It was bad

Even dishes as simple as dumplings, fried rice, and spring rolls were bad. I'm a terrible cook but I can make better food than that

Sides were delicious

We ordered fries, samosas, and spring rolls and they were all delicious.

Good and basic at the same time

The menu has many many options and the spring rolls and sauce were delicious, however, the burgers were a bit dried and a bit tasteless. The service is great, and the guy working there was very nice and the ice tea they have is also very good!

Disappointing

I always want to support fully vegan places, but the Jerk "Chicken" sandwich left something to be desired. The bread was great. The tofu had a nice crispy breading, but the actual tofu was very bland. It tasted like they didn't put any flavor before breading the tofu. For a fully vegan place I would expect more flavour in the dish.

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Needs more flavour

Disappointing

Love that this is a fully vegan restaurant, however, the food leaves a lot to be desired. The texture of the burgers is pretty terrible, the chicken is weirdly spongy and gelatinous and the burger patty falls apart easily. None of this would matter if they tasted delicious, but they really don’t. Disappointing overall. But the fries are good!

Pros: Vegan only

Cons: Lacking flavour

Super tasty!

The food here is great, really flavourful and good quality. We had the 'chili fried chckn' bun and it did not disappoint! The hoisin garlic aioli was so good and the tofu was crispy and well seasoned. Will be back!

Pros: Large selection , Good quality , Friendly staff

Good mix of styles and healthy/fun foods

Unfortunately got there minutes before they closed at 8pm so their grills were closed.

Ordered momos, pakoras and samosas. Not very spicy (good for the kids) but still tasty.

Opted to eat outside, lots of outdoor seating available just outside the market hall.

Will try to.come back for a burger next time!

Pros: Can walk around while food is being prepped, Asian and North American food options, Everything from salads to deep fried pakoras

Cons: No proper seating, Closes early - 8pm

Neah.. Boring and tasteless

I went there because of the good reviews..
the experience was disappointing. The food was tasteless and boring, lacking the flavor and excitement I hoped for. It's meals like these that perpetuate the stereotype of vegan food being bland, making people pity those who choose a plant-based diet. I hope they can improve their recipes to show that vegan food can be delicious and satisfying. Also expensive.

Cons: Expensive for what you get, Boring, Tasteless

Oh no! I’ve not been there since it changed ownership. Sounds like it’s not what it was before.

Very tasty

We went on a not so great day. They were having staff issues so they were very limited on food options. But I had a taco bowl and it was perfect. The menu is great!

Very friendly people work here. They helped explain more when we had questions about the menu. The serving size was BIG and the burgers were very messy was the only con. Make sure to get extra napkins! The Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie was very moist and sweet. 100% Vegan 🌱

An "OK" experience

Stir It Up is a fully vegan cafe/resturant thay offer 7 warm dishes, 4 cold dishes, soft drinks, and pastries. I appreciate that Stir It Up is fully vegan, but I was sadly not impressed. The food was okay, but nothing special. The "Sweet Chilli Killer Fried Chick'Un" was ok, "Macaroni salad" was very garlicky and "Chick'Un Nugs and Chips" was ok. The nuggets were mushy inside, almost like a paste, but the outside was good and crunchy. The fries were ok.

I understand that the restaurant/cafe is located in a food court, but I was a bit disappointed that the food came in plastic/paper containers. Even the cutlery was single use plastic.

Pros: Fully vegan cafe/resturant , Glutenfree options

Cons: Single use containers & cutleries

Good Solid Choice

The Moonless Mac was good, though maybe a bit dry. I think the bun was the issue there
I liked the macaroni salad and it was a big portion for the price.

Great addition to a food hall

They are fully vegan and have gf options as well.

Had the mooless Mac burger and a Caesar salad. I picked out the croutons but I think the bacon bits were not gf so be aware of that if you're gf. (It isn't listed as being gf, I'm just not super duper allergic to gluten).

The burger was OK. I LOVED the gf bun. Probably one of the best gf buns ever!

Really liked the homemade patties instead of an impossible or beyond patty. It wasn't saucy enough though. Needed a lot more sauce.

I'd come back, but it wouldn't be my first inclination.

Pros: Gf options clearly labeled

So yummy!

On a cold and rainy day in June, this vegan spot near the cruise port is a gem in the red PEI soil. We had the buffalo chick’un Caesar wrap and the Caribbean Dahl soup! Both were delicious and flavorful.

Cons: Wish we were in Charlottetown longer.

Was closed

My ship docked in Charlottetown and I took the opportunity to go here for lunch but it was closed even tho google says should have been open. I went to the pizza place a couple stalls up and got a vegan pizza which was also delicious (serves meat, vegan options available).

I came the week before and it was open and I got the chick’un Caesar wrap and a brownie which were both delicious.

A lot of pictures posted here must be either an old menu or a dinner menu because there were no burgers on offer when I went.

Overall really good.

Pros: Brownie, Caesar wrap, Very friendly service

Cons: Was closed when expected open, Smaller menu than I thought

Soooo yummy!

Well, they know me by name, lol. Absolutely delicious vegan food, the KFC (killer fried ChickUN) is absolutely amazing. I order food for non-veg physicians from out of province and they have loved SIU immensely, as have my coworkers. Always fresh and delicious. Something for everyone.

Pros: Variety, Freshness, Taste

Plan to go more than once.

Wish we’d found this place as soon as we got to Charlottetown! Split the Buffalo Killer Fried Chick’Un & Cremini Poutini between two of us and it was a good amount for dinner. Flavours were fantastic, menu creative and enticing. The crew were amicable and attentive.

Pros: Incredibly friendly crew, Delicious all-vegan menu, Reasonable prices

Cons: Now I don’t want to eat anywhere else

Unforgettable

I’m still thinking about it 3 years later. Amazing options, even gluten free sandwich breads. Smoky tofu, awesome. Crispy jerk, awesome. Meatball sub, awesome. Wouldn’t change a thing about these mind-blowing offerings!

Amazing buffal seitan chicken sandwich!

This was my first time trying Stir it Up and it was amazing. The sandwich was 10/10 and the brownie was really good too. Love supporting fully vegan businesses.

Cons: None

Just Incredible.

I wish I could eat here every day. Had lunch here on a quick visit to PEI and all 3 of us loved our meals. I had the Whaler and it was the closest thing to “fish” that I can remember having as a vegan. Perfect for being by the sea. I cannot wait to come back and wish I’d been able to go more than once during my visit.

Pros: Everything

Absolutely insane!!

SO GOOD. I can’t even get over how incredible this place was. It didn’t open until the last day of our vacation (closed Monday & Tuesday , Wednesday’s 11-4) otherwise we would have eaten here every day no joke. We had the spicy jerk burger, sweet chili killer fried chick’un burger and moo less Mac fries. We ordered the loaded jack fries but they were out of jackfruit so substituted it for the moo less and it was the BEST. Everything was just amazing, jam packed with flavour and such fun drool worthy choices, so happy and grateful for this place!

Pros: Fully vegan , Big portions

Cons:

Wish I could give them 10 stars!

I have eaten vegan food all over North America and no body does it better than Stir it Up. Vegan comfort food made with heart and soul. A required stop in PEI for everything from gorgeous salads to killer burgers and sweets. So lucky to have these guys on our little Island!

Pros: Crispy Jerk sandwhich, Onion rings, House salad with maple vinegrette

Cons: Not close enough to my house!
