Where to Eat in Prince Edward County

Farm-to-table dinners, easy lunches, great coffee and bakeries — across Picton, Wellington and Bloomfield.

The County eats very well for its size. The restaurants lean farm-to-table — short menus built around what's growing and what the lake and nearby farms are producing — and they cluster in the three main villages of Picton, Wellington and Bloomfield. Book ahead for dinner in summer.

For daytime, there are excellent cafés and bakeries for coffee, pastries and lunch between wineries. Below are the places to eat we send guests to, mapped and sorted by distance from the house.
