2 Best Restaurants in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Urban style meets rural delicacies at this upscale restaurant, which occupies a handsome brick building downtown. Not surprisingly, given the name and location, seafood is a specialty here—the local oysters, mussels, and lobsters are all memorable. But there are alternatives for vegetarian and meat-loving locavores (think risotto made with market veggies or grilled PEI strip loin, aged in-house for 50 days served with roasted PEI potatoes). It's a popular spot for tourists and residents alike, and the service is friendly. 

Housed in a gorgeous heritage building, with plush velvet booths, exposed brick, and chandeliers, Sims Corner serves decadent meals and prides itself on its connections with local farmers and custom-cut, Island-raised beef (it's aged 45 days for richer taste). Seafood selections start with a wide range of oysters at the raw bar, and divine desserts are made in-house. All can be washed down with an award-winning selection of old- and new-world wines.
