We love featuring Lone Oak as one of our go-to brews for the complimentary cold drinks we leave ready for you upon checking-in. Go to the source and see what they are all about yourself. Save some room to grab some of the best bites on the island at The Abbey (located inside the brewery)

The second location of this popular fresh seafood joint. We love it because you don't have to wait in line for hours like you do in Stanhope. Great lobster rolls, fish burgers and more. Outdoor seating and even some hammocks to lounge in and take in the view of the Victoria harbour.

This is a go-to favourite. Famously delish. Lots of great meat and veg options and sweeter stuff if that’s your thing. Great staff - very friendly. Perfect to take for a country drive or to the beach.

One of our favourite antique stops on the island. The converted church it is located in is a masterpiece of its own (make sure to look up the clock tower when you arrive). Incredible finds and treasures. Not light on the pocketbook if you're hoping to score a find but well worth the visit. If the owner is in shop and you strike up a conversation, be prepared to stay for a while - he's got some great stories.
