Hamilton - 10th Annual Tastes of Downtown

At a recent girlfriend's weekend, we decided to give the tour of independent restaurants in downtown Hamilton a try. We were very pleasantly surprised. with several simultaneous tours, each group of 12 visited 5 of the possible 15 participating restaurants. We had excellent service and food at Stairways (good Polish home cooking), La Piazza (awesome Italian, complete with wine pairings), Honest Lawyer (delicious pub apps), Gate of India (authentic!), 2 Black Sheep (oysters galore). While all warrant a repeat visit, and many of the others out guide pointed out along the way were intriguing, our hands down favourite was La Piazza. The enthusiasm of the chef and sommelier were as intoxicating as the food.
