The Lost Anchor

If you travel to PEI and are looking for a great dining experience, The Lost Anchor is just the place for scrumptious fare. Our family group arranged reservations for a party of 11 adults and 2 infants and were seated promptly on time. While the menu was simple, EVERY selection we made was perfectly presented with delicious local ingredients and voluminous servings.
With a group this large, one would expect delays, but our server Hayley pulled it off without errors. No one waited, and each meal was made exactly as ordered. Hats off to the kitchen staff and Hayley! Well done!

We'll be back next summer!

All I can say is “holy sh*t!” I personally thanked the chef for making me question everything in my life that brought me to where I am. The scallops were a life altering dish, and the locally sourced garlic mashed potatoes were a perfect accompaniment, alongside the fresh asparagus.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Excellent local restaurant in the heart of Cavendish!

Portions are large, and there are plenty of vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options available.

Their patio has two levels, so lots of room to enjoy the sunshine with a local beverage and fresh lobster. They also have high chairs and coloring/crayon activities for children.

Strongly recommend the red pepper dip to share with friends. Their fish and chips are generously portioned with big slabs of fish and great fries! Burrito bowl is just fair - would have liked the beans and rice to be warmer so it would help melt the shredded cheese but it was still tasty with their "comeback sauce".

Overall a nice dine-in option when you're in the area visiting or on vacation.

A group of us ate there tonight (adults and children) and the food was amazing! The chicken burger was huge and so good and the food all came quickly. The service was above and beyond (we had Denise and cannot say enough good things!) Denise recommended the Tiramisu for dessert and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was very family friendly and inviting! We are already planning to go back next week! Highly recommend!

Absolutely LOVED our experience here. My boyfriend and I came here with our 2 friends on a chilly day, and sat inside. The atmosphere was very cottage-homey and noise level wasn’t too quiet / awkward or too loud for such a small space. From start to finish the hostess / servers were wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The food was very good, at reasonable prices. 2 had the captains (smash) burger, and 2 had the chicken sandwich. The table also ordered drinks, mussels, a summer salad, and 3 deserts. Bill was approx 250.00 for the table with tax and tip.

Our friend from the UK was blown away by the bread pudding and said it’s the best he’s had in his two years in Canada. The summer salad dressing was the only thing we found could use an improvement, as we just found the Dijon Mustard was an odd flavor / the flavors didn’t mesh well for us, but no biggie at all! Maybe ask for their blueberry vinaigrette instead ☺️ Thanks for such an awesome evening! ♥️
