Evening Forkers!

The airโ€™s a little crisper, the evenings a little earlier, and fall comfort food season is starting to creep in ๐Ÿ‘€. Still, Hamilton isnโ€™t done with summer just yet.

This week weโ€™ve got a brand new Kinton Ramen downtown, the always-sweet Winona Peach Festival, and the Punk Rock Flea Market, plus plenty more food news and events to keep you busy.

Scroll on for all the details and tell us, are you ready to swap patios for comfort food, or holding on to summer a little longer?

3 Hess Village Spots to Try Right Now


๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท Limani on Hess: Sister restaurant to Limani at Fifty, Limani specializes in an extensive Greek menu. They have a beautiful space and great patio right on Hess, but if you need takeout, they have a separate takeout window available with parking. 29 Hess St S #27, Hamilton, ON

๐ŸŒฎ Amigos Tex-Mex: Trendy and colourful spot for "not so authentic" Tex Mex, as they say. The menu includes tasty options like tacos, burritos, chimichangas and more. 109 George St, Hamilton, ON

๐ŸŒพ Radius: A perfect date spot and one of Heather's favourite local patios! It's a great place for dinner, a business lunch, or sharing apps with friends. 18 Hess St S, Hamilton, ON
