A most charming place to stop for a bite and a cup of tea, surrounded by English gardens. Of course, like everything else in this region, the fare can be very Anne of Green Gables–centric and perhaps too twee for some. Order a raspberry cordial or 'new moon pudding' – both recipes have been taken from author Lucy Maud Montgomery's journals.
