Blue Mussel Cafe

Top choice in Prince Edward Island


Simple seafood fresh off the boats is the order of the day at this stylish harborside cafe: Daisy Bay oysters, seared halibut, seafood bubbly bake and a banquet-worthy lobster dinner. The space is light and modern, with glass doors and a wooden-decked interior that seems to bring the outside in. Nothing pretentious here: just great grub. No reservations.
