Took an hour to get our food. Two out of four of the meals were edible. Mashed potatoes were as if they had been cooked yesterday and sat under the warmer all night, burger was like charcoal. Salmon with garden salad and root vegetables was good, haddock with rice and fries was good. Fish and chips tasted like salty salmon with too much dill. Very hit and miss. Wasn't the best place for a... more

My experience has been mediocre despite the positive reviews from the users before. I had meant to try another local restaurant but could not get a table until 2 hours later. Merchantman was close by our hotel (literally directly across from the Delta) with an assuring amount of patrons inside with a good ambiance.

Being my first time to PEI, I had been having a lot of burgers on the road here... more

We were tired and exhausted, arriving in Charlottetown around 9pm after a long drive. We were staying at the Delta and they pointed us to the Merchant Man for dinner since it's right across the street. We walked in and were seated in the lounge, perfect. The "winter dine" menu was on, so we both chose that: a three course meal for $25. What an excellent choice. The food was delicious, service... more

Ordered the mussels in curry butter sauce for an appetizer. Delicious!! Curry was mild and mussels were cooked to perfection. Extra bun for sopping up the liquid was greatly appreciated. Ordered the fish & chips for main course. First impression was that it was a huge portion. Cutting into the fish we found it was mostly batter. Fries were tolerable. I would not recommend anyone to order the... more

Took advantage of the culinary harvest menu. The potato maple bacon soup was delicious, the chicken was nice and dessert was great. Price was a little high, but a really nice meal. We got relocated to the sister dining area, "Gooners" which was a nice atmosphere, different than the pub scene. Definitely worth the trip for the fall special.

Had nachos here on the outside patio during lunchtime. The potatoes were amazing and the spices wonderful. The salsa tasted like it came directly out of the Tostitos jar, however. Overall, nice spot to eat out doors, close to the main street but not too noisy.

The burgers!!! The burgers!!!

The burgers here are delicious. You have to try the East West Burger. It is ridiculously good. The pickled ginger, cilantro, and cabbage combination is to die for. The burger contains island beef, and is just bursting with flavour! You have to try it! No...you MUST try it.

Another option is the Curry and chips. The fries they serve are excellent, and the curry... more

A burger so good I had to photograph it!

Stumbled across The Merchantman Pub this afternoon during a great day in Charlottetown. First off I was shocked at the size of this place it's big, but still has great charm - cool art on the walls, good music (IMO) etc. Parents - they don't have a kids menu, but offered chicken fingers with fries or salad (that was not on the menu) to my daughter.
She... more

Stumbled upon this place because we couldn't find the actual restaurant we intended to go to, and were too hungry to go scavenger hunting, I was delightfully surprised to be seated at the bar (since all the tables were taken) with plenty of room and great wait service.

They advertise their hamburgers all about this place, and my mother, who came with me here, thoroughly enjoyed hers, so I can... more

This is a pooled rating off of the four of us who ate here recently on our vacation...good food, pretty good atmosphere (though we wished the golf channel wasn't on at the time). Scallops were very good, portobello burger was also very good, and the salmon skewers were inhaled pretty quickly.

The Merchantman Pub

The Merchantman Pub is located in the historic Peake-Carville building near the Charlottetown waterfront and directly across Queen Street from the Delta Prince Edward Hotel. The exterior of the building remains true to its 1856 construction by merchant James Peake. The Carville family would run a business out of the building from 1862 until 1976. The Merchantman became part of the site’s... more

This is one pub/restaurant you wont want to miss on your visit

This is one pub/restaurant you wont want to miss on your visit to charlottetown. It's located on lower queen st, right across from the delta hotel. You may want to make reservations, especially on a friday or saturday evening, or you will be disappointed. Go after work on a friday evening for a drink, or a full meal. My favorite would have to be the toggles and caesar, add this with a glass of... more
