“ My girlfriend Caroline and I enjoyed stellar service, and some of the best fish and chips we’ve ever had! Thanks so much for the hot cuppa and the even warmer welcome! Round 2: We finally made it back, and immediately ordered another round of fish and chips. Lol. I had so very much wanted to try something else such as the Irish breakfast, but once I saw another patron served the fish and chips... I couldn’t help myself and ordered a two piece. It became my supper as well. Caroline made our visit so much fun! Round 3: We reserved a table and headed up to the restaurant for the Irish Breakfast complete with Irish white and black pudding. Caroline and I simply loved the white pudding, but we both agreed that neither of us would have shared our black pudding. It had a distinctive flavour to it that was wholly new to me. The soda bread she serves as part of the breakfast was wonderful, and I found myself savouring the flavour and texture of the bread, especially those bits that had become a heavier crust on the grill. I went through the entire pot ow tea while my girlfriend Caroline’s coffee cup never ran dry. Round 4: We looked at the menu, but I had already decided I wanted another lovely Irish Breakfast again, as did Caroline, and today there was some lovely store baked bread. Caroline called it raisin bread, but I don’t remember any raisins, just lovely butter topped thick bread. I had a strawberry tart with cream (more of a custard...) that was heavenly! There was a magnificent strawberry compote at the bottom of all that lovely cream! Wow! Round 47: If you walk in and Caroline has “brown sweet bread” in the display case, order that with your meal. I enjoyed it so much. Today my girlfriend Caroline and I had the ragout of pork and an Irish breakfast fry up. The show stopper was the pork sausage patty with mace that reminded me of the English Bangers I used to make. Absolutely brilliant and well received. Her home cured bacon was wonderful. I enjoyed everything the I ate today, including the lemon Bakewell tart and the bits of cinnamon bun that my girlfriend shared with me. The food is fantastic but is outshined by the service and atmosphere. ”
“ I loved this place so much that I went back during the course of my vacation. Delicious food and Caroline is friendly, kind, and the BEST cook! Also I'd like to add: I read a nasty review about Caroline below and I would like to say- those patrons must have been atrocious because I went to The Home Plate multiple times and Caroline was smiling and kind to every customer she interacted with. ”
“ We were in PEI for a hockey tournament looking for a place to eat in between games. Found this gem. Best fish and chips we’ve ever had and we are from Nova Scotia so have tried many. If in the area definitely worth a stop and if not in the area worth going for a drive! ”
“ The best dessert I've ever had, the banana and caramel tart is out of this world and the fish and chips are the best on the island. This is coming from two city gals who travel the world and know good food. Highly recommend it.! ”
“ Absolutely the best place to eat. The food, the owner and her awesome personality are better than you could ever imagine. You simply won’t believe it until you try it. We drive an hour each way to experience it. Love everything ”
“ 5/5 is a no brainer. The ingredients are all local sourced and you can taste the greatness. The club sandwich was so good, you can see that the chicken, the bread, the cheese and the bacon are all from around here and are made with love. We tried the fish and chips and it is the best for a reason. Also, the fries are excellent, may I say the best I’ve tasted on the island! ”
“ We were there on a Monday afternoon and we didn’t have many options but the food quality and the level of service was amazing!! We were given a free appetizer and the server was the funniest lady, her jokes and conversation were worth going for alone. I would suggest to go on the weekend maybe for more choice. But I would recommend this place to anyone visiting PEI ”
“ We stopped at "The Home Plate" because it was the first restaurant we saw and we were starving.. What a nice and delicious surprise!!! The owner has a great sense of humour and beautiful dispositions. Simple food made with love and knowledge. The best fish and chips we had in a very long time. Thank you Caroline! ”
