About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Rapscallion is probably our favourite restaurant in Hamilton. It manages to balance classy with fun, formal with friendly and is our go-to place for the tiniest excuse for a celebration. Our most recent excuse was that the day was the mid-point between my birthday and my wife’s birthday!
