- PPaulToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had an amazing evening celebrating our 18th anniversary. Im on the carnivore diet and my girlfriend is keto and they accommodated our dietary requirements. I had the 22oz bone-in Ribeye without any sides and my girlfriend had the prime rib with veggies and they swapped the potatoes witb butternut spaghetti squash. Both entree's were fantastic. Highly recommend and will return.More infoRare RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• French• Peterborough•4.8

- KKateMontreal / Quebec •1 review5.0Dined on 9 Feb 2025Our only trouble at Agave is limiting our intake because everything is so good. Everything from the spicy beef burger to the vegan cauliflower tacos is delicious and you really cannot go wrong no matter what you order. If you have limits on how much jalapeno you can take, you might want to specify that to the server (all the waitstaff is great), but if you have no fear then trust the kitchen. They really know what they're doing!More infoAGAVE BY IMPERIALPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Peterborough•4.5
