Prince Edward Island Day 22 ~ Cavendish Beach & More!

The rains are gone (for now) and we woke to a sunny, albeit slightly cool, day, so we decided to head towards Cavendish Beach (part of PEI NP) to walk the beach a bit. 


 Ya think Brad looks cold? 😂

(He was not the only cold one...lots of people were bundled up!)

We then headed to a very popular restaurant called Blue Mussel Cafe

 


We tried to have lunch there last week, but they closed their lunchtime waiting list by the time we got there. (Though we found The Rustico Cannery that day and really liked it!). We added our names to the wait-list before leaving the beach, and had no wait at all once we arrived. 

Honestly, we were disappointed.  Brad ordered the mussels....


 

...which he thought were better at a brew pub we visited a couple weeks ago and Suzanne had the pan-fried haddock which was a lot of spicy coating that over-powered the fish. The service was just okay and it felt a lot like it was a volume business. So we won't go back, but instead head to one of the many other great restaurants we have found in the past few weeks.

After lunch, we headed to the Deep Roots Distillery to try maple liqueur (yum!), coffee liqueur (tastes like Kahlua) and blueberry liqueur (think cough syrup). 

 

(More on Deep Roots Distillery another time...yup - that's a teaser!😉)
