martini is very good (not a drink) as is the rest of their menu, but get there by 1:30 or you wont have a place to sit. Live blues played by several talented people.

Guest Report post Posted February 23, 2013 This is exactly what I'm looking for. I have found a couple of things to do. Now I'm excited to get great food and who doesn't love a good burger, big smile. I'm looking forward to the Charlottetown experience. I love blues, so the live show would be great to watch. Has anyone been here. What are your reviews about this place? http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g155023-d2201911-Reviews-The_Mack-Charlottetown_Prince_Edward_Island.html Thank you so much for your helpful replies.

fisforfuun 368 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 For local wine, go to any liquor store and try out our provinces own Rossignol Wines, or go to the winery in Little Sands! http://www.rossignolwinery.com For coffee try out Young Folk & The Kettle Black. For lunch, try Leonhards bakery and cafe on University Avenue in Charlottetown. Also I would recommend a trip to the Farmers Market next to UPEI on Saturda morning for some tasty food, coffee and local products. Depending when you are here, there is always good live music happening check out the local arts paper The Buzz which you can pick up free everywhere, it has a detailed music and arts event listing every month), especially at Baba's Lounge (try out the sweet oblivion house drink!) and there is really good Lebanese food downstairs at Cedar's Eatery. Good vintage clothes shopping at The Green Man Vinyl & Vintage and a great selection of local music is available on CD and Vinyl at Back Alley Music. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 9, 2013 I am so so sorry, I have to postpone my trip to Charlottetown. I do have this town in my heart and I do plan on making my way up someday. When I plan on coming up I will announce my arrival in advance so the cerbies of Charlottetown can book in advance. Again please forgive me gentlemen. Take care. Until we meet. XoXo Peachy/Val.

nicenplayful 100 Report post Posted May 5, 2013 Another vote for Famous Pepper's Pizza. It's all good! I have to say the Big Orange Lunchbox (downtown University Ave.) has a unique and high quality menu. I haven't been disappointed there yet. And tip Brit the waitress extra well because she's just plain awesome. ;) I'd head to Sims for a great steak. Ta Ke Sushi is great. I've never been disappointed at The Maple Grill. And Churchill's makes a killer British curry, but get it half and half (homemade fries and basmati rice.) Would you allow me the privilege of showing you the town? :) It'd be nicer to show you than just offer suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted August 2, 2013 I can't wait to come to Charlottetown to eat lots of lobster and see how beautiful your town is. Ekkk, I'm so excited. It looks like there is a lot more to do in the summer than there is in the spring. Thank you so much guys for all the great ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
