Even though Valentine’s Day is on a Monday this year and there may or may not be in-person dining, we have compiled a list of some restaurants in the Charlottetown region to take your loved ones or friends out for a treat.
1. Mr. Sushi Inc: 132 Great George St, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4K6

4. The Jollof House: Ghanaian take out at 517 North River Road
- This restaurant is relatively new and offers a change of pace to PEI in terms of cultural taste from other parts of the world. This Ghanian restaurant only offers takeout at the time which is very convenient if you want a delicious meal to enjoy on the go. Due to the rise in international students at UPEI, this is an amazing place to interact with one of the few African restaurants from another member of the student body. The signature dish is the Jollof rice with chicken and salad which is, in our opinion, one of the best-seasoned dishes ever.

5. Haru KBBQÂ 58 Grafton St, Charlottetown, PE C1A 1K7
- The last spot on our list is another international flavor from South Korea this time. Usually, Korean Barbeque is cooked right at the table in front of you, but due to Covid and fire hazards, Haru brings out precooked Korean flavors right to your table.
