Hamilton, Burlington and Area

CLICK HERE FOR MY LATEST ARTICLES ON LOCAL DINING DISTRICTS IN HAMILTON CITY MAGAZINE

There’s been an explosion of Hamilton eateries and it’s hard to keep up. From November 2018 to November 2022, keeping up was my job as the Restaurant Reviewer for the Hamilton Spectator, visiting a resto every week!

[COVID-19 Update - Sadly I have had to delete a few of my favourites that did not survive. Also, some restos are surviving but in a modified mode - not serving the kind of menu they had pre-pandemic.] I decided not to reproduce every Spec review here - only those places that have become favourites. This doesn’t mean there’s something terribly wrong with other locations. Hard to describe the mystery of forming a bond with an eatery. To see some of my last Spec reviews, Google ‘Hamilton Spectator Galambos’.

You can see my latest reviews here and all of them on MuckRack.

See my Dining District articles for the Hamilton City Magazine. So many fab places not yet listed here. For example, Hamilton - Mystic Ramen, Le Tambour, Synonym, Rapscallion, Henry’s, and more; Burlington - DiMario’s, Bardo, Isabelle’s and more.
