This new dive delivers savory mollusks — the finest that Prince Edward Island has to offer —  prepared to please all tastes: in the classic style (white wine, garlic, parsley)  plus with Green Curry and Lemon Grass; Delirium Fennel, Lemon and Stilton Cheese; Tomato Fondue, Capers and Garlic; and “Wild-shroom,” Pancetta, Parmesan and Truffle Cream. The mussels be even better with a side of frites with a trio of mayonnaises…

Mussel Bar will also feature döner kebabs (a marinated chicken Turkish delicacy), savory wood-fired tarts. seasonal soups, salads, and sandwiches, and authentic Belgian custard with traditional house-made toppings.

Mussel Bar will offer 150 Belgian beers, including special custom brews and  will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 11am – 11:30pm, with plans to be open on Mondays, as well, come fall.
