    We booked a table for dinner for family and they loved the ambience of the place and the hospitality provided by the owner Suzy. The food was quite a mix of flavours and really worked well for us as we were looking for some different delicacies to try in vegetarian. The place also offers gluten free food which was a plus as we had friends who wanted gluten free items. All in all a pleasant evening in a warm environment made for a lovely dinner.

    We were a party of four people and reservations are definitely recommended as the place is small and every table was filled. We found the fig and honey bruschetta to be very delicious. We all ordered different main courses which were all delicious. We highly recommend the tiramisu for dessert. An overall great experience and we will definitely go back.

    At last we have found a restaurant in Hamilton that ticks all the boxes. Brothers Grimm is downstairs in a basement and it’s got a wonderful atmosphere, original stone walls, vaulted brick ceiling, large bar area, comfy seating. The menu is distinctive, not the usual boring selection common to so many dining establishments, but filled with interesting dishes. The biggest problem is deciding what to order - so many tempting choices including venison, game sausages, steak frites. The wine list includes many unusual bottles - apparently the cellar features only wines not found at the LCBO. Highly recommend.
