Dine at a Traditional Church Hall Lobster Supper

While Prince Edward Island has a sophisticated culinary scene, no trip is complete without experiencing a traditional community lobster supper. Originating in the mid-20th century to raise funds for parish halls and community centers, institutions like New Glasgow Lobster Suppers and St. Ann's Church in Hope River continue to serve this feast.

These fixed-price feasts are legendary multi-course affairs. They typically start with unlimited freshly baked bread rolls, creamy seafood chowder, and all-you-can-eat steamed blue mussels, followed by a fresh whole Atlantic lobster with hot drawn butter, and conclude with house-made mile-high pies. Arrive with a hearty appetite, and consider visiting on a weekday evening to minimize wait times during July and August.
