Stopped by this restaurant on our way back to Toronto from Canada Dinasour park for lunch. I was…read morepleasantly surprised with the quality of food and the reasonable price. We ordered three dishes - Pear and beet salad, Chicken parmigiana and Smoked salmon egg Benedict. They were all priced below $15. The portion of each dish was generous. The salad came with perfectly cooked pear and beet. It was nicely seasoned with balsamic vinegar dressing and goat cheese. Chicken parmigiana was phenomenal - with perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. Smoked salmon benefit was ok - a bit saggy with Hollande sauce and side potatoes were overly cooked. Staff were very friendly as well. The interior was simple but clean. We will definitely go back to this restaurant when we are in the neighborhood!

I had asked my dear friend if she was free last Friday over a month ago. She was. We planned on a…read morelate lunch. We normally figure out a place to eat closer to when we'd be meeting up. My friend is vegan. Peterborough has a good vegan eatery scene. I did a search and Revelstoke Cafe popped up. Oddly, I had never been. I asked my friend if she was good coming here. She was. Yay! I indicated that I'd arrive at either 2:30 pm or 3 pm. Well, the volume of folks with canoes on their vehicles or boats hitched to them picked up as I drove east. I let my friend know that I'd be there at 3 pm instead. She was good with that. She got there before I did and let me know where she was parked. She had also got a table for us. I let her know that I was ten minutes later than expected. Long weekend traffic will do that to you. I parked on George Street North, across from this restaurant. My approach was super slow trying to figure out where this restaurant was. It's in a residential neighbourhood, but it's right at the corner of George and Edinburgh. It's free parking all day on this street. I walked in. I saw the kitchen and all staff working away. They were friendly. They said hi. I reciprocated and said hi to my friend. I walked over. It was nearly a two-hour drive over. I needed to use the washroom. It's a single stall that everyone uses. It was clean. The floor isn't level, so the door only opens halfway. I also used it before I left and continued eastbound. My friend had already ordered an iced maple chai latte. It looked yummy. She let me know that any coffee on the menu could be made iced. The berry hibiscus lemonade caught my attention, so I ordered it. My first instinct was to hit the brunch menu and get the west coast scramble. However, I took one look at the mushroom hash and was sold. It didn't surprise my friend. I am a huge fan of mushrooms. She got the burrito bowl. It had a vegan version of beef in it. Cool! We chatted a bit. My drink came out first. It was excellent! I love hibiscus and berries together. The lemonade brightened this drink up. It was cold and refreshing for a warm summery day. My friend enjoyed her iced maple chai latte. She said that it wasn't overly sweet with the maple in it. The chai was a good strength and oat beverage was in there to smooth things out. Our mains came out next. Her beef burrito bowl looked so good, especially with a sliced, fanned avocado in the middle. She was about the dig in when she remembered that I liked taking photos of food, so she gave me a bit of time to take a pic before she went for it. She loved her burrito bowl. The flavours were on point. The vegan beef was tender. The veggies were fresh. It looked yummy. I need to try it someday. I loved my mushroom hash. The potatoes were pan-fried and were perfectly done. They were seasoned nicely. The mushrooms were sautéed and delicious. The tofu that simulated a poached egg was super silky. The hollandaise sauce was generous and made this hash awesome. I asked about dessert. This place only had some molasses item that didn't scream for me to get it. She did say that there were cinnamon buns tomorrow. My timing was off. Ugh! Anyway, we got the bill. My friend paid cash her for meal. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. We both thanked her. My friend and I continued to chat. We were there for three hours. Staff did not mind that we hung around after having paid. There was air conditioning. Before we left, a big ceiling fan over us was activated. We did not feel hot at all during our time here. I can't wait to return. I loved eating here and meeting up with my friend. I highly recommend coming here if you are in Peterborough, whether you are vegan or not. The food is scrumptious and staff are nice. (220)

This place was like an oasis…read more We rolled in to downtown Peterborough on the end of a wonderful holiday long weekend looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat and soak up some local flavour. It seemed like the entire downtown was a ghost town with nothing open, and not a person in sight, then The Only Cafe appeared out of the fog with a hopping patio, and music blaring from inside, seeping out the open windows. The layout is very interesting with the side patio, with filtered light coming through the foilage along the west side, perfect for a lovely late afternoon setting sun. We sat inside where there are small two-tops, with each table having a cute lamp and plenty of artwork to ogle while you eat. I ordered a grilled cheese and side salad, which were great! Looking like something I would make for myself, the grilled cheese was on German rye bread and the salad was basic lettuce, peppers and tomato and absolutely delicious! The IPA they served up on tap went perfectly with my food, adding the bitterness to the sweet salad flavours bringing me absolute joy. Worth the trip to Peterborough and The Kawarthas!
