3 Best Restaurants in North Cape Coastal Drive, Prince Edward Island

In this historic house-turned-ice-cream-parlor, delicious gourmet ice cream is made from scratch, using fresh natural ingredients. They offer all the classic flavors and more—and even the crisp, light waffle cones are handmade on-site. There's also an authentic old soda fountain, pumping out hand-crafted sodas and floats, and you can enjoy your treat(s) inside or out in the pleasant garden.

Everything is made in-house at this artsy converted space inside a handsome 1895 building, with locally sourced and organic ingredients creating the tasty house-made soups, sandwiches, and panini. Tempting sweet treats and baked goods are also available. It's become a popular gathering place for discerning locals and visitors.

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.
