Things to do in Perth
1. Mex & Co
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 178 reviews
Reviewed By SeeCanada - Lindsay, Canada
I've tried lots of Tex Mex places and I'm not terribly concerned about authenticity if the food is good, but the food here is pretty meh. The "food truck style" tacos were nothing special. The main dishes were okay. The guacamole was more onions than avocados. Dinner for four with no alcohol was something like $120, which would have been fine for a good meal, but was very overpriced for the quality of food. Not bad, just not very good. I hate to run down a small-town, local restaurant, and the setting is truly lovely. Next time we'll try one of the diners instead.
2. Peter's Family Fare Restaurant

Our family stopped into Peter's while going through Perth. We had hoped the friendly looking restaurant promising family fare would prove a more "home cooked" economical and tasty alternative to the other restaurants we had passed on the street so we were excited to give it a try.
On first glance the menu had a good assortment of your typical "family diner" foods and very reasonable prices - until you read the fine print to find out that the price doesn't include anything but the Sandwich, or burger or hotdog etc.. fries are an additional @4$.
My simple BLT was close to$10..a chili dog for $6.00 is a good price, IF it included fries, but $6 for a standard wrinkled hot dog and a slice of processed cheese covered with some canned chili it is not.
The food was neither tasty, nor economical.
Spend a couple more dollars and eat somewhere where the cutlery on the table isn't caked with the last patron's dessert and the price on the menus include sides.

Reviewed By mondort - Renfrew,ON
Ordered something simple and discusting.
Fries and gravy, not a difficult order-freezer burnt, small pieces, clear gravy, large amount of sea salt pilled on top.
They were shoe string McCain fries., couldn't eat them, and normally I don't believe in wasting food. Just couldn't do it.
Ordered a ceasar to drink, it was transparent and flavourless.
The waitress ask me are you ordering anything other than water to drink?

My wife and I had dinner here. Portions are good, and very tasty. Good selection of beer and wine. Prices are on the fine dining side.
My one complaint is that entrees are close to $30. Butter served in plastic containers (like fast food joints) isn't good enough.
We would, and will, definitely return.

In our experience, a group meal has frequently been a disappointment. Bistro 54 has been the exception. This was the second time we have joined a large group for a meal and come away completely satisfied. Our shared appetizers were delicious as were our individual orders. We were never rushed, our orders were ably handled and Dave, the chef/owner was most gracious.

We were visiting relatives in Perth this past weekend and decided to try Michaels Table for lunch. There were 5 in our party and when my wife asked the hostess for a table for 5 she seemed to become a bit anxious but seated us is spite of the anxiety she was showing. My wife told me about this and stated it seem odd for the hostess to be acting that way. Well we soon discovered that the issue was that they were running out of food. My sister wanted a burger but they were out of them so she ordered something they had in stock. We were all able to eventually order something that we liked but not necessarily something that we wanted at the time. It would have been nice to try some of their other offerings but it was not to be. Interestingly, they closed the restaurant when we had finished and were leaving the establishment. The meals were decent but nothing special.

If you want to eat hear I suggest you make a reservation. We arrived 25 minutes before we wanted to eat and were told that we might be accommodated. That tells you that the food is great if they are this busy. We were seated on time just as my Brother in Law arrived from Ottawa. We had a wonderful time chatting and having our lunch. I has fish and chips and John had Steak Tacos. I also had a 2 pints of beer and my wife had Terre Gate pinot grigio. The service was great considering the place was packed. This is not a cheap pub but worth it.

I stopped in for an afternoon breakfast last weekend with a friend while on our way back to Ottawa. The food was delicious, and quite reasonably priced. I had standard breakfast, my friend had salmon eggs benny. We were both very pleased. The hash browns were some of the best that I've ever had. I will definitely stop in again when travelilng through Perth.
