Peterborough has a few good restaurants, but it depends on what you are looking for and how much you want to spend. Acqua Bistro is a nice restaurant on the pricey side. Moderate sized menu with Steak, Lamb, Seafood etc. all very nicely done. Plus, they sell a variety of thin crust pizzas, which I've honestly never tried. The Pearl is also very good. A wide variety of fresh oysters plus a variety of dishes all with an Asian flair. For more casual, pub style dining, I like Harlow's pub. Harlow's has great sandwiches, dinner specials each evening, and my favorite...vegetarian chili.

Brattleboro has lots of restaurants covering a variety of cuisines and prices.

I've eaten at all the following places:

$$$ Peter Haven's
$$$ Alici's Bistro

$$ Panda North-Chinese
$$ Thai Garden
$$ Fireworks, gourmet pizza

$$ New England House in West Brattleboro (our favorite) varied menu
$$ Gillie's Seafood, plus more menu items
$$ Brattleboro Co-op deli, hot food too

$-$$ The Marina
$ Sportsmen, good food, quick, basic, DH raves about the homemade soups

Of course, there's Ninety-Nine, Pizza Hut and a bunch of local pizzerias and the usual fast food restaurants

Will try Peter Havens tonight; all good things on reviews....

Regarding Alici's Bistro reviews seem all over the place, what has your experience been?

Let us know how Peter Havens was.

While in Brat, check out McNeil's for some fresh brewed beers.

I have not been as of yet but the hot spot in Peterborough is Harlow's Pub. If you like a good burger then O'Brady's is the place to be. They have a seperate resturant and sports bar, you can get their burgers in either.......definitely my 2nd place to get a burger.
Also.......if you like pizza, well, take your pick.....any local place is good. For grinders (and pizza) you can't beat the Peterborough Pizza Barn.
Wow.....I just realized I said grinders and not subs! :O

OMG...I miss Pizza Barn grinders so much. Nothing like them here in California

tried the last few weeks, never worked out, they only have 10 tables, and somehow the weekends when my wife & I wanted to head over, they were always booked solid; (so would recommend calling ahead a couple days in advance)

Actually even tonight they did not have anything open till 9am, but Thomm suggested that we might want to come over around 8pm & sit at the bar till something opened up; we got there shortly after that & we got a table immediately

for appetizers we had the chicken liver pate & the missus had a potato/tomato bisque

main course I went for the tortellini, tossed with mushrooms, sauteed chicken & sausage in a cream sauce.... pretty impressive

Wifey had the swordfish with greens, potatos & wild rice on side; the swordfish was the BEST ever fish I have tasted in, truly melts in your mouth kind....

An amazing experience; as good as any we have had in NYC, SFO, Boston, CHI, Zurich, Geneva, Paris, etc....

we will certainly be back
