The atmosphere is very quaint, as expected from Dundas. The furniture and decor all give off a peaceful vibe that I enjoy very much. Having the Chili con Amore and its delicious. I have a low spice tolerance so I'm glad I ordered a cup of jasmine green tea along with it. There's only one staff member on duty at the moment, but its not a super busy place. She's extremely polite and gives a reflection of great service. Overall, I highly recommend this easy to miss place. Its not very large, so I suggest to go either alone or with one other.

(Back-to-back Portuguese food in the GTA (is Hamilton included?) - 2 of 2)…read more The Little Grasshopper Cafe' is where I had originally planned to eat, but they would be closing. I then considered it for the following day so that it would act as breakfast and lunch ... an early lunch. The name was interesting, but I didn't ask about its etymology. Portugal has a strong symbolic relationship with roosters and hydrangeas, but I was interested in eating and moving along up the QEW toward Toronto proper. Nonetheless, it's a smaller cafe' behind a brick storefront that is roomy inside. I did not want a big meal and I did not want Canadian food. I selected a fish sandwich, which was a good sized filet. It worked very well for what I needed. I washed it down with a bottle of Sumol. And, on the way out, I added an impulse purchase - a pastel de nata - which was gone in a flash. It was all good. The proprietress of the restaurant was on hand, took my order, and was the server. She was very pleasant. The prices seemed fair. Hamilton is a surprisingly large city, with about 3/4 of a million inhabitants. While it sits in the kink in the "Golden Horseshoe," its downtown core sits inward from the lake. And, in between the lake and downtown, there are residential neighborhoods and small businesses. The area changes very quickly, with some parts being frayed and others being gentrified. The Little Grasshopper Cafe' is in a nice enough area and street parking can be found very close to the restaurant. Additionally, it has a somewhat hippie-dippy mural on the exterior that will also help you locate it. I would return, but I think it would also make a great place for morning coffee and an omelette or pastries.

Wow. I had the vegan burger, fries and the Sabby salad with tuna. Oh! And the London Fog. It was…read moreabsolutely fantastic!

Ambiance is that we were at a public park. So there was going be grass and goose poop.

Although name has changed, the food is the same - just as the first time we had. The consistency not so much. The Famous Burger - was just as I had the first time. Big, a bit messy to eat. Loved it. The Vopper - again same as we had it first. Made just the way we liked it. The Vegan Pulled Jack - was disappointing. Very less flavour of the BBQ sauce. It very bland and not at all as we remember it. Wingalings - the texture the same and sauce good (Red Hot). However in this even though the texture is the same, the market has improved in the nuggets are where the texture has changed to so much closer to the real thing. The Poutine - disappointing as well. Too much gravy too much and Cheeze, way less. A few years this Cheeze has improved elsewhere but here the Cheeze has remained the same. Perhaps we were hoping that it improved with it being more stringy.

The Cannon is a coffee shop that offers a selection of sit down brunch options. Upon entering we were immediately greeted with a friendly smile from the barista at the counter. The interior is beautifully lit with natural light as the floor to ceiling windows allow for tons of light. The food was excellent, and I mean excellent. I had poached egg, with bacon and a waffle. It was so good. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it. My girlfriend had the salmon with avocado and waffle. That too was amazing. She had a cappuccino and the barista had done a very nice milk art. For me, since I dont drink coffee I had the organelle mango juice. Again, it was more than exceptional. Oh, along with the meal, they bring over Dawson's hot sauce and syrup. I had a taste of smoke bbq chipotle and instantly put over the bacon eggs and waffles. I couldn't leave without purchasing a bottle for myself. It was so good. If ever I'm in Hamilton again, I would definitely go here again.

Deplorable planning of staff. We arrived at 6 pm. and didn't receive our food until after 7:30. They messed up further because one person's food order was missed. What owner of a restaurant doesn't call in more staff, there was only one chef! The food was okay, nothing great! The server tried her best, but it wasn't good enough. I suggested free dessert, due to the aggravation. She hesitated and then did give us free dessert. 20 % gratuities were added to our bill. A further insult to the evening. 10% or 15% would have been more deserving. We usually give 15% but this was undeserving. The owner's may have been away, or too busy to correct this situation.

You enter in to see clean, modern aesthetic cafe vibes and a rack of freshly baked sourdough from Dear Grain. The cafe connects to its outdoor seating area and feels a bit like a secret garden. There's a variety of baked goods, food, and drinks to choose from. Their espresso tends to be on the mellower side - I think it's a medium body, mild & balanced, and pairs well with milk. If you're into pour overs, Detour has an incredible selection of their own coffee bean roasts. Not a coffee fan? No problem. I also recommend this spot to pick up the best artisan style sourdough I've had in this area (if you're not close to Dear Grain Commissary in downtown Hamilton). Crunchy crust and the softest sourdough inside. Perfect for a fancy sandwich or to add to a charcuterie board! You won't regret it.

All were gems in quality, taste, sauce & plating. For dessert, I had the comforting cobbler. What a privilege to experience this fabulous establishment, in the unassuming Burlington area!

I usually go for the cocktails or wine which are always great, but the last time we decided to try a couple appetizers and were not disappointed. We got an order of oysters and the burrata. The burrata was one of the best I've had. The combination of the cheese with the honey and thyme was incredible, along with the grilled sourdough. Will be back simply for the burrata and will have to try some other items on the menu. I will say that my preference is the outdoor space compared to the indoor restaurant. We felt like the indoor atmosphere was a bit cold, if that makes sense! The tables and seating were so far apart, so it didn't feel very intimate. I'd probably opt to sit outdoor if you're going with a partner, but again, this is just my preference. Service is also fast and the staff is very friendly.
