About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
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.

    The food on the new menu was all very flavourful. It was our first time on the patio and the atmosphere was nice. The only issue issue was I suspect understaffed for a Saturday night. It took a very long time in between courses of food and water was not refilled in a timely manner. Tuna, fry bed and broccoli were standouts. The lamb belly was poor value as there was very little lamb for a sharing dish.

    Hi Natalie, Thank you for joining us and giving our new menu a try. We are of course glad to hear that you enjoyed the new tastes; but sorry to hear of the service misses. Hopefully we can have you back and leave you with a better impression.

    Portion sizes are very small for the amount you spend. They wait staff encourage you to share dishes but for 5 people the dishes don’t really make sense like one pork chop or risotto or steak. Service was also poor. Took 45 mins to get out first dish and waitress forgot half the order.

    Hi Ian, Thank you for joining us. We really do wish that we left you with a better impression. We will be reaching out privately to hopefully continue the conversation.

    What a fabulous restaurant this is! Chat GBT suggested this when looking for a restaurant near First Ontario concert hall. Amazing decor and the food was fantastic!! Music gets another fabulous review - wish I could get the playlist!! Erin our waiter was lovely and helpful and made it a 10/10 evening!! Wish you were a little closer to Burlington - maybe open one there!!
