I’ve been here long enough that I figure I could start a recommendation list for people visiting or passing through Hamilton, especially those from nearby Auckland. This isn’t a list of ‘best places to eat’Continue reading

Jukebox Diner, Dinsdale
Has it really been 3 months since I last updated?! Ooof. Have been crazy busy recently. :( We recently discovered a lovely little retro American diner in Dinsdale next to the car museum – ratherContinue reading
EatBurger, Skycity Hamilton
SkyCity has had a makeover! There are a few new establishments – a cafe named Coffee Post (which only opens M-F up to 3pm, snore…), a Good George branch, and a new burger place namedContinue reading
Little Korea, Hamilton Central
One of the better Korean restaurants in the Tron. We haven’t tried their BBQ (which looks fairly expensive), but we’ve ordered several of their traditional Korean dishes, and all have been pretty satisfactory. The softContinue reading
Joe’s Garage, Hamilton Central
We’ve been avoiding the Joe’s Garage franchise after a rather underwhelming experience with their mains at the Christchurch branch several years ago; fortunately (for us) we changed our minds and decided to give the HamiltonContinue reading
Gourmet in the Gardens
Have you been to Gourmet in the Gardens just yet? If not, you should! I just caught wind of it this week, and I’m so glad we went. :) Gorgeous sunny day, sprawling gardens, liveContinue reading
The Olde Creamery Cafe, Ohaupo
Gorgeous quaint cafe 15 minutes away from Hamilton City, with one of the prettiest outdoor dining areas I’ve ever dined in. Beautifully landscaped gardens, lush greenery, a gazebo and even an outdoors chess and checkersContinue reading
Goneburger, Hamilton East
My favourite burger joint in the Tron. :) They’re fairly expensive as far as burgers go, but the size and quality makes up for it – IMO they are almost as good as the extremelyContinue reading
Victoria St Bistro, Hamilton Central
We’ve heard plenty about Victoria St Bistro in the short few months we’ve been in Hamilton, but never got around to visiting until recently. We went in with very high expectations given all the accoladesContinue reading
Ming City, Hamilton Central
Ming City is one of those places where what you order really makes the difference between a great meal and a rather unimpressive one. We initially wrote this place off after trying it once whenContinue reading
Hamilton Gardens Cafe, Hamilton Gardens
Gorgeous surroundings, but the food and service was rather lacklustre. It’s a pity, really, because you would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful place for a cafe setting in Hamilton City – the gardensContinue reading
The District, Te Rapa
The District is one of my favourite cafes in the Tron – conveniently located, consistently good food, a wide range of teas (yep, I’m a tea drinker at heart, even though I don’t mind theContinue reading
