Rare Restaurant is a chef-led downtown Peterborough dining room from Andrew Lewin and Mai Dong, built around French-leaning steakhouse cooking, adventurous small plates, Saturday prime rib, chef tastings, and private-event hospitality.

Berc's Steakhouse is a long-running Peterborough steakhouse built around Certified Angus Beef, classic steak-and-seafood dinners, private-room occasions, and a Tuesday dinner-for-two offer. The strongest fit is a polished celebration meal with ribeye, Steak Neptune, seafood, and attentive service in a familiar dining room.
