Cost: $10 per entree
A landmark on Queen St. West since 1921 (read the history here), Peter Pan Bistro has always been a prime lunch time spot, perhaps for it’s ambiance (spectacular tin ceiling) or delicious lunch dishes for under $10.
Whatever the case, how befitting it was to have a baby-shower gathering at a venue named Peter Pan.
I was more interested in the dessert menu than anything else that day.
Mmm…..Death by chocolate sounded like the way to go!
Very rich, very deadly. (I think I passed out about 1/2 an hour after eating this. 
)
Everyone else’s dishes looked fantastic (and from what I heard, tasted just as good!)
You can see the expectant Mom’s beautiful polka-dotted belly in the background of this shot, nicely contrasted by the pretty almond cheesecake and wildberry tea. Here’s a close-up of the almond cheesecake.
Lemon tart.

With new condos springing up everywhere, Peter Pan Bistro, now in it’s 88th year at the corner of Peter and Queen, is practically a historic site, so go now! Go and enjoy it.
You know… this is one of those places I walk by all the time but haven’t tried yet.
The photos look amazing! how was the tart?
Hi toMAEto!
Thanks – I didn’t have the tart – someone else did. I had the sinfully delicious choc cake! You should go in, next time!
I thoroughly enjoy the complimentary bread that comes at P.P.’s – both times I have been it was a dense cheddar and chive loaf.. not sure if it’s different every time.
I believe the mark of a good restaurant is definitely homemade bread.
Santé!

I love bread. And I agree, homemade bread is the best! That loaf sounds divine – hope to get it next time. Thanks for your comment M!
wow.. sounds delicious! always wondered about that restaurant looking in from the outside. Loved that shot of the almond cheesecake with the polka dot dress in the background.
Again, I should have read this AFTER I had lunch, I am so much hungrier now. I remember having a rabbit dish here once that was so delicious I can no longer think of them as cute, little creatures but scrumptious meals. I have since refrained from thinking about rabbits in general as my feelings are torn.
Haha, you’re too funny. And really, rabbit?! I don’t think I can.
mmmmm yummmy, would love to check it out….looks like a great place. Love the photos foodhogger especially the one with the polka dot mummy belly in the background…:)
Thanks COAT, yes – I like that shot as well…it’s a great place for lunch gatherings, but I suspect it’s just as lovely for dinner.
