For a quick pick-me-up while traversing the city, try Beanz Espresso Bar & Café at 38 University Ave. (tel. 902/892-8797), just a block from Province House. The espresso drinks are good, and they also sell pastries, sandwiches, soups, and other light items.

A block north from Beanz, Cedar's Eatery at 81 University Ave. (tel. 902/892-7377) is a locally popular spot for inexpensive meals. Lebanese dishes are the specialty: things like yabrak (stuffed vine leaves) and kibbe (ground beef with crushed wheat and spices). There are also sandwiches and burgers. They're also open late for Charlottetown, until 11pm -- a boon when you've got the late-night munchies.
