A landmark on Queen St. West since 1921 (read the history here), Peter Pan Bistro has always been a prime lunch time spot, perhaps for it's ambiance (spectacular tin ceiling) or delicious lunch dishes for under $10.



Whatever the case, how befitting it was to have a baby-shower gathering at a venue named Peter Pan.



I was more interested in the dessert menu than anything else that day.



Mmm.....Death by chocolate sounded like the way to go!



Very rich, very deadly. (I think I passed out about 1/2 an hour after eating this. :))

Everyone else's dishes looked fantastic (and from what I heard, tasted just as good!)
