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.

    Probably my new favourite restaurant. Everything was incredible. All the appetizers we shared, the mains, dessert, cocktails and wine. Prices are super reasonable for the quality of food and service was impeccable. I highly recommend. Don’t think twice, just book it!

    Only thing I’d say is the non alcoholic cocktails were lacking, some more originality/non soda based cocktails would be appreciated for people who are not drinking alcohol

    Our first time and what a lovely, enjoyable lunch. The calamari appetizer is delicious! My husband loved the Wagu burger and my fusilli pasta limone was light and delicious. Good wine selection. My husband loved the pot de chocolate. We are definitely coming back to try dinner. This restaurant is a newly found gem.

    This is my second review for Rapscallion, and once again, it was an absolute delight. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was top-notch, even with how busy it was. Despite the crowd, our reservation was honored right on time, and we were seated immediately. The staff remained attentive and friendly throughout our meal, making the experience even better. Rapscallion continues to impress, and we’ll be back many, many times

    Although we had reservations, we had to wait over 10 minutes for our table. Despite this, the food was amazing and we had a great experience.
