Peter Christian's Tavern

5 star kitchen and 5 star bar. This is the best restaurant in New London Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Food is prepared quickly and professionally, and service is amazing. Some of my favorite dishes include the seafood chowder, the steak tips, the caesar salad, the sheperd's pie, and especially the chili. The menu is huge and they have all kinds of food available. And if you want to stay the night, there's a nice inn right in the same building.

We stopped in here on our way home from Woodstock VT. We both had the Shepherds pie, there are two sizes and we got the larger. My husband thought the serving was a bit small for the price, I actually couldn't finish mine. The food was warm and filling, definitely could of taken a nap afterwards.

7/17/25–Today, our friends spent their last morning at our rented lake house. He decided to meet his cousin at the Peter Christian Pub, so we tagged along.

He insisted we try their mustard sauce, claiming it was the best, and I have to say, it was pretty amazing. I enjoyed my burger and fries—usually, I don’t eat these things, but hey, when you’re at a pub, you’ve got to go with the flow, right? And the beef stew? Hands down, the best I’ve ever had

Nice tavern. Food was good (although not spectacular). The cocktails were excellent and the bartender was great. She had an amazing energy and made everyone happy. The decor inside is interesting and reminded me of taverns in Europe. They have a nice selection of draft beers too. Will definitely recommend people to stop by and grab a bite and some libations.

A neat little spot right in the middle of New London. The shepherds pie and wedge salad are quite good as is the French Dip. Speaking of French, the French Onion Soup is done right here. The broth is packed with onions while not being overly salty or bland. Staff are friendly and helpful even when it's busy. The service is usually quick, but bear in mind it does her busy since it's one of just a couple sit down restaurants in town with table service. It has been remodeled, which is nice, but some of the ambience that made it feel like an old time New England tavern style eatery. They did keep some of those old tables with the high walls around them. If you're going for that old school colonial vibe, you'll be disappointed since from the outside it looks modern and trendy. They offer standa
