This is a historic shopping & dining area. Interesting collection of shops, restaurants and bars. Quite a variety of shopping to choose from from unique high quality original creations (www.artisansdusable.com, Boutique Emmerance, and several more) to souvenirs. The dining selection runs from the basic Four a Pain to high end Le Bout du Monde with 3 or 4 in between. Café de la Grave, located in a former general store is a must see... especially at night when the spontaneous live music takes hold. Sea glass can be found on the gravely beach.
Merveilleux voyage aux Iles,en auto, coucher ,à l'ile du prince Edward au confort inn. excellent. Les Iles sont superbe . Nous avions la chance d'avoir un couple d`amis qui y vivent. Se fut fantastique
Café de La Grave is not just a restaurant, café or bistro, but truly an institution on les Îles de la Madeleine. What was once a general store in the picturesque village of La Grave, is now the place to enjoy good food, drinks, entertainment and conversation (mostly in French). From early morning until late at night it will be bustling with locals and tourists alike. The menu features comfort foods a la francais. Clan Chowder served in a hollowed boule of bread, fish cakes, venison burgers, and always a daily special featured on the blackboard, are but a few of the staples. The most expensive item on the menu is $15.50 CD. This establishment is now proudly owned and operated by Sonia Painchaud, a very attractive young lady who also entertains with vocals, accordion and piano. The entertainment is impromptu and often includes talented patrons. On numerous occasions, my wife and I have satisfied our appetites for food, beverage and a convivial good time here. This is a must when visiting les Îles de la Madeleine.
the ambiance of La Grave was second to none! The shops, galleries and restaurants made for an unforgettable experience!!
We went on this place a couple of time during our stay on les Iles de la Madeleine. This is a nice spot with many different boutiques and snacks. Really fun to walk there and buy some nice souvenirs.

Boutiques, cafés, aquarium (moins) et musée dans un même coin! Très sympathique!Idéal à visiter par jour de pluie...
Lots of great shopping and the scenery is amazing. Make sure you visit the Artisans du Sable (the sand artists).
Un site rempli d'histoire et un lieu de mémoire: 250 Acadiens y sont arrivés en 1793 après plus d'une trentaine d'années d'errance à la suite des déportations. Ils s'y sont installés, ont pris racine et ont survécu grâce aux ressources de la mer. La Grave, une bande de terre entre deux eaux, un lieu de rencontres et de parlures, il faut s'y promener, faire les boutiques et prendre le temps de s'arrêter au café, le temps d'un latté ou d'une bière locale,
"Mon Hockey," Claude Cormier singing a song about his favourite sport...the tasty tapas at Vent du Large...the soul-stirring sunset...the full moon's reflection and stars twinkling upon the bay...the sound of laughter and live accordion music streaming from Cafe la Grave, where I had the best grilled cheese sandwich...all the places here I didn't experience that will tug my wife and I back to this safe harbour for a Canadian Spy. Tout à fait.
