10 ‘hidden gem’ Peterborough restaurants and cafes you need to try this summer, as recommended by locals

Finding somewhere to eat out isn’t always an easy task, particularly if you’re new to Peterborough or don’t dine in restaurants very often.

Peterborough may not have as many dining options as some of the country’s bigger cities, but that certainly doesn’t mean locals have limited options to choose from.

From classic greasy spoon cafes to high-end Japanese restaurants, the city’s dining scene really does have something for everyone.
