About this restaurant

SYNONYM is a cozy bistro restaurant in Hamilton. We have a special coffee bar, delicious food all day, and a selection of natural wine and beer. Our place is filled with warmth and charm, located in a bustling neighborhood.

We've got something for everyone, starting with our brunch menu inspired by Middle Eastern flavours available seven days a week from 8 am to 3 pm. Our signature dishes, Classic Shakshuka and French Toast, are crafted with love and care. We also offer a range of shareable treats, such as Hummus, Labneh, and Lemon Walnut Pesto.

As the day transitions into the evening, our dinner menu takes center stage 5 - 11 pm. You've got to try our Slow-Roasted Leak and Pan-Seared Shrimp—it's a hit among our awesome customers.

To complement your culinary journey, we proudly serve a selection of natural wines, handcrafted cocktails, and brewed beers. Join us at Synonym, where we invite you to savour the fusion of flavours, explore art, and become part of our lively community.

    The server/barista was the nicest human!! So kind and attentive. We had a wonderful experience. We both had the roasted veggie sandwiches, they were delicious! We will be back!
