Not only has Hamilton seen an exponential rise in real estate, but Steel City has also increased its credibility on the food scene with delicious restaurant options across The Hammer. Like all businesses, these restaurants have had to shift their operations and adjust to life during the pandemic. To support them, we ordered in from some favourite Hamilton eateries (what fun!)
Here are our top 5…
Bon Temps: This little gem is located in Corktown and its name literally translates to ‘Good Times’. Owner, Dave Fauteux (an instrumental partner for many Hamilton restaurants) and his team of skilled chefs create French-inspired dishes. Although this is an incredible in-house dining experience, the Bon Temps team also creates revolving take-out menus to help us have good times through this current lockdown. Place your order quickly via phone at 905-523-7177 (dishes often sell out.)
