2 Best Restaurants in Central Coastal Drive, Prince Edward Island

In addition to the excellent oysters, this nice little restaurant has an eclectic menu that includes other seafood such as charred haddock, along with slow-roasted PEI beef, jerk chicken, and salads. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are also available. The caveat is that the little Landmark fills up quickly, so having reservations (or patience) helps.

There's nowhere better to enjoy world-famous Malpeque oysters than this casual, family-run wharf-side eatery right at the source—you can see their beds right outside the window. Oysters can be prepared several ways, but purists should just order a dozen unadorned (with a cold beer as an accompaniment), then slurp away. Chowder, steamed mussels, lobster rolls, and similar fare appear on the menu as well, and there is a retail outlet in case you want to take some seafood home.
