Restaurants in Peterborough

“stop in just about every Monday for the 1/2 price wings, always done to perfection. Looked after by Ashley, she is the best.”

“The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is exceptional!”

“Vik was so accommodating and welcoming and told me to let him know if I didn’t like the burger. I don’t write reviews often but this is worth the review, the burger and fries were both incredible. Best burger I’ve had in a long time. Will be back”

“October 6, 2023 This afternoon we had a delightful meal with excellent service. The quality of the food was full of authenticate flavours and freshly prepared. We look forward to enjoying many more experiences dining here. Thank you! Barbie”

“Poco Burro is absolutely my favourite burrito place in Peterborough! They have a good selection of fresh toppings and sauces, and I always love to chat when I come in for my work lunch breaks (almost every day lol). Along with all the classic protein options like carnitas, pollo asado, and barbacoa, they actually have a solid selection of vegetarion options that go beyond just bean and cheese or sauteed veggies. Though their bean and cheese burrito is nothing to be slept on. If you're looking for a solid, reliable staple burrito place, you've found it.”

“Amazing flavors ! can't wait to come back and try more of them !”

“I've been a loyal customer of this family owned restaurant since shortly after they opened. their perfectly seasoned Shawarma is the area's best, and they have some interesting regional offerings worth exploring. They offer great food, friendly service, and the premises are well kept. I recommend checking them out.”

Delicious food, warm, attentive staff. Can’t beat it. They also do a lot for vulnerable people in Peterborough’s downtown core without advertising it, which shows it’s being done in a genuine way. Highly recommend 🍕”

The food was delicious and I was beyond impressed with the presentation and flavours. Samantha, was our server and she went the extra mile to make our dining experience a pleasant one. She helped answer questions about the menu and tended to our table in a professional and warm matter. Top notch service!”

“such a great atmosphere, amazing staff (always above and beyond) food is fantastic (kitchen staff id like to meet you), cold drinks, and easy to make friends. Always a great time.”

“I’ve always enjoyed Swiss Chalet”

“This review reflects my opinion of the restaurant as a place to get a quick take-out pizza. I'm actually not happy with this Boston Pizza for messing up my order, but I appreciate the attempts to make it right well enough to recommend the place. The employees tried their best, and they were busy. $33 for a medium pepperoni pizza, though..? It was good pizza, sure, but not really worth it for quick take-out. I think you have to get a table and dine-in to fully appreciate the price.”

“good food and awesome service.”

“7+ years ago we dined here for our first date and never dreamed this restaurant could get any better. Well they proved us wrong. It was amazing!! Still the prettiest place inside! Best bruchetta & caesar salads we've had anywhere! Had to sample the lobster mac n cheese, seafood gorgonzola & Marty recommended the wagyu steak. He even brought the meat out to show us. It was a true beauty! Leftovers to take home, desserts, coffee & an espresso martini made this a meal we won't soon forget! We already can't wait to come back! ♡”

“My aunt‘s favourite restaurant before she passed was Red Lobster. Our family decided to get together in her memory at one of our homes, and we asked Amir, manager of Peterborough Red Lobster if it was possible to have it catered. He enthusiastically jumped in, made suggestions. He actually organized the entire menu. 30 people gathered. The food arrived and it was magnificent. Such a variety. I am pretty sure it was almost everything from their menu and more!!! There was something for every guest to enjoy and they did. If anyone is thinking of hosting such an event, I would strongly recommend recommending contacting Amir and he had his kitchen crew will impress. Thank you, Amir and your staff.”

In the rating system we would rate Berc’s at a 10++.”

The service truly set this place apart. Matt, the event coordinator, was organized, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish, making the entire planning process stress-free. On the day of the event, Tara led the staff with professionalism and warmth. She and her team were attentive, efficient, and genuinely kind, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that our guests felt well taken care of.

This restaurant was the perfect setting for such a special occasion, and we are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our baptism celebration memorable. We highly recommend it for any special event or a nice lunch or dinner.

“We ordered some pizza’s through Skip the Dishes.. Skip the Dishes misrepresented the pizza I ordered, so needless to say I was disappointed when it arrived.. I called Papa’s Pizzaland and they said that Skip the Dishes had made a mistake.. I contacted Skip the Dishes and they gave us a credit.. 25 mins later we see someone pull into our driveway.. It was Papa’s Pizzaland delivering the pizza we originally wanted in a larger size for no charge..!! What amazing customer service.!! My recommendation, order directly through Papa’s Pizzaland and avoid the Skip the Dishes issues…”

“Such a food service and never disappoint. Amazing work and quick.”

“Enjoyable lunch. Started with a welcome greeting and smile from staff. From ordering the food to being presented with the hearty soup and beer bread, it made our winter day. The home made chicken sausage veggie and spinach soups were awesome!!! We will return to try the other soups.”

“I simply want to say that the staff that work at this Tim Horton location are absolutely amazing. They deal with so many eclectic human beings and they all do their very best each and every day. I have watched both the staff and the owners come and speak with individuals and help them when they can. The other day there was a lovely, timid, young woman in this store and both a man, who was very careful not to intrude and the owner (female) spoke to the young woman and helped her through a serious crisis (she was obviously physically abused). They sat with the young girl and at one point, I did hear part of the conversation where both the owner and the gentleman were brough to tears and I then followed. These individuals who work at this Tim Hortons care, work VERY hard and deal with A LOT each day. I ask that the patrons of this restaurant appreciate that and treat each member of this Tim Hortons team with the respect that they deserve. There are certainly times when persons have had to be asked to leave but welcome to our world and it is handled as best as it can be. Thank you for letting me share my experience Rhonda”

“Awesome job ladies! They know our orders and our names and give our day a lovely start!”

“I recently used Tracey's That's A Wrap catering to provide food for 100 people at a surprise birthday party at The Peterborough Rugby Club building at Nicholls Oval.. I had rented the fully licensed clubhouse for the occasion ,and as it happens ,she is the sister of the part-time bar manager at the club ,Kait .This made things very easy to coordinate the occasion .EVERYONE wanted to know who did the food and complimented the quality ,variety and taste .As well as sumptuous wraps, there were fruit ,veggie and pickle trays ,as well as spring rolls ,and varied deserts . Tracey volunteered to help get things going for the first hour of a three hour party, and she left right at the end ! That was service way beyond expected.. She had some food left over and this was taken to facilities in town which she knew would use it .No waste !! I would certainly recommend Tracey for any future similar occasions and parties. She has to be the best in town !”

“We were presently surprised with the food and service here. We used to live a 5 minute walk from greek town the danforth in Toronto. Lived there for 43 years We were able to get authentic greek food when ever we wanted. Since moving up north 4 years ago we haven't been able to find good greek food that is until now. The food was fabulous just like the Danforth. Very friendly server and great portions at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place if your in the mood for some for some good greek food.”
