“ We found this restaurant by accident when walking down Queen Street - best find ever. We had friendly, prompt service, and we sat at the bar close to the kitchen to catch all the action. We ordered some of their specialty drinks which were made to perfection, followed by some of the best shucked oysters I have had east of Vancouver. Watching the care and detail of the sous-chef in shucking each oyster was inspiring. If you are in Sault Ste. Marie, I would highly recommend making this a destination. ”

“ My husband and I were in town for his business and decided to book at Peace Restaurant for our Saturday dinner and we were not disappointed! The service was amazing, the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable with their recommendations. The cocktails were innovative and the food was next level. Everything we tried had high quality ingredients and built complex flavours by layering just the right number of components. Would highly recommend paying them a visit and indulging in the miso ice cream!!! ”

“ Absolutely phenomenal dinning experience! The food is delicious, so much thought and effort goes in to every dish. The atmosphere is fresh and new in this city. And the staff make the whole experience an amazing culinary journey! I will definitely be returning again...and again...and again! Thank you for a wonderful evening! I keep going back and it gets better every time! You guys are phenomenal ”

“ Jessica took great care of us. They’re well crafted cocktails and interesting small plates and bites makes for a unique dinner. It definitely stands out in Sault Ste Marie and compares more to a hip, urban eatery in Toronto than what you’d expect in northern Ontario. We loved and we’ll go back. ”

“ It was my second visit to your restaurant, as I live out of town. This time I took friends with me so they could enjoy the experience as much as I had. They loved the food, service and atmosphere as well. We were in town for our annual summer convention and have already made plans to go back to your restaurant next year. ”

“ Great and interesting food, friendly service, neat atmosphere. Only minor complaint is that it's very expensive. Would definitely recommend if you're visiting from out of town or looking for a more upscale dinner date idea. I hope to return to try more next time I'm in town. ”

“ Absolutely Devine. I went in right at open and they treated us with beautiful cocktails, engaging staff and made us feel very welcome. My family and I came back in the evening, 20 of us, and again welcomed from so many familiar staff and culinary faces. The beef tartar was DELICIOUS. And meeting and chatting with Chef Matt and his team was awesome. We will all be back, wishing you all the best and see you soon. Michael ”

“ I had planned to dine at Peace Restaurant, having made arrangements to stay overnight in the town just across the water. It seemed a modest dream: to sit in quiet contemplation, break bread in a place named for harmony, and find warmth among strangers who might, at least in spirit, be kin. Alas, that small hope was extinguished at the border—where I was denied entry not for threats posed, nor laws broken, but for the apparent crime of existing as a transgender vegan with a passport not blessed by monarchy or its inheritors. A sovereign decision, no doubt, but one that casts long shadows across any claim to civility. To those still convinced that the British Commonwealth represents a model of justice, dignity, or peace: I invite you to reconsider the arithmetic. Symbols without substance are hollow things. A restaurant may be called Peace, a state may fly the banner of liberty—but neither guarantees its practice within. The water between us may be narrow, yet what lies beneath is deep with histories unhealed and customs unchecked. And to the gatekeeper, who turned away a fellow human on principle or protocol—may you dine well tonight. You will need the strength. Some consequences are not administered by governments, but by conscience. And it remembers what names do not. ”
