Savour Ontario Eats – Spotlight on Hamilton

Sweet treats aren’t the only thing The Parlour serves! The nostalgia is real with this classic dairy bar, from locally sourced ice cream by the scoop, in sundaes or in shakes, to your favorite diner classics like hotdogs, poutines, grilled cheese and funnel cakes served as many ways as you can count. Open daily for walk-in or online ordering.

With 4 locations across Hamilton, specializing in unique soups served alongside sandwiches, burgers, and frites, The Burnt Tongue is sure to have something for everyone. Much of their pride comes not only from their daily rotating menu (that’s up to 600 soups in one year!) but also from their ingredient sourcing. You can be sure that every item you order has been curated with freshness, seasonality and local in mind. Our favourites? Any soup paired with their cheesy French Onion Sandwich or Halloumi Burger - YUM!
