Can sit and dine with dogs on street patios!! We were able to sit in gated areas first time but then next time had to sit on street.

Victoria Row is a quiet pedestrian walkway with restaurants, cafes and gift shops. It is the heart of Charlottetown's shopping area.

We loved our time on this little stretch of history. Live music, food, no annoying cars, lots of energy and great memories.

Once known as the market center of the city, the original Victoria Row was destroyed by the "Great fire" of 1866. Victoria Row today is a summertime pedestrian walkway with restaurants, cafes and gift shops in very impressive brick buildings. It's very enjoyable to hang out here, and sometime you even have a chance to listen to live music.

There are various businesses here, including restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. You can enter the street from either end. The 'Victorian row' sign is at the main street end.

We were visiting Charlottetown on their annual Farmer's Day (2019 - Oct 6), and the downtown was crammed with visitors and locals enjoying the city. We walked through Victoria Row, and checked out a couple of their Scottish inspired shops, and came home with some nice souvenirs. Having pedestrian areas is so important for downtown areas!

SHOP! Eat, drink and have fun! This used to be Richmond St and was a route to the Basilica, the court houses and right into Historic Charlottetown. Now it is rare to see vehicles there so sitting outside at a cafe is quiet and safe! By the way, IF you are going to the the theatre this could be a good area to eat pre-show. AND it is a very short walk to the Delta PE.

What are the dates it is annually closed to traffic? "Summer months" I know it is pedestrian-only - any more specifics?

In 2016 it closed to traffic May 14th. I'm not sure the exact date it will open to traffic in the fall but we've been there as late as September 25th and it was still pedestrian only.

Where are the best PEI Mussels to be eaten at lunchtime?

I have had a lot of great mussels all over PEI, but my favourites have been at places with great food and especially genuine atmosphere--i.e. restaurants not owned by a corporate chain. Victoria row is one of my favourite places to go for the vibe and music, but it is not known for good food.
For mussels and any seafood, I would check out the "Mom and Pop" style places that are conservatively sprinkled around the Island.
In Charlottetown, at lunchtime:
- "The Water Prince Corner Shop" wins hands down for seafood: lobster, mussels, etc., home-made pies, etc..
- If you don't mind a slightly larger establishment with a charming Irish bar vibe (kids are ok until a certain hour in the evening), the Olde Dublin Pub has fabulous mussels and chowder. They USED to have an amazing all you can eat deal (sorry, you missed out).
- You can't do get better than mussels (or anything else) at Terre Rouge.
Elsewhere:
- North Rustico, check out "The Blue Mussel Café"--great mussels, but also the best (tastiest AND biggest) lobster roll I've ever had that wasn't made by my Mom.
- New Glasgow Preserve Company is a great lunchtime place, and you have to try their raspberry pie.
These are all great places to have mussels.
"The Pearl Eatery" in Rustico is amazing, but I've only eaten there for dinner.
As for my credentials, I lived for 20 years on the Island with foodie parents, and have been back for a few weeks every summer for the last 15.
