Berc's Steakhouse

8.9
Steakhouse · Lansdowne Street Corridor · $$$

Group meals have a lot of usable range here: steaks for the core audience, seafood and chicken for lighter mains, pasta for comfort, and burgers or fish and chips at lunch. The private-room option gives larger plans a clear home base.

5

The Imperial Tandoor

9.1
Indian · Lansdowne Street Corridor · $$

This is an easy meal to build for mixed groups because the menu spreads across curries, biryani, tandoor plates, Hakka noodles, vegetarian chaap, and bar snacks. Reservations, parking, and a broad dining room setup make it practical for a planned night out.

6

Taso's Restaurant and Pizzeria

9.3
Greek · Lansdowne West · $$

The breadth of the menu makes Taso's easy for mixed groups. A group can split across Greek plates, pizza, pasta, salads, burgers, and shared Greek Fries while staying in the same comfort-food lane.

7

Madoi Sushi Restaurant

8.3
Japanese · Downtown Peterborough · $$

The lineup helps groups whose diners do not all want the same meal. Party trays cover sushi, maki and sashimi, while bento boxes and Korean dishes give the group hot-food options alongside roll-heavy orders.

8

Capra Toro

9.2
Italian · Hunter Street West / Café District · $$

The menu is easy to share across a group: Focaccia, pizza, pasta and Italian entrees all scale well, and the Sunday Dinner for Four gives families a ready-made format. Black 13 adds a separate answer for larger planned gatherings.

9

Agave by Imperial

9.4
Mexican · Downtown Peterborough · $$$

Molcajete, shared starters, taco orders, and weekly specials give groups several easy ways to build a meal together.

10

Marty Moo's

8.8
Barbecue · East Peterborough · $$

Marty Moo's works for groups because the order can split several ways: ribs and wings for barbecue diners, pot pie and pot roast for comfort-food people, salmon or salad for lighter appetites.

11

Love You, Mean It

9.4
Contemporary Canadian · Hunter Street West / Café District · $$$$

The strongest opening plates are built for sharing. Tuna Tartare, Bone Marrow, Croquettes, Jerk Chicken Eggrolls, Brussels, and Pork Rillettes give a small group enough choices before the entree section starts.

12

Levantine Grill

9.3
Middle Eastern · Downtown Peterborough · $$

Groups can build a flexible spread from wraps, falafel, grill platters, hummus, fattoush, tabouleh, pies, and baklava, which makes the menu easier to share than a wrap-only counter.

13

Dragon Yan

8.8
Chinese · Lansdowne Street Corridor · $$

Family dinner bundles scale the order for groups, pairing rolls, rice, chicken balls, wings, and vegetable or noodle dishes into planned takeout meals.

14

Kettle Drums

8.6
Comfort Food · Hunter Street West / Café District · $$

Groups get useful range here: warm dips, wings, chips, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, seafood, steak, and salads can sit in the same meal. The menu is broad without losing the comfort-food through-line.

15

One Fine Food

8.8
Italian · Lansdowne Street Corridor · $$

Groups get several easy ways to order together: antipasti, salads, wood-fired pizza, pasta, mains and dessert all sit on the same menu. The market setting also gives mixed-age parties something to browse before or after the meal.

16

Fork It

9.8
Breakfast · Downtown Peterborough · $$

Fork It works for groups when the plan is casual breakfast or lunch. The menu gives a party several order lanes at once: bennies, breakfast bowls, burgers, sandwiches, salads, poutine, pancakes, and French toast.

17

St Veronus Cafe and Tap Room

9.1
Belgian · Hunter Street West / Café District · $$

Groups can order without overthinking it: frites and pretzels to share, mussels for the main event, sandwiches and mains for different appetites, and enough Belgian bottles to make pairing part of the conversation.

18

The Favourite Greek

8.9
Greek · Downtown Peterborough · $$

The menu is easy to build for a group: family dinners, Appetizer Platter, dips, Greek Fries, Vegetarian Platter and catering language all point toward ordering in multiples rather than treating the restaurant as a one-plate stop.

19

Ng Saigon Boys

8.9
Vietnamese · Lansdowne West · $

Party trays, reservations and shareable family-style orders make Saigon Boys useful when the meal has to feed more than one appetite. The best group strategy is to combine noodle bowls with spring rolls, fried rice and one or two crossover mains.

20

Castle John's

8.4
Bar & Grill · Lansdowne West · $$

A broad pub menu and shareable starters make Castle John’s workable for a group with mixed preferences. Start with a shared plate, then let burgers, salmon, pasta, or salads carry the individual mains.

21

The Railyard Café and Taphouse

8.8
Upscale Casual · Hunter Street West / Café District · $$$

Railyard works for casual groups because everyone can split starters, pizzas, sandwiches, composed mains, beer, wine, and breakfast plates without being forced into one mode of eating.

22

Chef Basel Cuisine

9.7
Diner · Lansdowne Street Corridor · $$

Groups can order broadly: Smoked Salmon Tower, poutine, burgers, pizza, pasta, salads, Indian mains, and breakfast plates all fit different appetites. One menu covers the room without forcing a single shared craving.

23

Matsu Sushi Restaurant

8.6
Japanese · East Peterborough · $$

The group fit comes from range and room shape. Private dining spaces give small tables a more comfortable setting, while the menu lets a group split Dynamite Roll and Vegetable Tempura while still adding Dolsot Bibimbap, Chicken Donburi, or Kimchi Pork Fried Rice for fuller plates.

24

Curry Village

8.6
Indian · Downtown Peterborough · $$

The combination dinners do a lot of the group-planning work, especially the two-person sets with starters, curries, rice, bread, sweets, and tea or coffee. Curry Village is easy to order family-style because the menu is built around shareable curries, breads, and sides.
