Hamilton Eats
I thought it was about time I compiled a list of places I like to eat in my hometown the Tron!
Hamilton gets a pretty bad rap, we may not have heaps of hot spots - but the places we do have are pretty darn incredible in my opinion!
I hope you go try some of these places and I’d love to know about hidden gems I haven’t mentioned here
MORNING - didn’t know how to split these all up! There is great coffee, breakfast and lunch options here
Osten - in my humble opinion they do they best coffee in Hamilton.
Hayes Common - I love walking along the river from the Hamilton Gardens and stopping to get a coffee here.
Nourish Pod - if you feel like açai, do not go anywhere else. They do the best
The Kirk cafe - hehe very insta worthy dishes, they plate their food so beautifully, it tastes just as delicious as it looks
Camarosa - cool location and they do amazing buckwheat pancakes and coffee
Punnet - incredible family venue. Delish food and pop next door to country providore for an ice cream or a little browse.
Homebrew Coffee - if you like a dirty chai .. They do the best, they call it a chai voltage. You must go try, plus best service ever!!
Paddock - yummy little cafe in Cambridge.
Mavis and Co - they do the best caramelised onion scones.
DINNER
Banh Mi Caphe - no surprises this is the top of my list! It would always be my first option. Vietnamese heaven
Mr Pickles - a very close second. Amazing food, service and they make a mean cocktail
Gothenburg - delish! Fun with friends, order lots of little share plates.
Chim Choo Ree - a family favourite! Something a little nicer for a special occasion
Gourmet in the Gardens or Garage - depending on what time of year! Always a fun way to spend a Friday night. We are talking food trucks, live music and a cool atmosphere
Mexico - margaritas and fried chicken. enough said
Eat burger - perfect if you’re in the mood for a burger.
OTHER
Duck Island Icecream - if you haven’t tried, I’m here to tell you that’s a crime! My all time favourite is the coconut chocolate. There is two locations in Hamilton. Perfect for dessert
Wonder Horse - seriously good cocktails! Like seriously good, very strong too ...
Sunny Nelson real fruit ice cream - you’ll find Josh on Killarney Road, he whips up some seriously good real fruit ice cream and he has lots of delish limited edition flavours too
Turkish takeaways - I’m actually not sure what this place is called, but I’m here to share that Johnny and I think we have found the best turkish takeaway in Hamilton (our favourite takeaways). It's on Te Rapa straight by the petrol station, and by fillabowl.
Volare - hello almond croissants
Mizzoni Pizza - I feel like this wouldn’t be a list without these guys. The best pizza in town (biased because I used to work for them)
I HAVEN’T TRIED (but I hear they are great)
Frank food - you’ll find Garden of Eden cakes here and good coffee apparently so totally worth a trip
Chilli house - apparently the best dumplings
Happy Eating, drinking and socialising
Love and Health,
