Y B I recently tried some amazing Mexican food, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced — every bite was full of taste and really satisfying. The dishes were well-prepared and fresh, capturing the true essence of Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, the dessert was just as impressive. It was the perfect sweet ending to a flavorful meal — rich, satisfying, and beautifully presented. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.

N A If you’ve ever been curious about this place - Go! From my very first date with my then fiancé to my wedding night last Saturday, the Diplomat has been unbelievably good. The service is top notch. Their servers take great pride and go great lengths to ensure every guest is satisfied. Dallas, our wedding point of contact was nothing short of amazing. She was attentive, responsive and helpful in the months/days before our wedding and on our wedding day, scooped my husband and I away moments before the ceremony to make sure we had a calm moment together. This set the entire pace of our wedding and is a moment we will never forget. Shout out to the female bartender at the French who hyped us up and gave us the kindest words of encouragement/advice! Our wedding was flawless, food was exceptional and all of our guests raved about their meal and how beautiful the atmosphere was inside the Diplomat. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

xing My partner and I had dinner here a few weeks ago for his birthday and we couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant. The ambience, the staff, the drinks and the FOOD were so incredible. We originally thought the portions were small but were surprised at how filling they were. The tartar was AMAZING and our favourite dish of the night. Our server was so also welcoming and attentive throughout the whole night. Will absolutely be back to try more!

Prasad Rao Amazing food. The brisket is to die for, just melts in your mouth like butter. Jerk chicken was great too. To top it all off the service as good as the food. To think of personalized service on a busy night is near impossible but everyone got the same. Our host’s energy was contagious. He made us feel as though we were with family. Definitely recommend. Fair warning go with a fully appetite, you’ll need it as they don’t hold back on the portions.

A “Annie” Spacious with lots of seating. Great place for a quick lunch with my son. The server was really nice and attentive. Some good lunch deals. My teen son got the meal for one; Spicy pork ramen, Tokyo fries, and a soft drink. The parking isn’t free around James street north but we found street parking east of John street. Highly recommend.

Arghya Basu We went to The French for Saturday brunch, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. We had a reservation, though it wasn’t overly busy — which made the atmosphere feel relaxed and unhurried. The ambiance is warm, elegant, and inviting. We were seated by a beautiful window, which made the whole brunch feel even more special. The beer selection was excellent. I had the A Hamilton IPA, which was crisp, refreshing, and paired perfectly with brunch. For food, we both ordered Benedicts — I went with the beef Benedict, and my wife chose the salmon. Both were outstanding. The poached eggs were perfectly done, the hollandaise was rich without being overwhelming, and the flavors were beautifully balanced. My herbed fingerlings were absolutely delicious — crisp on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned just right. My wife’s salad deserves special mention — it was just too good. Fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully put together. And then came dessert — the crème brûlée. Exquisite. Perfectly caramelized top with a silky smooth custard underneath. A flawless ending to a wonderful brunch. Highly recommend The French for a relaxed yet refined brunch experience in Hamilton. We’ll definitely be back.
