My friend and I enjoyed a delicious, relaxed lunch at Bardo today. Service was impeccable, the food servings were generous and the taste was fresh. I had the tuna melt and arugula fennel salad. We found it quite expensive for lunch.

About the restaurant

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.

Outstanding! We wanted something with a great vibe to celebrate a special graduation for our son and we’re so happy this was our choice! The service was outstanding and they even went the extra mile with some special touches..,congratulations sign on table and very surprised when they brought sparkling wine to our table for us to toast…this gesture alone really made the night seem special. Everyone loved their meal. We were so impressed by everything this evening! Thank you! We will be back!
