Charlottetown

anada’s Prince Edward Island
has long been touted as “the
gentle island”. With its small
rolling hills, verdant potato
fields and pastoral vibe, it’s
a place that makes you want to
linger lazily and watch the purple
hue of the evening sky unfold. The
capital city of Charlottetown is
where the birth of the Canadian
nation evolved one hundred and fifty
years ago. This small idyllic city is
on the edge of a bustling harbour.
The tree-lined streets invite you
to meander. The grand old Victorian
homes and colonial buildings provide
a sense of old world charm.
The location on the Atlantic pretty
much assures any visitor that the
seafood will be a fresh catch of the
day, but knowing where to go for the
absolute best in town can be tricky.
