Resto-Bar La Trappe - SLEMON PARK

I learned all about the French Acadian people on my trip to PEI.

We came to the Acadian Musical Village to hear the music in the Barn but wanted to have lunch before hand. Walked into the restaurant to the sound of great music being played on the stage there! Fiddler and guitarist were so good...primed us for the show later. Now to the food. We decided that we should try some of the Acadian menu items and choose the bar clam pie and a dish called rapure. Rapure is a mixture of grated potatoes and pork which is baked until the crust is crispy. That was good but it would have been better with some onion in it. (Onions are kind of like bacon...everything is better with onions)! The bar clam pie was lots of chopped clams in a thick bechamel sauce baked in a pie crust...could be a hand held pie. It was very tasty. For dessert, my husband had a dessert poutine. Various fruits in a pastry with sauce and I had bread pudding with a maple syrup sauce. Yummy! Now we were ready for the show in the Barn!

The food served at La Trappe reflects the French influence to be found on PEI. We enjoyed the meat pies and other typical Arcadian dishes that are not found everywhere on the island. Very good service with a performance of traditional island music provided with our lunch. Good experience.

My family went for supper. We ordered one kids meal, the burger meat portion is small and over burned, but chief refuse to redo it. We will not go back.

The food was delicious. Enjoyed the oysters on the half shell. Lobster & salad & seafood chowder very tasty. Sadly it was nearing the end of the season & some items on the menu were not available.Will return next summer when it's up & running again.Our server was very informative & friendly.
