The EL[P] restaurant recently opened in the former Hot Belly Mama’s location at 378 George St. in downtown Peterborough.
Owned by Amanda and Greg Da Silva, the couple already operates a successful sister restaurant in Cobourg called “The EL” with the same atmosphere. Described as a “Gastropub”, they say the menu is inspired by worldly travels, featuring locally sourced ingredients.
