Shipwright's Café - Kensington

This place came highly recommended and sadly it is their last season. So if by any change you are in PEI now, go and eat there. Christine, the server was very knowledgeable of what was being served and we settled on raw Oysters and Oyster Rockefeller, which were large and tasted out of this world. My husband was in heaven, besides the oyster he had the seafood chowder and more oyster after. I had the special, liver with bacon and onions and a Caesar salad, strawberry-rhubarb pie and espresso. Everything was just so good, so good. I highly highly recommend that place.

This has been an excellent local fare restaurant for years and sadly, after our lunch, we were informed that they will be closing permanently at the end of this season. Thanks for many years of excellence and good luck in your future endeavors. If they involve a restaurant in Atlantic Canada, let us know! Service was always friendly and capable, food was fantastic. This final season the lunch menu seemed to be a bit more limited and perhaps a bit pricier than the past, but all in all well done!

Calvin prepares his hyper-locally sourced ingredients with personal attention and consummate skill. We are particularly pleased with his consistently excellent vegetarian choices. Most ingredients come from his garden, which surrounds the turn of the last century house now in use as this excellent restaurant. Margate is not far from Kensington, the crossroads of PEI, so consider it a destination worth seeking.

This was our final dinner in PEI after a week exploring the island. We were treated to warm hospitality, delicious home-baked breads, reasonably-priced wines, and amazing food prepared with care and locally-sourced ingredients.

This is my favourite restaurant on the island - it has it all... charm, view, excellent food, great service and baked goods, breads and eggs to purchase and take home with you.
