Blue Winds Tea Room — Restaurant in Clinton

The Blue Winds Tea Room is a must go to stop when visiting Green Gables Heritage Place and all things Lucy Maud Montgomery in Cavendish, PEI! While planning our trip to PEI, I was searching for an authentic high tea experienced inspired by the "Anne of Green Gables" author, L.M.

Terry is an amazing cook whose heart has been about tea experiences for the last 20+ years! You definitely do not want to miss this experience! Be sure to book a...

If I was ever in the area again, I would certainly not mind heading in for a quick...

2022 update: The food, people and place are still amazing. Terry & Mark put together a wonderful to go order to take with us this year. (Dine in still an option, we're just still doing take out only right now)

2019: Terry is amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is wonderful. Small dining area is intimate surrounded by lovely art inspired by the region.
