We were lucky to get a seat for five within minutes at lunch time on a Friday. Obviously very Belgian-themed decor with Stella and other glasses strewn about. The menu has plenty of Belgian food and a pretty solid selection of beers at rock-bottom prices. So far this is the cheapest I’ve seen a Rochefort 10, I think it was $8.75 or $9.25 or something. I had a prime rib sandwich special that was quite delicious

Stopped in Friday afternoon for lunch with a few ratebeerians. The place is separated into a few different rooms with a bar area. Nicer interior, most decorations are Belgian beer themed. Solid selection, most of the beer menu is made up of Belgian ales with a few others represented. Food menu was relatively small, but I believe it was just a lunch menu, plus all the food looked great. I had a killer sandwich. Delicious. Staff was friendly and pretty quick. It’s definitely a great place for a beer. I’d definitely drink AND eat here often if I lived in the area

Update (Dec 12, 2007). I have eaten here quite a few times, recently, and it is really growing on me. The food, that is. I’ve always liked the beers. A few of the items still seem a little heavy on the oil, but everything tastes good. I’ve actually had some really good sandwiches. It’s still too crowded, but the servers are friendly and quite competent. Beer selection is outstanding.

I was a regular here while living in Peterborough. Fantastic selection of beer; new ones coming in all the time. Food is outstanding; stoemp, mussels et frites, rabbit, duck, and amazing specials that are always changing. My favourite combo there; Rochefort 8 and chocolate cheesecake! Staff are knowledgable and friendly; every year the owner, Roland, and some staff travel to Belgium to stay current. Roland and Andrea always took great care of me there! If you’re anywhere close to Peterborough (say a 3 hour range) do not miss this place!!

While no restaurant can be perfect, this was hands down the best place I have ever been to. The ambiance was great. Amazing show of glasses and wooden decor. Their food is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. I do not exaggerate when I say this. I never expected my best food experience to be at Peterborough. Try out the French Country Mixed Grilled Plate. Absolutely amazing! Great selection of beer. I had the pleasure of drinking a Gulden Draak (thanks to a very knowledgable waiter) and St. Bernardus Abt 12. This was a great discovery thanks to an anonymous tipper. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Peterborough! Great service, great food!

This place has a great selection of Belgians served by friendly people who know their beer. You always get the right glass and they will make suggestions for you according to your style preferences. They also feature some Canada only releases. The food matches the beer well too - really good place to check out.

This place is amazing. They have an amazing selection of beers for the area, including 5 trappists; Achel, Rochefort, Chimay, Orval, and Westmalle. They have a great selection of Unibroue and lots of other great Belgians. They even get some Ontario only releases. Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable . The food is Belgian and is some of the best in the city. If you ever do get to Peterborough this is a must stop.
