I have been dining here for years now, chef Emily is second to none her food is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful, the art and atmosphere are one of a kind, nothing else like it on PEI. The best food on PEI.

The store was full of interesting trinkets, some seemed a tad over priced, but the quality and workmanship were amazing, so I guess they are worth it. Didn't really look at the gallery or cafe. The garden in the back is what caught my attention & my sister and I spent a good hour back there, taking pictures and just... More

We were delighted to discover the Dunes is not only a lovely restaurant serving well-crafted and delicious food but also one of the (very) few providers of espresso coffee on the island outside of Charlottetown. After days of eating so-so and uninspiring meals at other spots on the Island, we were so very thankful to find a place that takes... More

The selection of products at this gallery and the quality of the products is exceptional, A+++. Then there is the amount displayed and available for purchase...You can go up and down stairs, in and out of little nooks and crannies, see artists and crafts people at their work, the selection is phenomenal. You can buy art for your walls, art... More

It is a must to visit in PEI! We went there on the end of our trip to PEI and we wished we had gone there earlier. The gardens are magnificent and there is the most amazing driftwood furniture for sale in the gardens, not cheap though, $1500 Canadian for a chair. There is a gallery of paintings and they... More

I would suggest making a reservation. The food was to die for. So many wonderful choices in all categories and equally as delectable I am sure. We had the crab cakes (appetizer) tomato pie with carmelized onions (main) and bread pudding (dessert) on TA recommendation. Believe me even if even the thought of bread pudding turns you off as it... More

Food is wonderful and setting is paradise. The grounds are emmaculate and they have very many unique items for sale in the Art Gallery. We ate once for lunch and once for supper, but I would recommend eating at lunch time since it is more reasonable

The Dunes is amazing! The gardens are exquisite and the gallery is a feast for the eyes! Speaking of feasts, if you visit the Dunes you have to try the cafe. I think it is about the best food on the Island (and there are a lot of great eating spots in PEI). The service is great, the food is... More

We love The Dunes Studio Gallery & Cafe, situated just outside of PEI's National Park. The setting is spectacular, the gardens are amazing and the selection of art and related objects is arguably the best in Atlantic Canada. The selection of pottery, (made on the premises), glass, jewelry, wooden objects, household accessories and clothing is outstanding. To go to PEI... More

We just popped into Dunes thinking it was a good place to get out of the rain, only to find that it has a huge collection of high quality island crafts, a fabulous restaurant, and (when the rain stopped) a beautiful garden. If you're anywhere near that part of PEI, don't miss it.
