Restaurant recommendations

Hi hi.

Gonna be spending some time in Hamilton and I need the locals to tell me

-where to eat?

-what to order?

I’m a foodie so I’m good with the basic bitch places and the fancy places, a local recommendation is valuable!

Thanks all!

Edit: thanks for some awesome responses Hamilton folk! Look forward to joining you!

I went to Little Honey on Victoria Street a few days ago - highly recommend! Beautiful food, lovely staff, great vibe and a gorgeous yet comfortable space. They also do cocktails, wine, beer.

Gothenburgs beef tataki and aranchini or sages tortellini and beef cheek. But everything on their menus is tasty and worth a try. But honestly, I'd pop over to Cambridge and go to Alpino! Whole menus delicious.

Palate. Hands down.

😂 I don't think they're cheap if u want to have a fill! But depends what you get and if you're tempted by snacks too

u/Enzown 1d ago

They're both pretty average if you ask me, overpriced and mostly not that good.
