3 Comfort Food Spots to Try Right Now

I feel like comfort foods means something different to everyone, but these are some of my favourite spots to go to "warm my bones" via my stomach.

🍜 Szechuan Noodle Bowl: This used to be one of my favourite spots to visit when I worked in downtown Hamilton. The hand-pulled noodles are excellent and they have a whole delicious menu of Szechuan specialties, like cucumber in hot and sour sauce, Dan Dan noodles, sauteed beef with pepper and onion and more. 117 King St E, Hamilton, ON

🥔 Ye Olde Squire: Now with several locations across Hamilton area, Ye Olde Squire is a great spot for classic pub fare and British food. My personal favourites there are their chicken tenders, and potato skins. 1508 Upper James St, Hamilton, ON L9B 1K3

🍲 Pho Nhung: This little pho spot on Queen near York is the ideal spot for warming up. The family owned shop has a plethora of options from Vietnamese mains and apps, banh mi sandwiches, plus Thai and Cambodian offerings like soups and rice noodle dishes. 85 Queen St N, Hamilton, ON
