Review By The Bridge - Peterborough

We ate at by By The Bridge while on vacation. The food was stunning both visually and on the pallette. We had children ranging from 5-14 and they were able to please everyone. We had a gluten free roast beef wrap and a peanut chicken sandwich with sides of vermicelli pasta, chick pea salad and ginger lime slaw. It is such a pleasure to find restauranteurs with such a passion for awesome food.

Such wholesome and delicious food! (Butternut squash and pesto quesadilla)

From the location and look of the front outside, we thought this could be a great, eclectic place to grab a quick, healthy snack. However, during our visit, the dingy, none too clean, and dark interior, plus the unhygienic way the people behind the counter dressed and handled the food, and the rash I developed within 30 mins of taste testing and eating their salads were more than enough reasons for us to avoid ever returning to this restaurant. Ya, ya, I know, we should have left once we entered and saw the interior and or thrown the food away after viewing their food handling, but a friend swore to us the salads were good and we should try them. Sadly, the salads and restaurant were not to our liking and we cannot recommend it. Small restaurant in a takeout style with a chalkboard menu. Pricey for what you get. No wheelchair accessibility. Paid street parking.

I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich for take away today. Honestly, IT WAS THE BEST SANDWICH OF MY LIFE! Even without this life changing sandwich I would have given you 5 stars as I have always loved your yummy salads, awesome staff, your use of local produce, and responsible packaging.

My friend and I had seen a lot of people coming and going from here and decided to try it for lunch. I had the potato dill salad with Montreal smoked meat sandwich combo. The bread and food was out of this world! My friend had the roasted chicken sandwich with chick pea salad and some coleslaw. She loved hers as well! Apparently, we heard murmurs from the patrons that the soups are wonderful but they didn't have any on the menu yesterday. You can take out of sit down. Cute spot, great food and friendly workers!

I grabbed lunch to go and was very pleasantly surprised. This is a gem of a lunch place! I had a small salad and was able to try three different salads of the 8 or 10 on offer. I chose a curried chick pea, an Asian noodle and a maple and balsamic glazed beets. All three were delightful, full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I topped that off with chocolate diablo cookies-ginger, cayenne and rock salt-wow! Their menu is posted everyday online.

Incredible salad selections (in addition to many sandwiches and plates)! I've never been more satisfied from just eating salads for lunch. Best lunch spot in downtown Peterborough, for sure! Reasonable prices, and flavours are always amazing! Dine in at their beautiful book shop at the harvest table, or take out a bunch of salads in several sizes. They also do great catering!

Hands down the best place for lunch. Absolutely delicious, healthy, and adventurous sandwiches, salads and soups. The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the portions are the perfect size. We have literally NEVER been disappointed...and the chalk board tables are a fun addition for little ones!

We eat very plain food Bridgette has introduced us to food we wouldn't have tried elsewhere there is something for everyone here we love the place

Just had lunch here! Absolutely fantastic healthy and delicious food! Extremely friendly staff and I felt very welcomed. I'll be back again!

Love the food here. Delicious and fresh. Thank you for supporting our local farmers.

Great staff, cozy ambience, and incredibly tasty food!!

I've been TWICE in the last week and it has been AMAZING both times! I think that "By the Bridge" is going to be a regular lunchtime habit! Always a great menu of items to choose from and I especially enjoy the vegetarian options! Make sure to leave room for desert! I also highly recommend the Humus! A meal in itself! Well done!

This is my favourite restaurant in Peterborough! I only wish it was open for dinner and weekends too for quick, delicious and healthy meals to take home for my family when there just isn't time to do it myself (plus I can't ever cook like this at home! The variety, the complexity of flavours!). I especially love how many good options there are for vegetarian and vegans (lots of great ways to eat legumes!).

One of my favourite places to eat in Peterboroug. Great for veggie, meat and gluten free *LOVE THEM*

I had lunch every day there this week. I don't know what I'm going to do this weekend Lol. Thx

Always fantastic!!! We frequent By The Bridge weekly!

Looking forward to another great lunch, hopefully tomorrow Friday 26th September. This is the place to go if you enjoy really tasty and nutritious food at a price you can easily afford. Thanks Bridget

Delicious, healthy, great prices, fantastic service and atmosphere...what more could you want? Great place for lunch!

Love it here, eat here everyday !!
