What is the name of that pub/restaurant and can anyone recommend anything else to check out?It's on the water in the hamlet. It's the only restaurant in North Rustico. Small in P.E.I. is really small when compared to Ontatio. The restaurant is excellent and you can't miss it. It's on the water down in the bay.

Patchoulia Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 According to Margot, the local diner is good, but you smell like grease and/or fries ALL DAY if you eat there...they've recently added a VEGGIE burger to their menu...ooooooooh.... Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 It should be noted however that if you are not from PEI (born there or your family was- not totally sure on the laws)......You pay more for things like property taxes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBOC Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hopefully we won't have to pay property taxes for our stay at the resort! Ha!I like golfing but am not a serious golfer. I mostly like the drinking and socializing and outdoors aspects. We are hitting up a couple other courses as well. (crowbush?) The package deal included cabin accomodations and all the golf you can handle. My first time in PEI and I cannot wait to see her.And... i always smell greasy.

Esau. Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hey Scott, we we're talking about our yearly canoe journey last week and I believe (but would have to check) part of the route involved the Irondale River, start around Gooderham and finish in or around Kinmount (I think we'll continue on from there). Are you anywhere near Furnace Falls? I know my buddy mentioned that place. Perhaps we'll paddle right by ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5km west of Gooderham (which is on the way to Kinmount). if it's on a weekend, I'll meet ya at the river with a couple cold 50's it's a really great area..you'll love how private the river still is in some places (like our chunk of shoreline). (see below) you should check out the best movie theatre in the world while you are in Kinmount Highlands Cinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bug Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 This is really weird to come on here and find a thread about where I live!For the record:$200,000 is WAY too much for a two bedroom cottage here! There is one for sale on our road for $130,000, and I was told that's a rip off.There are 5 restaurants in North Rustico. Jaimoe, I think you might be talking about the Blue Mussel Cafe? Just because that's the only one I haven't been to, but I wouldn't describe any of the other ones as a "pubs" or "excellent".Yes, the diner makes you smell like french fries all day. I still haven't tried the veggie burger, but I had the pancakes on the weekend and they tasted like donuts.The property taxes are higher for "non-residents". I'm pretty sure that means if your home/cottage on PEI isn't your primary residence, not if you weren't born here. DBOC, if you're at Rustico Resort, there's a fancy restaurant right nearby called Dayboat. I haven't eaten there yet (fancy!), but I've heard good things (award winning chef, etc.). As far as places I have eaten at, I definitely recommend the Cafe on the Clyde/PEI Preserve Company in New Glasgow, but they're seasonal so they might not be open by the long weekend. Schwa, awesome pictures! I'm sad you won't be able to make it out here again this summer!I found my password! I can post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I really liked "The Blue Mussel Cafe" and my fish was excellent there. So was the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've heard good things about it, and I've been meaning to go for a while. Since it's a bit out of the way I always forget that it's there. It's another seasonal one and I always remember in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 "Schwa, awesome pictures! I'm sad you won't be able to make it out here again this summer!"I'm disappointed I can't make it either bug, but it's so damn beautiful out there I can't stay away for long. MISS YA!
