Shipwright’s Cafe is one of our 8 restaurants being featured at this year’s Hall of Food!

Nestled in the small town of Margate, Shipwright’s was known for its farm-to-table approach in an incredible open-kitchen setting. Each room in the restored farmhouse felt like a different dining experience with two re-imagined bedrooms upstairs converted into the Crow’s Nest and the Library private seatings. From chickens and sheep roaming in the front yard to potatoes and beet greens by the bag full, the place was filled with the bounties of PEI. Known for their seafood chowder and signature peppercorn beef tenderloin, Shipwright’s became a destination for locals and tourists alike for many years. We look forward to re-creating their signature beef tenderloin dish at the Hall of Food!

Today, several impactful chefs who worked with Chef Stefan are having their own impact on the PEI culinary scene. We look forward to welcoming back Chef Stefan and featuring one of his own creations at the Hall of Food!
