Love this place.. family run and you feel the love in every part. The food is always fresh and fabulous and Alvaro’s service and added touches are the best.. it’s a real experience! Great with a group- try and split everything! Never disappointed or hungry when we leave.
Great ambiance but very disappointed in the quality of the food and the pushy server.

Beautiful evening sharing tapas on the patio. Owner went out of his way to be helpful and assisted us in making order choices. The food was delicious, hot and fresh and perfect for sharing. A real gem of a restaurant. 10/10 recommend.

Went there last night on an impulse and it turned out to be amazing. Service was really wonderful....the kindness and conversations with staff were a big part of the joy of the place....but the food....the food was fantastic. Some of the best gazpacho and fried squid I have ever had. It seems like a bit of a secret tucked away on a smaller back street but there was a full patio of people who obviously know about this restaurant. Very much worth an evening out.

Everything about Fresh Dreams is a delight—from the warm atmosphere and delicious food to the thoughtful attention to detail and genuine care for guests. The music, the ambiance, and above all, the authenticity of the Spanish cuisine create an unforgettable experience.
I’ve tried paella in many cities across Spain, and Monica’s is by far the best I’ve ever had—hands down. I keep coming back, always bringing new friends along, just to have another reason to return.
¡Gracias, Álvaro y Monica!

We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary here. It was a delight! The ambiance was quaint, authentic and so charming. The food was delicious from beginning to end. And the service was top notch. The owner suggested a few dishes and he was right on. The presentation of each one was lovely and the taste incredible. We has such a lovely evening and will definitely return. Thank you Fresh Dreams!

I had a fantastic solo dining experience here. The owner was incredibly kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. The Paella is a definite must-try!
Went with a group of 10 yesterday! Immediately felt at home when I arrived. Excellent customer service by all! Our group shared tapas and Moroccan chicken. Every dish was sooooo delicious!! Call ahead to make reservations and bring cash! Highly recommended! ¡Gracias!

This place is simply amazing. I came to town for a short trip, and this restaurant ended up being the highlight—it truly made my whole visit.
I honestly envy the locals who get to enjoy this place regularly. I’d absolutely come back just to experience the food again.
The service is top-notch. The warmth and passion they put into the food and hospitality genuinely made me happy.
Yes, the wait was on the longer side, but not a second of it felt wasted. The atmosphere, the anticipation, the flavors—it all came together beautifully.
Maybe it was the surprise of it all, but dining here felt quietly romantic. The couple next to us looked like they stepped straight out of Before Sunrise.
I just love this place. Thank you for the unforgettable memories

Stopped here for takeout but ended up getting amazing service and hospitality. We were treated to yummy olives while waiting. The food was mouthwatering. We can't wait to come back.

My favorite restaurant in Peterborough. I can't say enough great things about this place...the food, the service, atmosphere and drinks. All around 10/10 experience every time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a special date night or occasion to celebrate...or just to enjoy delicious food.

Had a new experience dining at Fresh Dreams in Peterborough on Saturday night. The atmosphere was a little cold and I found the tables too close together for my liking. The service was excellent, prompt and efficient. The food was delicious and honestly the best scallops i’ve ever had. I was not a fan of how the meal was served though. I like to eat a meal with a veggie and a starch on the same plate with my protein. Instead, at Fresh Dreams, they serve everything separately. Not a fan. I felt it took away from my dining experience. I loved that they offered a gluten free desert. 😊 Overall, a great experience but I probably won’t be back.
