Malpeque Oyster Barn in Malpeque

Malpeque oysters are on the menus of fine restaurants across eastern North America. Get them here fresh off the wharf in this cozy, popular restaurant. We ordered take out from the raw bar (since we had a couple vegetarians in our group) and on the picnic table out behind we slurped back some exquisite large Malpeque oysters and Quehog little neck clams, all expertly juiced up. Delicious.

Every item was fantastic!!! The Pan-fried Oyster Caesar salad was probably the best item, but the mussels were perfection (the small is 20+ mussels), and the oysters were obviously the best you can imagine. My Oyster garnished- oyster Caesar (drink) was also amazing - they use little to no salt in the rim, to compensate for the saltiness in the oyster cocktail.We bumped in to relatives of LMM while we were there.This beach is top tier as well, but make reservations here if you plan to eat around a “meal-time”.

Just wow. Fresh and delicious. Seafood chowder, egg salad, mussels in house sauce, raw oysters... Everything was perfect

When in Malpeque, have Malpeque oysters and quahogs! Small location, with a seafood market on the ground floor and restaurant on the second floor.Not wheelchair accessible.

Absolutely fabulous! Prompt friendly service. Delicious food. Beautiful setting. Reservations recommended as it’s a tiny place. If we lived on PEI, we’d be regulars.

Amazing prices for oysters that were caught within the day. Everything was reasonably priced and delicious with a great view. There's even oysters and other fish for sale if you want to bring home to shuck. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is located on the second floor The main entrance is on the left side of the building. The restaurant is not handicap access. A dozen of large oysters are about 31. Oysters were very hood. The sea food chowder had a unique shrimpy taste with bits of crispy potato's as well as boiled potatoes. Lobster roll was not as good as others we had in PEI. The dining room is cozy and charming. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful. The pace is relaxed and slow, our lunch was 1.5 hours.

Great mussel and oyster feed. Make a reservations, the place is small and popular.

Small but quaint establishment. The oysters and mussels couldn't be any fresher and come from the bay in front. The fish tacos were delicious. My wife loved the mussels, our teenage boys loved the chicken wrap and salad and our 9 year old daughter liked the grilled cheese. The deserts were delicious.Service is fast, friendly and excellent.I'd come back in a heartbeat.

My spouse and I were visiting from Toronto and stayed at NB for a day and a half. We drove 2 hours to PEI in hopes that this restaurant would be open as we really wanted to try their oysters! Thank you for staying opened even on a statutory holiday! The oysters and little necks were fresh as hell, oh my gosh, probably the best in town. I didn’t give a full five stars as the waitress forgot to serve the second round of drinks to us (the restaurant wasn’t busy so, not sure what the mix up was).

This little Oyster Barn has the best mussels (house recipe) in all of Nova Scotia and PEI. Atmosphere is great and the view if your lucky will have some fisherman offload their daily catch while you eat. Only one window seat so best to make a reservation. Local beers are great as well! I’m glad we took the time to stop!

Awesome fresh Oysters. Cozy small place with a very authentic feeling in a fishing village barn and a view of the fishing boats in the harbour. They have a good selection of some Island beer too

My favorite dining experience during our 3-day trip to PEI. Well worth the (beautiful) drive! By far the freshest/cleanest oysters we had all trip and the lightly fried oysters were spectacular. The mussels were also incredibly memorable - nice light flavoring and very fresh. Can’t speak highly enough about the Oyster Barn!

Small quaint restaurant known for its selection of raw Oyster offerings. The Oyster Barn is located on the second level of a fisheries barn near the water on an operational fisheries wharf. The food does not get fresher than this. If you go, consider starting with their garlic lemon mussels and some seafood chowder. Their seared scallops are.delicious, however the serving size might be small with those with big appetites. I reccomend going with a small group of friends and sharing plates family style. Finally, call ahead.for reservations in peak season. Even if they are fully booked if you are staying near by consider calling in an order for pick up and bring it back to where you are staying or bring a blanket and eat take out on the grass by the bay. Enjoy.

Absolutely perfect place! The oysters were incredible.

Out of space sea food - fresh oysters! Cozy and charming place with an outstanding customer service. When in PEI - must visit to appreciate.

Nice oysters and friendly staff.

The Pan Fried Oysters here are amazing!!!! Absolutely worth going out of your way for but I'd recommend the park too. The view and atmosphere are great as well Scallops were delicious 😋 Make a reservation by the window

​The oysters are all the rave, as are the scallops. Kid menu available as well. Cozy place with only a few tables and a nice view of the docks. Friendly and efficient service, though the staff looked visibly tired with the non-stop arrival of customers. Reservations recommended as there is a long wait for those without (we waited 45 minutes).

OMG! I could eat Oysters all day. The pan fried oysters were to die for.Melissa was our server. What a sweetheart. Thank you for the Malpeque beer glass😉.Andrew shucked my dozen raw Oysters. Loved the sweet rhubarb sauce that was with it. Very friendly staff. We hope to return before we leave the island in a week. So glad we showed up when we did. It was quiet. Such a quaint little place and apparently you are safest to make a reservation.

Incredible oysters. Very friendly and knowlegabe staff. I got a great private class on how they farm the oysters and other seafood. You definitely have to check out this place

Eating oysters right beside the water they came out of is wonderful. Easy to miss this quaint restaurant, as it is on the second floor of an old fishing barn (main floor sells seafood) but worth finding. A must for seafood lovers.

Great food. Haddock was amazing. Oysters great. Not the world’s cheapest place, but the service was top-notch and super-friendly. Perfect little dining room with a great vibe.

Fresh malpeque oysters , medium size at 12 for $26. Plump and sweet. Also tried their Quahog clams were big too a bit briny but still good. Ceaesar salad had lots of bacon and parmesan croutons. Best to make a reservation as the place fits around 20 people

Hidden gem of delicious seafood. This small wharf side restaurant was a delight to dine at. Friendly service, absolutely delicious food and oozing with charm and local character. A staple for every visit to PEI.

With only six or seven small tables available, we were luck to get a table right away as the place soon filled up. If you have questions about oysters, muscles, clams quahogs and the like, this is the place where the live and breathe the stuff. Mapeque Bay has the best oysters hands down anywhere in the world and you'll get the best of them served here at the Oyster Barn. Fish cakes were delicious. Fish taco and scallops very nice too. Kids menu available for those too young to take down a fresh oyster.

As fresh as fresh can be. Delicious, accommodating and friendly staff.

Amazing food I got the lobster roll and baked potatoes it was excellent. The house recipe mussels are amazing.

Delicious food and lovely service. It was busy when we got there but they sat us at a temporary table and pulled up an extra chair for us until there was a free bigger table. There service was fast. We had the mussels with house sauce - phenomenal, and the pan fried oysters, also delicious!

You'll go past the front market and up the narrow stairs to some great food. Obviously the mussels, class, and oysters were awesome! Local beers in tap earns extra points.

The best place for fresh and EXCELLENT oyster. A must go when you visit PEI.

The best oysters in Canada. Excellent food and service. Chowder was wonderful. Everyone should go for oysters.

Came here for the oysters of course, we split a dozen large, they were very plump. We also had the chowder, it's distictive, different from other chowders, we both enjoyed it. The lobster roll was very ordinary.

If it was possible to rate this place 10 stars I gladly would. If you are serious about eating fresh seafood when in P-E-I then you gotta come to this restaurant. Set in a gorgeous small village and nested in a tiny fishing harbour, this gem is going to blow away any oyster, clam and mussel connaisseur. The seafood is FRESH like you've never experienced before anywhere! You will never eat anything that was fished more than a day. Service is super fast and so friendly. Everything on the menu is to die for but do try the oysters. They are absolutely perfect. A very small place but big on freshness and quality. An absolute must when in P-E-I

Our first meal in PEI on our vacation and probably my favourite restaurant of the whole trip. Honestly, the best lobster roll sandwich I've ever had. You need a reservation, as it's not a very big place.

Superb oysters, great view of the harbour, lovely folks!

Great food and service....and view... But be sure to make a reservation

Fresh seafood and a nice assortment of local beers. Friendly service in a charming, traditional venue. Scenic views.

Small seafood restaurant located right by the docks. Had excellent, fresh quahogs with a large sampling of hot sauces made on PEI. The mussels with house sauce were delicious, salty with butter and a hint of garlic. Mrs. had the pan fried haddock which she took with a side of baked potato and greens. Our daughter had the grilled cheese and stole some of my mussels. All around a great experience.

A absolutely fresh and spectacular oyster and clam experience right at the source. Can’t get better that this.

Great pan fried oysters and mussels! Fresh oysters also amazing. Contrary to Google, they are open at 11 am during summer months.

A must visit! I dont think its possible to get fresher oysters, unless you catch them yourself. The place is cute, small and cosy. Best to reserve the table if you plan to visit. The village where it located is very picturesque.

If there is a heaven I hope it features places such as this. Right on the water. No frills. No attitude. Simple, delicious, fresh, and luscious sea food. The oysters are as fresh as can be. The beer is cold. The mussels are divine. Hands down this was some of the best food on PEI.

Malpeque oyster are super juicy and fresh. Oyster barn rockefeller are crispy outside and soft inside. Best restaurant of pei. Small and cozy place, you might want to make reservations to have the romantic table by the window. Friendly staff. You can buy fresh seafood on the first floor.

Very good food but little bit too pricy.

Omg oysters 3 ways and each so so devine! We had them raw, we had them pan fried with the most perfect light salad that was so pretty and delicious (and much needed by this point is the trip!) and foamy oysters Rockefeller. The last two were new forms of eating oysters to my friend and I and we were both really amazed with how much we loved them. After eating oysters in a land locked big city, it was an amazing treat to eat them by the Bay they were grown. Just phenomenal!

Make sure you make a reservation! This lil gem was booked but after the motorcycle ride we took, we took it "to go" and sat outside and enjoyed the fresh oysters. They were shucked right in front of us. Highly recommend the smalls! Amazing!!

Wonderful little seafood restaurant on the harbour. The seafood chowder was delicious, next time I will try the oysters!

amazing oysters and mussels, probably the best I have ever had. definitely make reservations as it's a tiny place. super friendly service.

Love when restaurants go above and beyond. The restaurant was full inside and was booked for the rest of the evening, so we asked to eat outside. They said they don't allow outside eating but made an exception for us with a small order (6 oysters and a large order of steamed mussels). The food was so good and we got to try the restaurant that we drove 40 min to get to. Love it!
