Incredible food, especially for food connoisseurs and meat-lovers. Small dishes so you usually order a few, and there is a new menu every day. A little pricey, but definitely delicious!

The food is simply delicious. They offer yummy burgers, heaping portions of fries, salad, but their main offering is hearty and tasty soups, with different kinds offered each day (you can check out their menu for the day on Instagram). There is a second location at 10 Cannon St. E and they each offer different soups each day so you can always check out both menus to see which one you prefer!

This is my go-to grocery store. It is a natural food store that offers groceries, supplements, personal care items, prepared foods, and a self-serve deli. With my love for healthy eating and quality food this is a regular place both to eat and shop. This is a family-owned business which was started in Hamilton and now offers 9 stores within Ontario (including two in Hamilton - there is a much smaller location on Locke Street South as well).
