St Veronus Cafe & Tap Bar

I visited St Veronus when we stopped in for lunch before a meeting. The atmosphere was quite nice. Beligan pub with open windows and fresh air coming in. It was a bit windy but refreshing nonetheless after a long winter.
After coming here I’ve decided I am the worst Belgian ever because I actually really hate mayo. A lot of the dishes are served up with mayo on it so I was pretty picky.
I decided to get the King Baudouin Soup. «A savoury combination of tiger shrimp, scallops, clams and potatoes in a nutmeg cream broth.» Oh my, it was quite good. I loved the fresh bread on the side as well. You only get one shrimp and one scallop but the clams and potatoes were plentiful.
I got a chance to try the fries and they are delightful. Try them with the Belgian style ketchup, you will not be disappointed!
If I was going to go for a larger meal I would definitely try those mussels. They have so many varieties. Great spot!

Always a great stop on Tuesday’s. The half price Moules Frites are an amazing deal at $ 8 a pot. Our favourite are the Wellington Blue.
The beer list is as long as my arm and the staff are excellent at explaining what is what. The sampler is a good way to get around the menu.
Make a reservation on the weekends or enjoy a beer at the bar while you wait!

Decent food for decent price. Very slow service so don’t go in a rush. Classic Comfort food.

Best mussels and what a range in beers! Perfect combination.

Best restaurant in Peterborough ! Excellent food and service !
With such a wide choice of beers, this place is a must for beer lovers! I’m always happy to stop by.
Meilleur restaurant à Peterborough! Le service et les plats sont excellents. Un passage obligé pour les amateurs de bière ! Les serveurs se feront un plaisir de vous décrire leur menu très varié de bière et également vous faire des recommandations.

It’s hard to believe that this place is in small city in Ontario. It really is reminiscent of our Europe travels, Belgium and France particularly. Love it.

One of the best restaurants in Peterborough! It’s my favorite place for date night. Beautiful Belgian pub style food and a huge selection of Belgian beer. Good place to go for mussels as well.

This place is amazing. On Tuesday night, the mussels are half off, which meant that we got an order of mussels and a plate of fries for $ 8. That’s an amazing deal, considering the delicious sauce it was cooked in and the quantity served. I also tried a delicious cherry beer from the draft menu, which I’m still thinking about. No wonder this place was packed!

Delicious beet salad! House ketchup was to die for and massive beer selection. Great service. Highly recommend!

What a pleasant surprise! Coming from a Torontonian where there is an abundance of fine restaurants St. Veronus was right up there with the best of them!
The Beet salad was fantastic full of greens, candied almonds and more. The cheese plate was lovely as was the quiche. Not to forget about the incredible variety of beer!
Service was great too!

Food is fantastic and generous. We have been there twice and will definitely go many more times. So many beer choices. Price is more than fair and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

I went there last week for lunch while I was still working in Peterborough and staff friendliness and enthusiasm was remarkable.
Food was great and the portion was very generous. Would definitely go there again.

Absolutely the best. Came by for lunch on our way to Algonquin. Delicious mussels Bengal. The BEST sour dough bread and frites accompanying the mussels. I asked if I could purchase a loaf of the sour dough but it’s just for restaurant customers only. That bread is worth a trip by itself! Had a club sandwich on toasted sour dough. Beautiful shreds of in house roasted turkey on the club. My biggest regret not being able to sample the beer menu as I was driving.

The food is awesome. The beer menu is to die for. My only issue is they dont allow children. Which is frustrating for us mamas who want to have a nice meal and pint with our well behaved kiddos in tow. But it is an excellent date night location.

Tried a popular pub in Peterborough called St. Veronus, a Belgian themed restaurant specializing in Belgian food and beer. The menu is very limited but offers an excellent selection of mussels and beers. They also have a small selection appetizers, mains and sandwiches.
Overall the food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I tried the burger and it too was very good, fries were great. Only negative was a lack of traditional condiments for the burger and fries. Essentially they refused to give me ketchup and mustard which I didn’t appreciate. They serve the fries with a mayo based dip, which was good, and a weird curry ketchup which was not so good.
But to be fair this is not a burger place, it’s a Belgian pub. So if you’re into Belgian cuisine you’ll enjoy the experience.

Went here my second night in Peterborough. They have an extensive beer selection, although most of it is bottled. They also have entrée and sandwiches on their menu. Vegetarian options are also available. It’s located right downtown in a wood panelled building, which adds ambiance as well. I’ll definitely be going back.

It was our first time in Peterborough and so I looked on Unilocal and trip advisor to see what was good. Clams sounded good to us so we decided to go to St. Veronus. When we got there around 7pm, the place was already full so we decided to walk around and see is anything else piqued our interest. Nothing did so we went back and for a seat at the bar and just decided to eat there which I do recommend as it was interesting watching the bar tenders make drinks.
My fiancé ordered the daily special pei clams which came out in a big pot and was very good. The sauce was very unique and fragrant. It also came with a side of fries and some bread.
I ordered the battered fried cod and it was very will done as well. The fish was interesting as it had some kind of spice added to it that is never had before in a fish and chips kind of dish. It came with a huge serving of salad as well. The portions are big, the price is right and the atmosphere was nice. Not too loud so we could chat. I would come hate again!

The Beer Menu here at St Veronus Café & Tap Bar might not be as huge as the one I found in Brussels. But for a business in Peterborough, I am really impressed.
What should I drink?! Love the detail profile of each beers and it is easier to narrow it down to something that I would enjoy. And of course the friendly staff here really know their beers.
Cochonnette ($ 8.85) and Vedett Extra White ($ 7.95) were both enjoyable. I just wish I can drink a few more but as usual with the high ABV% of Belgium beer, I have to take it easy.
Belgian Frites ($ 8.00) though cannot compare to what I had in Belgium, so the search for the best frites is still on. The frites here itself is nice and crispy, great to munch on while drinking beer.
St Veronus is a gem, not to be miss if you are into Belgium Imports.

By far the best Belgian Taproom in Peterborough. Wasn’t a huge fan of the poutine carbonnades, but that might have been because everything else was so good.

Dropped in and had mussels, beer and the best bread pudding ever!
Cant wait to go back.
