Peter Pan Bistro

Bland, lifeless, uninteresting food. Can’t understand how anyone could like this place. Service was good though.

My review is base solely on my lunchtime experiences, but they are many. Since the makeover and takeover, this place has become a regular for me. The décor is great, and the renovated deco booths and bar are gorgeous. The lunch menu is small, but perfectly formed, and one of these days I’ll stick around for an evening meal for sure!

A cute little date night spot.
The environment is very dim at night for dinner and has a romantic vibe with delicate pieces of cutlery and glasses. Everything that was in the restaurant resembled a fairytale like café. The service was friendly and the food was good. I enjoyed the appetizers more than the main course however. I ordered a Rarebit burger and a side of kale, the side was on the saltier side and the rarebit burger may not suit all tastes. I would go back to try other items on the menu and it seems that they have different menus every so often to use the ingredients in season.
I would recommend this café for an intimate dinner with your bestfriend or your significant other.

This place is super nice inside, and much more spacious than it appears from the outside which is a bonus as that usually equates to less time waiting to be seated.
The service and food coming out is equally has quick.
On walking in notice the wall deco, super cool, and that attention to detail is a reoccurring theme with the seating and cutlery.
I had the eggs benedict which was good, but not the best i have had. One of my buddies had the peameal bacon sandwich after creeping on another customer’s table. It looked great and he said it was good so i would probably try that next time.
If you look at the website for the bistro they have a real cool picture of that corner from way back.

Made reservation for tuesday 7pm, somewhat crowded
Entrée: short ribs ⁵⁄₅
It took 30min to arrive but worth it
The ribs are tender and delicious
Portion is small so its not filling, will likely need dessert

Excellent service. Delicious food. Everyone was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. The sticky toffee dessert was lovely, not too sweet. We will be back.

We had our wedding lunch for 41 people in the upstairs space on Saturday and it was fantastic. Everyone raved about the food, the service was friendly and efficient, and the rooms are really beautiful. Alex was wonderful to work with in the planning stages, and they accommodated our macaron tower and gift table request with no problem. They even provided a coat rack, which I completely forgot to ask about!
My one quibble is that they gave us the wrong menu. They gave us the more expensive menu but only charged us for the cheaper menu we ordered, so obviously I’m not upset. I was also a little surprised that coffee and tea weren’t included, but it didn’t add that much more to the bill.
We also had brunch on the patio about a month ago. The patio is really beautiful and the food was just as excellent. You have to try the Welsh rarebit!

The renos are complete, and Peter Pan has been hipsterfied. Their menu is now quite small, but rotates weekly. Ol’ Petey is keeping it fresh.
The patio renos look great, the prices are still reasonable for this tourist/​office haven and my fried chicken lunch was solid. Nice slaw, Mr. Pan.

They were serving gin forward cocktails when I was there and I like gin so, was content.
We shared their popcorn which seems a little pricy for the amount you get. I had their pork belly dish and my cousin had their risotto and one of their salads. Both of us were pretty happy. The sauces that came with various things were super tasty and I love dipping things, always appreciated. It was a nice place to go before seeing a movie so high fives all around.

A great find in downtown Toronto! went here for brunch and loved the little patio at the back…

This restaurant is absolutely AMAZING, and is, in my opinion, wrongly underrated! We were able to make reservations for 12 via phone (online reservations available for 6 people or less). We were connected with Alexandra Phillips, the General Manager, who designed a menu that accommodating, and was fit for our group with no problem! Their menu also changes weekly, depending on what is in season.
The service was amazing, and their friendly coordination made organizing a big dinner so easy! Our water glasses were never empty, and despite being a big group, we all felt well taken care of. They have a long list of wine, with their very own wine director, as well as a creative cocktail list, and good selection of beer.
Now for the FOOD!
***Disclaimer: I LOVED EVERYTHING I HAD THERE!
Gin Popcorn: Oddly enough, this warm popcorn was SO FLAVORFUL. Definitely order it to snack on while you wait.
Nicoise Salad: This French salad was delicious. Good balance of flavors, with tuna confit, green and yellow beans, fingerling potatoes, and olives.
Grilled Asparagus: over easy duck egg. enough said!
Zuchini Salad: Hard to describe, but it definitely is not what you expect. Its partly fried, but still light, with goat yogurt, and a sherry vinaigrette.
Duck: MMM! The roasted duck breast was served over confit leg, plums, grapes, watercress, and pickle walnuts. AMAZING. Definitely order this!
My friends also order the Gnocchi, steak frites (came with housemade ketchup and mayo), and LOVED IT. Both served on a cast iron. Get a side of fries, they hit the spot!
For dessert,
Strawberries and Cream: the strawberries and sweet sauce is over a shortbread cookie, in a cast iron, with a side of strawberry and basil ice cream! It was SO GOOD!
I will definitely go back and try the madelines next time!
They have a decent sized patio! They are closed on Mondays, but are open for lunch on weekdays, and BRUNCH on Sat and Sunday! I am definitely going back for brunch! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, for small catch-​ups/​dates, and large group gathering! Good job Noah Goldberg (executive chef).

Finally got to try this place for brunch. Cute place, nice atmosphere.
We started with some scones and they were sooo good. A bit on the pricier side (2 for $ 8) but they were so fresh and melted in my mouth. Service was attentive and not overbearing. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the BLT sandwich which was pretty good. bread was a bit burnt for me but some people like that. The fried chicken sandwich was served on a delicious biscuit that tasted a bit like corn bread but so damn good. I would go back just for the biscuit and scones.
Looking forward to returning and trying other items on the brunch menu!

I stopped in here for a quick bite with my husband the other day, we were blown away! The menu was fantastic, we had the pig skin, scotch eggs and duck tongues. All was absolutely delicious! My husband is a chef and could not stop talking about how impressive the menu was.
I have been before but it was prior to their renovations, now it is much brighter and much more classy, they pay attention to the little details that make the experience that much better. We will definitely be going back!

— Dinner for two on a Tuesday night.
— Service was fantastic, made the night for us.
— Beer selection was quite adequate, you will find something you like.
— Started with the Pomme Dauphine Poutine which was enough to split as an appetizer. The poutine was picked as per the house’s recommendation alongside the Lamb’s Fry. The potatoes, served in an iron skillet, had a good amount of lamb and gruyère. All in all, satisfies your comfort food craving.
— Shared two mains:
1 Sage, fennel & tomato marmalade, parmesan gnocchi: Tasty and fresh, the fennel overpowered in some bites but that was to be expected.
2 Steak Frites: ordered medium rare, cooked three ways (hollandaise, bone marrow, and duck fat cromsequis). The differences were very subtle. The beef’s origin was not asked about, but tasted great. The Frites were thick cut, lightly fried and quite substantial.
Also shared a sauteed radish skillet alongside the mains. Radishes still had a good crunch, very fresh and not too greasy.
Would visit again. 3.5÷5

My son & I went to Peter Pan Bistro for dinner last night.
It is a new restaurant on Queens St. W.
The food was amazing and the service was spectacular!
We started with Crispy Pig’s Skin, followed by appetizers Bone Marrow Pizza (my son had a green salad).
For the main course I had Herb Crusted Lamb’s Belly and my son had the Gnocchi.
We shared a Rhubarb Tasting and a Pecan Chocolate Tart for dessert.
Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
This was truly a gourmet dinning experience.
To top it off we had all of this for less than $ 100 (with wine).
I have a new favourite restaurant in Toronto!

Nice atmosphere, the carpets on the wall are nice ! We made a reservation on a Wednesday night — late souper. Service was ok, not more but the food was disappointing. Steak was cold and already cut in half (who does that ?). Pasta was very oily. Wine list ok but not very elaborated.
Not the best spot in Toronto, but not the worst either.

Wow what a great revamp. The place looks great and the food was delicious. Had the braised beef rib. Melt in your mouth appetizer salmon roulade and latke. Welsh rarebit with cavier!!! We were treated well by all. Thank you Isabelle. Really all quite good. I’ll be back and telling all.

I think old Peter Pan is a classic queen w spot. Fits in perfectly w the neighbourhood. Food is quite good, it does the classics well. When I went I had the apple grilled cheese with salad. YUM. The server u had was lovely and rememberd me Next time I went and asked how school was going I thought it was very nice and made it seem very homey. Pricing was very fair for the area and a great lunch spot when shopping on queen west or dT.

Great décor, super high ceilings with the same pressed tin that the old Peter Pan had.
Yes the booths are still straight backed but they’re now more spaced out AND they raised the tables so you no longer knock your knees on their underside.
Chef Noah Goldberg has some serious skill. The Lamb was perfectly cooked. Be sure to try the Madelines. They literally evaporated into thin air leaving only a a sweet lemony aftertaste as proof of their existence.
The dining room staff were attentive — maybe even a little too attentive — but understandable as it was only their second day open.
Overall, great location, excellent food, good service and overall nice vibe. I wish them luck!

Great little bistro in Toronto. it’s cute and quaint, but seating is a bit scarce, and the hours are a tad limited. We came here for brunch, though, and loved the food. The menu is constantly changing, but this ensures everything is made with fresh and local ingredients, so don’t be afraid to be a little adventurous! Just be warned; the place is cash only! This almost caught us when we went here, so be prepared. Overall, however, it’s a great little place in Toronto that I recommend.
