The new meets the old when it comes to the best Hamilton restaurants in a city that is becoming an emerging culinary powehouse.  The classic favourites have blended with the new renaissance of culinary flair. Regardless of where you choose to dine the tatsebuds are in for a treat whether you're going to a neighbourhood staple or the newest kid on the block.  Many publications have touted the city’s draw when it comes to its culinary prowess or just good old fashioned eats. Picking the best Hamilton restaurants is not an easy task and honestly is up for much debate. What I believe can be agreed upon though, is that it's an incredibly easy task to at least attempt to choose them.
