• Burgers • St. Catharines

People are going to spell our name wrong, and they’re going to question the choice. Simplicity applies to all things, and burgers are not an exception. We get right to the point at HAMBRGR. We give our guests the perfect combination of locally sourced ingredients, a wide selection of craft beer, culinary artistry, and of course, one of the most memorable experiences one can muster in the enriching restaurant culture sweeping over the city.

• Farm-to-table • St. Catharines

Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only. What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it. Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop? In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday. How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

    Treadwell’s pix fixe dinner menu is outstanding unless you don’t like anything they’re offering. Fortunately, we found three courses to delight. On a very chilly night, the covered patio was enhanced by the warm glow of space heaters and toasty blankets. We arrived early for our 730 reservation and left at 10, not because of slow service but because the charming ambience encouraged us to linger over coffee and chat. Chapeau bas to server Benoit, a professional French waiter of the old school.

    Always an amazing meal at Rizzos. We had Karina as our server both times we have busted and the service is amazing. Service is warm and relaxed and she remembered us visiting the first time and we were able to reconnect and catch up again. Can not wait to get back….the food is always amazing.

    Great dining experience! We started off with the tartine (excellent), followed by the squid (lightly breaded, tender, delicious) and the veal sweatbreads (very good, a little heavy on the breading for my taste). Next up: the mushrooms and polenta (great) and, finally, the spinach with beef tongue (great dish!). Dessert was the poached pear (poached to perfection). The service was excellent, the noise-level, on the other hand, a little high. The bill came to close to $100 per person (only one glass of wine between the two of us), which is what you have to expect to pay for this sort of quality nowadays.
