Hamilton (and area) eats

[orbitgirl]

Friends just moved to Hamilton and are looking for the good eatin' places. they're specifically craving decent reasonably priced Chinese and Thai. Suggestions?

[thora]

For Thai, try My-Thai on John St. Definitely reasonably priced and really tasty!

Every weekend we do breakfast at the Ranch House on Queenston at Walter/parkdale.

I like Pho Dau Bo for Vietnamese. For Thai, I would go to Thai Coconut in Burlington (on Fairview Street). I've tried most of the Thai restaurants in Hamilton, and they just can't compare with Thai Coconut Restaurant. I hope this helped.

Tally-Ho, for roast-beef sandwiches (I always say that Tally-Ho is what Arby's wants to be when it grows up), salty gravy, and their old-school vibe.

Can't have a Hamilton thread w/o mention of Tally-Ho!

Thanks to all for your great suggestions!

This is covered in a few other recent and recently updated threads, try searching for Hamilton and you'll find out what is available in Hamilton. Suffice it to say, names that come up regularly are:

B&T (Thai, Vietnamese, Pho)
Pho Dau Bo (pretty obvious from the name)
Le Chinois (Chinese, the location on King East is the most consistent location, although I've had takeout from their Upper Wentworth/Limeridge location).
Forbidden City (Decent Chinese and consistent takeout)
Iron Chef Restaurant (Dim Sum)
August 8 (Dim Sum and Sushi)
Matsu Sushi (Dundas)
Hoya (Korean and Sushi)

Other foods:
Mex-I-Can (Mexican street foods)
La Luna (Mediterranean with a strong Lebanese focus)
Dalinas (Egyptian)
Karolina's (Polish)
Chicago Style Pizza Shack (self-explanatory and some of the best "red sauce" style Italian)
Capri (Italian)
The Sirloin Cellar (Old school steak house)
Slainte (Pub)

Don't forget My Buddy's Paradise for awesome gyros; they use to be downtown but moved up the mountain. Upper Paradise Rd. & Stone Church Rd.

Hamiltonians rave about this place!

You have to try La Luna...it is my absolute favourite place to eat in Hamilton!!! The Fattoush salad is amazing :)

I also love Denninger's - a great German deli/market that have small cafes where you can buy a schnitzel on a bun!! YUM!!!

Have to throw in my vote for:
Curry Cabana - Guyanese resto with awesome rotis on King St E near Walnut

Roti Hut - Trinidadian roti take-out at King E & Connaught

For some bistro meals, try:

Incognito on John St - lovely, fresh, local bistro fare in a relaxing atmosphere

Boo's Bistro on James St S - bistro fare with a S.E. Asian twist

Bistro Parisien - decent French bistro fare with friendly service and decent prices

For goods to cook at home, try "Punjab Food Mart - A world of delicatessens" - literally - everything from fresh roasted coffee, to indian spices, to Bulagarian cheese!!! It's awesome! Corner of Hgwy 20 and Queenston Rd (east)

Here's a couple of newer places that I like:
Ya Man near King & Wellington - clean spot, well executed Caribbean food, nicely spiced with fresh, healthy preparation

The Spotted Pig on Augusta near James St. S - pub with upscale leanings; good pulled pork sandwich, trio of sliders, decent butter tart

I was going to Hamilton tonight to see Margaret Cho, and I so I came to this thread for some suggestions. We ended up going to Dalina's. My boyfriend had the rabbit and kosheri rice (basically lentils with tahini and fried onions) and I had "Egypt's National Dish", Foole Mudames, which is mushy fava beans. We had a great time, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fun. Would recommend it highly. Rabbit was $20, Foole was $14
