Cheap Places to Eat in Kitchener

"Nothing says I love you like treating your significant other to recipes passed down through generations. This Italian fine dining establishment is the real deal and has been around since 1986. Its iron gates, muraled ceilings, wood-oven pizzette and private garden patio make for a romantic setting to indulge in gourmet cuisine and aromatic wines."

"A few years after the more established Pokeh brought the poke bowl craze to the Hammer, a new purveyor of those Hawaiian sushi bowls has opened up in Hamilton’s east end. Poke Co. may be brand new, but they are already pounding out delicious food that holds its own against the city’s other poke options. An extensive menu of pre-built bowls is available with everything from raw fish to tofu to sous vide pork on beds of fresh vegetables and sushi rice, but guests can also go fully custom and build a bowl with choice of base, vegetables, sauces, and protein."

"Opened in 2015, Pokeh is considered the first poke eatery ever in Canada, serving up fresh Hawaiian inspired poke bowls at two locations in Hamilton."

"Sankofa Dining is located in the heart of Corktown, Hamilton Ontario, a warm friendly experience blended with chic culture. We specialize in authentic home style meals and an elevated modern twist to casual dining."

"This 90 year-old local staple is the very definition of a classic. Grilling up some of the city’s best hotdogs in their original vintage digs since 1930, Easterbrook’s has been enjoyed time and time again by countless Hamiltonians for generations. Though known for their sizeable menu of legendary footlong hotdogs dressed in a wide variety of toppings, Easterbrook’s doesn’t stop there; they’ve also got homemade burgers, fries, and ice cream perfect for a summer picnic in the park."

"Along with The French and Brux House, Nique is a new restaurant providing a more upscale casual dining experience in Hamilton. Their food portions are on the smaller side but it’s all internationally inspired which makes for some really neat dishes to pair your drink with. And they of course have a great selection of beer from across Ontario to pick from."

"Open until 2 a.m, on weekends, Nique serves up late-night snacks that go great with a cocktail (or two). This spacious downtown restaurant gives a nod to Canadian culture with a mosaic of dishes like their famous sushi nachos made with wontons. The interior features an open kitchen, pop art on the walls, and a large square bar."
