Tip: This mall is a ghost town. However, there are good eateries.
I've walked by Peterborough Square a couple of times within the past year. It's downtown.
My best friend said that this mall doesn't have the best shopping, mainly because there are a lot of vacancies. It is next door to Market Hall Performance Arts Centre. I saw Melanie Doane and Gil Deacon perform at this venue last November.
Despite the mall's emptiness, it does have dome decent eateries:
- Curry Mantra, an Indian eatery. It had amazing samosas at Peterborough Veg Fest this year.
- El Camino's, which offers massive portions of burritos and nachos. It was also open late when the performance that I saw was done at 10:30 pm. It closes at 3 am!
- The Favourite Greek, which offers classic Greek dishes, such as spanakopita and souvlaki
I liked seeing the sculpture, Figures dancing, outside the mall's main entrance. Don Frost, a Canadian sculptor, created it in 1974. The sculpture is fourteen feet in height, and is made of fiberglass and steel.
I'm not sure if this mall has revitalization plans. It could use a refresh of some sort. Otherwise, go eat here.
