About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
Rapscallion & Co. is a mischievous and vibrant part
of Hamilton’s restaurant scene, dedicated to offering the city’s culinary
connoisseurs a full nose-to-tail experience. We offer a regularly changing,
meaty and creative menu in a laid-back setting. Our skilled and
passionate chefs do it all, whether it’s curing, salting, boning, stuffing,
wrapping, charring, braising, or just leaving the meat raw.
Above all, we love to prepare food that pushes boundaries and pulls you outside of your comfort zone — just a little bit. We get tremendous joy out of food and offer items that you are unlikely to find another local restaurants. While we love meat more than some people love their firstborn, we are always happy to accommodate those who don’t. Vegetarians and vegans are always welcome, options available by request.

    Each of our four dishes was interesting and prepared perfectly. I left with the intent to try some of the ideas in them at home. The server was also friendly, witty, informed, and attentive. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

    We had an exceptional dining experience at Rapscallion, which explains its enduring popularity over 12 years. Opting for the chef's experience was a highlight, with ridiculously good food. Our server was highly professional, and this experience reinforced our view that Hamilton Downtown has the best growing food scene in Ontario. It’s the the morning after a wonderful evening and We have already recommended Rapscallion to our truest “foodie” and quality restaurant going friends. Thank you to the staff and chef for a memorable birthday dinner. We will be back!

    It was a very busy place when we arrived and took a few minutes to get seated (we had a reservation thankfully!) our service was outstanding… despite issues with their order entry system the server took his time and made jokes and checked in often. We had a very yummy breakfast (get the hashbrowns!!!) and enjoyed our time there. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Thank you for the great review Michelle! Technology was not our friend that day.
