Hamilton's restaurant scene is diverse and vibrant. Here are five must-visit spots that offer a unique dining experience.
1. Rapscallion and Co.
Had an amazing time at Rapscallion and Co. The Whipped Feta and cocktails were a delight. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, even when we decided to move our brunch to the patio on a beautiful day. Each dish was unique and delicious, truly showcasing the chef's passion. The restaurant setting was surprisingly decent and added to the overall experience. The only hiccup was the parking situation around James St, but there's a municipal parking nearby. Highly recommend this place for any special outing.

2. HAMBRGR King William
I had an amazing experience at HAMBRGR King William. The burgers are fantastic, even when delivered! I've tried a variety of their burgers and none have disappointed. The Magic Mushroom, Popcorn Chicken & Waffles, and a cheese pot with potatoes were all delightful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The Yard Bird poutine and onion rings are also a must-try. Despite a unique shared table experience and a bit of a wait, it's worth it. Just a heads up, it's a popular spot, so consider booking ahead if you're a larger group. Can't wait to go back!

3. Rib City Grill
I've had a mixed bag of experiences at Rib City Grill, an American barbecue shop. Their Pork Side Ribs come highly recommended, but I've had some hits and misses. The brisket, once a favorite, has sadly been removed from the menu. I've also had some issues with takeout orders not being quite right. However, when they're on their game, the baby back ribs and mac and cheese are excellent. The service can be hit or miss, but on a good day, they really knock it out of the park. I'm still deciding if I'll be back.

4. Barangas On The Beach
Had an amazing experience at Barangas On The Beach! The Greek restaurant's atmosphere is a delight, especially the patio seating by the water. The calamari was crispy and delicious, paired perfectly with their homemade tzatziki sauce. The Greek salad and fish and chips were also outstanding. The fish was delicately cooked inside a crispy batter, just how it should be. The patio reminded me of being in Mykonos, minus the wind. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Don't forget to take a walk along the lake after your meal!

5. Ancaster Mill
Had an amazing time at Ancaster Mill! The waterfall view from the window seat was breathtaking. The food was so good, my stomach was about to burst! The caramelized pears and scone dessert were the cherry on top. The ambiance, complete with the sound of the falls and live music, was just perfect. The service was top-notch too. Just a heads up, the place can get packed, so make sure to reserve ahead. And if you can, get a seat by the patio, it's worth the wait. Can't wait to go back and try their Sunday brunch!
