Culpeppers Restaurant and Eatery







Note: Reported as moved - building torn down - now at 1500 Regent Street

Culpeppers has been a part of Sudbury for many years. It has a good reputation for fine food and pleasant dining.

I often wondered if a culpepper was a part of the green pepper family but after googling it, I could only find references to people's names. There is even a person named Pepper Culpepper (just google it)

Tonight we were blessed with a very outgoing and well-informed waitress who looked after us very well.

My g/f and I both ordered the weiner schnizel which was a mistake. It was very thin and very dry - not at all close to anything I had eaten by that name in any other restaurant.

The young one had Chicken Tetrazini and her mother had Lake Trout which was the catch of the day. Both of them enjoyed their meals very much so four orders and two opinions.

The waitress could not do enough for us and kept coming back to see if we needed or wanted something else. All in all she was at our table at least 8 times and perhaps more.

Our meal started with a basket of garlic bread which was very mild tasting. The girls loved it and polished it off in no time.

Unfortunately I forgot our ratings tickets so there are only two ratings to go by.

The menu was quite extensive with a lot of choice.

The decor was very nice, even though all the pictures on the wall seemed to be of dead people.

The other decor, lighting, plastic plants and window dressing was all very pleasant and not at all like a funeral parlour in spite of the dead people pictures.

By dead people, I am referring to the likes of James Dean, Carey Grant and similar past stars.

The total price with one alcoholic drink was a reasonable $87.04 before tip.
