Charlottetown, PEI: BEST Lobster in the World??? (Canada/New England Cruise)

We make our first steps into Canada on the cruise in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. This is the smallest of the Canadian provinces and we are excited to be here! Getting off the ship, the town is charming and there is so much to do in walking distance... which we love!
And these are the first of the fall leaves we have seen! Although there are still not very many.
After taking a nice stroll along the harbor, we decided we were hungry and needed some lobster! We have been told there is a spot for excellent lobster rolls and we definitely found them at Dave's Lobster!!! Oh my gosh... these are better than what we had in Maine, and that is saying a lot! They have the perfect sandwich called 'half & half' which is half of a warm roll and half of a cold roll... the best of both worlds! It was soooo good!
This town is great for walking around, and walk we did! All over!!! We worked up an appetite and made our way over to Hunter's Ale House for some poutine! If you don't know what poutine is, you are so missing out!!

Hi Alisa and Jason. I'm Dave, the owner of Dave's Lobster. I just came across your video; sorry I didn't find it sooner. Thanks so much for visiting Dave's Lobster, making the video and the kind words and positive review. These things always make me very happy. Sorry I wasn't around when you were here. It would have been nice to say hi. If you're ever back in PEI (or Halifax, we have a shop there too) ask for me! Thanks again! Dave

[@heathermiddleton4958]

Hi from PEI. Glad you enjoyed our little Island. The Quay in Peake's Quay is pronounced Key...lol.

[@kated2847]

I waited at the port an hour and a half hoping to meet you when you got off but alas, you did not get off right away. I am glad you enjoyed our port. Wowie cowie is always my choice at cows. We pronounce Peakes quay as key. Hunters is a great place for pub food, the servings are enormous. Thanks for coming to our island.

[@memawnethers14]

Ok. I have been going to PEI for 8 years. I hope you got to go to cows and get chocolate covered potato chips. Yes it good !!! You really need to take your RV to PEI and travel the whole island!! Cousins shore is the best which is in Annes land. The Home place of Lucy Montgomery who wrote Anne of Greengables. Twin Shores is the best RV Park on the island. . I hope you got to try their Fish and chips. Best fish I ever had !!!!. Victoria is a cutest little village and the best chocolate shop you have ever seen. If you like coffee, they had chocolate coated mocha coffee. It's ta die for.!!!!!. All the locates go there for this treat. PEI has the best lobster roll any where in Canada!!!! There are amazing lighthouses all over the island that you can drive up to and climb to the top. Many of them are still running by the locals. I'm just telling you guys., You got to take your RV to PEI. Stay for two weeks. And amazing place to look for sea glass. This is the only place you can sit on the beach and hear the cows mooing !!! The island people made a pack to never allow tall hotels around the beach fronts. Instead you can rent cottages right on the oceans beaches. I can't say enough about this gorgeous island. I have so much more to say about it but I better stop!!!!❤❤❤❤😊

[@DanaPC82]

The countries in Canada are called provinces, NOT providences. Just a friendly correction.

[@lynnfranklin5098]

That is their accent in south La a v and a d are often interchanged. You have a few vowels you do the same

[@DanaPC82]

Look up BOTH words, and ones a part of a country, province.

[@craigc1463]

@@lynnfranklin5098 disagree, she is totally saying it wrong

[@AD12396]

I agree that she is pronouncing it incorrectly regardless of her southern accent.

[@hideawayhomesllc5103]

Well first off, there are no "countries" in Canada called provinces. Canada is a country. Provinces are provinces. Boo on you.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

What Beautiful Town just seeing some Autumn colour’s is so pretty 😍 Beautiful views ❤❤Have a Good weekend 🥰

[@lindalaliberte8704]

Hi Alisa and Jason! 🖐 Loved this video. You 2 are absolutely the best at filming and narration!!! Alisa, I really appreciate that you give us some background of the places you stop and what you are looking at. It really is interesting. Jason, your camera skill is second to none! Looking forward to your next stop. 👌😀

[@CanadianMonarchist]

Gordon Ramsay once said that Maine lobster was much better than Canadian lobster. As an Islander I’m glad you enjoyed visiting my province. 😊

[@lindab8563]

Loved the video! PEI is very beautiful and people are very friendly! Hello from 🇨🇦

[@weezeetravelbug1105]

Im from New Brunswick and i was in PEI a few weekends ago.... i seriously go for the COWS ice cream!!! Lol. So crazy to think you were so close to my home.

[@ericmanner8546]

HOLY SHIT! The lobster looked GREAT, and the poutine looked ridiculous. That steak and gravy and cheese were TOTALLY DEVESTATING. Thanks for the tour. Yummo.

[@krispressler1005]

It is a good thing I have been watching these vlogs after dinner otherwise I would be so hungry. My favorite food in PEI was the mussels. So fresh and good.

[@deborahbolton3417]

Thanks for sharing this video with us we really loved it! And of course we love the sky. I really love that ship.💞💞💞🛳️🦩⚓️🥰

[@live2skide1]

Great video. Makes me think FOOD TOUR~~~!!!~~~ I love just walking around in a small port and getting the FLAVOR of the community!

[@bobmoore8314]

I just came across EECC Travels two days ago. I've watched about 5 videos thus far, and look forward to watching more! Thanks from an Ontario viewer!

[@susanboon4605]

As Ontarians who vacation in PEI, you have discovered our happy place! I can echo the comments below that you really should drive your RV up here. It has amazing camping - and Twin Shores has the best campground of all! We always go deep sea fishing with Wade at New London. It's great fun, and very reasonably priced. Of course, I'd love to hear your comments about the New Glasgow all you can eat Dinner (you buy the lobster by the pound, but the chowder, mussels, salads and desserts are all you can eat). We were stuck here this summer (I had a knee replacement), but I plan to be back on my island next summer for sure!

[@CanadianMonarchist]

I’m glad you enjoy visiting my province. 😊

[@cindybruce992]

Hi from PEI. We had a bad hurricane that destroyed 40% of our forests which is why the trails in Victoria Park are underwhelming now. Most of the trees were blown down. Before it was beautiful.

[@DM-Canada]

So happy you found our city! I was having a wee chuckle at how you say "quay". Here it is pronounced "key". You should have grabbed a "Dirt Shirt", but you definitely hit one of the best lobster roll places in town (yes, we have the best lobster in the world!), tasted some of the best ice cream in the world (seriously!) and had yourself some poutine. I hope you found Beaver Tails -- I recommend the classic cinnamon and sugar style. Come back sometime and get over to the North Shore. It's my happy place.

[@bzbrown977]

You two never disappoint!

[@mandy872]

This just popped up on my YT home page. Charlottetown girlie here :) love seeing my city through the eyes of others! Thank you Also “Peakes KEY” :) for your next visit

[@Tammy-pv7qp]

I so want you both to come visit Newfoundland! Maybe someday??

[@janedavies7768]

Great video again love the food and I always watch when I'm hungry lol in the UK we've got compost bins can't wait for more food thanks for sharing 😂❤ the 🇬🇧

[@sandraperry8769]

I am really enjoying your videos! Both of you are so much fun ❤

[@marthat4258]

I was in PEI and Charlottetown last summer and this brought back a lot of memories!

[@michaelpoczynek]

Nice to have on the island! Hope you had a great time!

[@inthekitchenwithjoann6911]

Fall is beautiful here in Nova Scotia but we do not get peak colors till beginning and mid October. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Atlantic provinces ❤🇨🇦

[@anastas6179]

I'm doing New England/Canada from Boston next year and we stop in Charlottetown; I may have to copy your exact itinerary with the poutine and half/half lobster rolls!

[@iqbalhosein1241]

Sorry to correct you, but in Canada the providences are called provinces. FYI🍻👍🏾

[@christinamaria8640]

East coast lobster is the best!! The best I’ve ever had was on the Halifax waterfront. Next time you’re in that port, I recommend the lobster thermidor from The Bicycle Thief restaurant.

[@willg7882]

👍! Thurston Howell the III and Lovey.

[@epicgameztv]

Canadian Rule #17 East Coast for Lobster.. West Coast for Crab!

[@kathyslocombe1182]

Absolutely! Nothing is better than an East Coast lobster.

[@marie-claudegodbout1564]

Love the video ! We are actually currently in the peak of the fall colours in quebec city, you are so right fall was pushed ahahah. and yes poutine is a must have. Decadently good ahahah hope you had some in Quebec, the province in wich it originated :D

[@mea3665]

We were there October 3rd on last year lots of color

[@AlexaSmith]

omgg i would love to go see the seance that seems so cool they even have their own little crow :D

[@lindastover9541]

Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@melanieschudel4213]

I’m dying to eat a poutine!! (I’m from Quebec and am living abroad… besides my family, that’s what I miss the most!! 😂) looking at you to eat this monster poutine is a real torture!! 😜😂

[@tommy-qg5nv]

If you’re going into Quebec we managed to get a beaver tail near the port, omg go for the maple one soooooo good

[@aguptill1]

Next time you’re in PEI you should try the local muscles. Beaver Tails is also available in other cities in Atlantic Canada . Enjoying your videos as always❗️😎🛳️

[@QuackAttack63]

It's pronounced "KEE" not "KWAY".

[@erikatheis4688]

Quay = key. Very confusing and i say it wrong all yhe time but alas thats how you pronounce it. Love PEI, one of my favorite places

[@denisewright3496]

I love watching your videos. And since I've decide to take this exact same cruise, I am enjoying your video here. My only question is what was the weather like? Im planning on going in October of 2025

[@CanadianMonarchist]

In October the weather is usually pleasantly cool. If you wear a jacket and long pants you should be fine.

[@louiecampbell8227]

Quay = Key. Like your vids.

[@lisakennon811]

Did you get to see anything that had to do with the books Anne of Green Gable? It was filmed there too.

[@Christianrose1974]

Your food stops looked yummy

[@vincentclausen2250]

Looking forward to the lobster but also the history.

[@nicholasknowles7036]

The next time your in Portland you need to get a potato donut they are awesome

[@kjellmyraas6552]

When you do the Alaska cruise you go to Victoria canda

[@shelcheese8344]

Glad you loved your lobster. Probably not bees. They are wasps and as the queen has died in the fall, they are wildly confused and starving. I’m Canadian and staunchly believe food is of better quality generally here. However it’s better still in Europe!

[@ellengordon2933]

Cold lobster with Mayo on a roll is a lobster salad roll. I’m from Connecticut and will only eat warm lobster with butter on a roll. In my humble opinion, that’s a REAL lobster roll.

[@jenbrooks5872]

I'm from Maine and I agree 100%.. Also, I love garlic and lemon more than most people. However, a lobster roll is about the lobster. Add a bunch of garlic, and now you taste a nice scampi type sauce, but the lobster and roll disappear. It's very delicate. Warm fresh lobster, butter, and a hot dog bun.. Nothing beats one made at home or camp. ❤

[@katcalico9142]

I really hope there was no lobster night on the ship and if there was they sourced local lobster and not what they usually - it is a NE and Canada cruises after all!

[@TEE2323]

The Howells is couple on Gilligan's Island ❤

[@rochelle1117]

Thurston Howell III and his wife, Lovey (Eunice Wentworth Howell).

[@richardvandenarend8149]

So how much were those lobster rolls?

[@alexisbaumann1631]

Lol, the building build in 1833 is warping?? How old are the buildings in Egypt ?? 1000"s of years, never heard of them warping.

[@Kens1911s]

What's y'all's 20, still in UK?

[@dianealvarado6219]

How is the food on your ship?

[@shellytrottier639]

The Howell's

[@marlenemoore4587]

I’m not sure if anyone else may have mentioned this but it is Provence not providence. Oh and no “s” on the end of poutine. 😀

[@willianbrennan414]

What is a Beaver tail???

[@anastas6179]

It's essentially the same thing that is called Fried Dough at fairs/carnivals/amusement parks in the U.S.. they jazz them up with a lot more topping options, though.

[@HereTodayWhereTomorrow]

Connecticut Lobster Rolls are goat. Maine is overrated. Great video guys

[@YakieJ]

We have provinces, not, providences....as you are saying. Just FYI

[@brendalee4672]

Providences?? LOL. That is ok Alisa, we know you're from the STATUE of Louisiana so you wouldn't know any better.🤣

[@ashleys4652]

No one cares about a silly mispronunciation. Someone has too much time on their hands. LOL. 🤣

[@Mmmm-lx7eb]

Is that her accent? Louisiana? Ah.

[@clanzil]

Y’all need to go to Reds in ME for an epic lobster roll.

[@MrJonnydanger]

Quay = key.. just like you use to get in your car

[@peicatsmeow]

Quay ie pronounced “Key”

[@ElizabethVessey]

It is pronounced “key” not “kway” ( quay)

[@KathleenWarburton]

Sorry, but we have provinces, not providence.

[@squiggy8110]

I assume it was Sydney you skipped. Didn’t miss anything. Not exactly a tourist city. Most boring port we’ve ever been in. We did enjoy Charlottetown though.

[@ellenriddick2461]

What the heck is a pootine, and how do you spell it😅😅😅😅

[@anastas6179]

Poutine is fries, gravy and cheese curds. That is the traditional way, but places are getting inventive with different ways to serve them. (But the three main ingredients are consistent, though the type of gravy may be a bit different).

[@ElizabethVessey]

It is pronounced “key” not “kway” ( quay)
