"Planted in Hamilton doesn’t see dietary limitations as restrictions — they see them as an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with plants. Everything that is served at Planted in Hamilton is both vegan and gluten-free, making them the perfect spot for those with food sensitivities. Their regular menu offers a variety of shareables, salads, sandwiches, mains and sides."

"While most of us are self-isolating at home, it can be easy to say “screw it” and nosh on some junk food for lunch. Don’t get us wrong: we love our chips and chocolate too. But when your body needs a break and you want to switch it up to something both delicious and healthy, Planted in Hamilton has got you covered."

"The place is inconspicuous on the plaza it's on; we had to drive around twice before we saw it from the road...."

"The Hearty Hooligan does locally-sourced, from-scratch vegan cooking in their Ottawa Street cafe and bakery, and a tagline on their website says it all very simply: “keeping vegan trashy.”. That tagline is pretty fitting: one glance at their menu makes it clear that this ain’t your grandma’s vegan food. If you never thought you’d see fresh, thick & delicious pizza bagels or mac ‘n cheese burritos among a vegan restaurant’s offerings, then grab one of their signature cocktails or local craft beer selections and get ready to have your mind blown by The Hearty Hooligan."

"Known for carrying all vegan products, this Ottawa Street North store serves up some seriously good vegan ice cream. All of their ice cream is coconut milk based and made locally by Rudy’s. The flavours available at The Hearty Hooligan are always changing; the ice cream they serve depends on which ingredients are in season."

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"Democracy on Locke understands that dietary restrictions shouldn’t stand in the way of access to delicious, indulgent food. The coffee shop sells plenty of vegan and gluten-free goods, allowing a wider demographic to come in and enjoy their food. While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."

"Democracy on Locke is a proudly vegan and vegetarian friendly café. Located on Locke Street, Democracy is a great spot for friends to gather and grab a bite to eat. Democracy’s extensive menu is ever-evolving, making sure to always incorporate both fresh and local ingredients."

"Burgers, American Cuisine, Alcohol Served, Lunch Menu, Online Menu, Restaurant With Parking, Take-out. Come in and get 100% fresh and never frozen burger and fresh cut fries. We also have chicken burgers and fingers and veggie"

"Double patty, bacon, lettuce, onion, tomato and house sauce. Wife had hers on an available keto bun, which she excited about as it's a rare..."

"Their French-inspired cuisine can tantalise your tastebuds and make even the basic comfort food delectable. You can find sandwiches & wraps, salads, desserts, and various other dishes from light Moroccan Cous Cous to a hearty Shep’s Pie. Pre-order from here to celebrate Dad’s special day."

"That Planted Fork is offering a Mother’s Day Brunch this year. The menu includes scones, buns, your choice of eggs benny or blueberry french toast. You can either opt for a pick-up at the Hamilton Farmer’s Market on Saturday, May 8th or delivery on Sunday, May 9th."

"255 & 371 Concession Street Sam Lawrence Park, situated on the Mountain brow at the top of the Jolley Cut, is one of the jewels in Hamilton's park system. Its features include a rock garden with perennial flowers, ornamental benches and lighting, walkways (most of which are accessible), wildflowers and prairie grasses, and an extensive system of interpretive signs. The park also offers spectacular, panoramic views of the lower city and the harbour."

"Sam Lawrence Park offers up the most incredible skyline views of Hamilton, whether you’re visiting during the day or at night. It’s one of my favourite spots to visit in Hamilton – it’s a view you’d never get sick of looking at!. You can park right in front of the viewpoint, then take a little walk around to see the pretty florals and greenery surrounding the park."

"This park on the edge of the city’s escarpment or “Mountain Brow” offers a panoramic view of the entire lower city from east to west and north to Hamilton Harbour. Picnic among rock and wild flower gardens and prairie grasses."

"71 Cross Street, Dundas Dundas Driving Park is a popular sports park with several softball fields, a bandshell, swings, independent play equipment such as climbers and slides, a wading pool with spray pad, an accessible play structure, an outdoor ice rink, and sheltered picnic areas. Washrooms and parking is available."

"This sprawling park is a Dundas jewel, perfect for fun seekers and families. Work up an appetite strolling or rolling the trail that loops around the park, at the tennis court, lawn-bowling area, splash pad or playground. Then grab a sheltered picnic table or lay out a blanket under a mature tree."

"Just down the road close to Chedoke Falls was another waterfall we set our to see: Cliffview Falls. After realizing (once again) that it would be hard to see this one from the road area, we parked in Cliffview Park. This was free to park and a great idea because we ended up having a short break here."

"Borer’s Falls is a 49 foot (15 metre) waterfall that runs into Borer’s Creek which is a tributary that feeds the west pond of Cootes Paradise. It’s surrounded by lush, green trees and vegetation in the summer months and has a tremendous flow during the wetter months. It usually runs year round but can slow to just a trickle during drier times."

"Borer’s Falls, also known as Rock Chapel Falls, is a 15 metre (49 foot) high curtain waterfall, and its source is the Borer’s Creek. This waterfall used to power the Rock Chapel Village Sawmill. The sawmill was owned and operated by the Borer family, which is how the waterfall and creek got their names."

"A trek to see the waterfalls in Hamilton would be incomplete without Webster’s Falls. Standing at 22 metres tall in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, the classic plunge-style waterfall boasts one of the most beautiful vistas in the entire region. An easy walk takes you through some beautiful green space before you’re introduced to the rushing creek that plunges down over the edge and crashes into Spencer Creek."

"Webster’s Falls is another amazing waterfall in Dundas, Ontario. It is a 21 metre (72 foot) high classic curtain or plunge waterfall. Its water source is the Spencer Creek, which flows beneath a stone footbridge in the park before it plunges over the cliffs."
