I don’t know from where to start with this place. Food is incredibly tasty all the times I have been there there is not time I say oh is not as good as last time. Dollar chips and their hollandaise sauce is the best I have tried so far , I go often to try different brunch/ breakfast places and nothing like this place. Portions are huge and price is decent. Waiters are always friendly and give always good customer service making sure you need something or how’s food tasting. So far this place is my favourite breakfast place in Peterborough. The special eggs Bennie’s are always good, lattice fries always crispy and good dipping dressing flavour that complements. Popeye’s omelette is my favourite so far the flavour of the feta cheese and their vegetable fillings go well also includes dollar chips and bread that is a really well packed breakfast. Place theme is authentic and cozy I always satisfied after going to this place and never regretting my choice.

I hadn't been to the Speak Easy since before Covid and boy was I pleasantly surprise. I had a great mushroom burger with a salad. My partner had a hamburger and french fries...and I ate some of his french fries which were probably some of the best fries I have had in recent memory. I will definitely visit again. Apparently there are new owners and they are lovely.

I visited Speakeasy for breakfast today, and it was an amazing experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a great variety to choose from. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the aroma when you walk in is so inviting. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—relaxing yet full of good energy. Located right on George Street, the main street of downtown, it’s easily accessible. All in all, we had a fantastic time, and I’m looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of dining at speak easy cafe yesterday, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was nothing short of perfect—each dish was beautifully presented with generous portions and outstanding flavors. The attention to detail in the design and taste of the dishes was impressive. Beyond the food, the friendly and welcoming environment made the meal even more enjoyable. Everything about our visit was perfect, and I highly recommend speak easy cafe for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

Ordered eggs Benedict here which came with a house-made fries. Black coffee tasted good and fries were fresh and hot. Eggs Benedict tasted good but hollandaise sauce could be better. I give it 8/10. Service was fast and staff were friendly. Paid street parking available across the street.

Ordered poutine, came with shredded cheese instead of curds, and the fries taste like cardboard. Everything else we ordered was also not great. This is the second time we have ordered from here as we thought the first bad experience they could just have just been having a bad day. I am baffled by all the high review scores.

We were looking for a place to order fish and chips when we stumbled into a small restaurant. When I walked in to ask if they served fish and chips, I learned that Sarah, who answered me, was the owner and manager of the restaurant and had just opened the joint with her husband, Hadi. They were Iranians and our compatriots and very friendly and customer-oriented. We ordered fish and chips and tortillas. All the dishes were delicious and fresh. Sarah and Hadi served us two seasonal salads. They also played Iranian music from the 60s for us, and at the end we took a group souvenir photo. The small and compact restaurant was in the style of the movie The Godfather and the photos from this movie covered all the walls of the restaurant, which I fell in love with. The double color of the walls, black and red, was very suitable for the theme of the collection. In short, be sure to visit there; Be sure you will become a permanent customer. ----------------------------------------------------- Discovering an unassuming restaurant by chance, we were delighted to find that it serves excellent fish and chips. Upon inquiring, we met Sarah, the owner and manager, who, along with her husband Hadi, recently established this charming eatery. Both are friendly and customer-oriented Iranians. Our meal included fish and chips and a tortilla, both freshly prepared and delicious. Sarah and Hadi also treated us to two seasonal salads. Enhancing the experience, they played nostalgic sixties Iranian music. The restaurants unique decor, inspired by The Godfather movie, features photos from the film covering the walls, perfectly complementing the bold red color scheme. The ambiance is cozy and reminiscent of a classic cinematic era. We left with a souvenir group photo, a statement to the memorable experience. We highly recommend visiting this gem youll undoubtedly become a regular customer.

I used to really love this place but it seems like there are new owners. The woman who I ll assume is the new owner was the worst server I ve had. So ignorant!! And I saw a little kid working there, taking food out to customers and going into the kitchen. A restaurant is not a safe place for a kid to be helping out! I don t think I ll be back, sadly.

It was a very warm, cozy place. Although the plates of other costumers who were ordering brunch and breakfast had perfect smell and very well design, I ordered hamburger as Im not a brunch person. All I can say is that mushroom fried burger tastes like heaven, and I fall in love with the dollar chips and the Cesar sald as the side of the plate. My husband had breakfast, and he was totally satisfied with his plate that I couldnt remember its name but was bacon, sausage, and egg. And ohhhh, I forgot about the French toast with the homemade blueberry comput, which was awesome. Highly recommend, for sure it was a busy place with many costumers so there was a normal waiting time that I believe it worst it. And last but not least, the friendly atmosphere and their hospitality beside their fair prices will sure take me there again and again.

Ive eaten here a few times now, the food NEVER disappoints and the people who work there (servers and support staff alike), are always super friendly every time. The atmosphere is what youd expect from a local Diner, mixed with the deco of pop culture mafia and gangster memorabilia, very cool esthetic. Everything is a really good price, and its my go-to downtown Peterborough, ON everytime I get hungry while im running errands or waiting for a GO Bus hands down. Go check it out! Kid-friendliness: Theyre very nice & accommodating with kids, there are seats specially for very little kids and a dedicated menu. My daughter is 11 so she ordered off the adult menu but they are prepared for kids of all ages.

Friendly service and fast but the food is nothing to write home about. I ordered Eggs Benedict. The Benedict sauce comes out of a package you could easily make at home for far less money and taste way better. The home fries come out of a bag. Anyone can follow directions for a powdered mix hollandaise sauce and have a big batch sitting in a container ready to pour onto the next batch of eggs being ordered. The meal is definitely not worth the money it s priced at especially if you are picky about food actually tasting delicious. It should be a treat when you go out to a restaurant. The food should be something a little better than you can make at home so it excites your taste buds rather than being and extremely bland.

This has been my favourite breakfast place in Peterborough for the past fifteen years. I don t know what s happened but I took the family there for Easter Sunday and noticed it was taking longer than usual to get our order out. The kicker was that bacon was so dry that it looked yellowish and plastic. Just a tip for the chef. That s what happens when you cook too much bacon the day before and throw the extra in the fridge to be served the next day. Seriously, it doesn t take ten minutes to cook it fresh.

A fantastic spot for breakfast! Went about a week ago with a buddy of mine, wait staff was beyond friendly, and had great recommendations. Had the Eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious! Pricing is pretty modest as well, and Im quite a fan of their delayed meals program for the local community. A wonderful spot, definitely highly recommend!

Cute little restaurant downtown with really friendly service. The food came out quickly and was very good. Prices were reasonable. Loved the wall art that started a conversation with the kids about the gangsters of the 1920s. Was a fun experience.

Every time I have come here, the food and service has been great. This time we had to wait an hour after ordering to finally get our food, had to ask a random waitress to refill our tea because ours never checked up on us and when we were paying, the woman took tip out from the change we were supposed to get back without asking. Probably will not be returning now.

I went the morning of Friday April 3rd to pick up my order. The waitress, she had glasses and straight darker hair, was super friendly and helpful. The food was also perfectly cooked and delicious. My favourite breakfast place in town for good reasons. Try the Rum Runners breakfast if you are feeling hungry.

Yum! Fresh ingredients, generous portion sizes and friendly staff! Ive ordered breakfast meals in the past which has always been perfect, but today instead I had lunch and my BLT Wrap was filling, fresh and delicious! and they still have comfortably-spaced seating for physical distancing measures. I will go back many more times! thanks for a great lunch!

I order out almost every weekend, the speak easy cafe is is probably one of my favourite places in Peterborough because of the price for the amount I get and the friendly staff and also the great food! I usually get the blind pig and it has lots of bacon, and my girlfriend get eggs Benedict and the eggs are usually perfect for being in the takeout container the whole way home!

For an all day breakfast diner to be packed all day, you know theyre doing something right. With reasonable prices and a pay-it-forward board, Speak Easy is keeping in touch with the pulse of down town without losing their personal charm. Always worth the wait, and youre rarely waiting long.
