Patio Season
The favourite expression for describing our obsession with patios in summer is “al fresco” which simply means “in the fresh” – Peterborough & the Kawarthas offers just that – dining with farm fresh flavours out in the open air. Which summer patio is your favourite? Here are a couple of our region’s great ones: The Silver Bean Café – on downtown Peterborough’s waterfront offers an urban oasis – its like sitting on the deck at your cottage, with great lunch eats and a to-die-for strawberry lemonade this is a great stop. The Old Mill at Islandview Resort is accessible by land and water – a great way to enjoy true cottage country delights.
