Harbourview Restaurant

Top choice in Prince Edward Island


Specializing in generous meals of snow crab, calamari, scallops and bar clams (as well as a seafood chowder that's said to be among the island's best), this country restaurant makes a handy stop-off as you tour the east coast road. It's in Murray Harbour, 21km east of Wood Islands.
