Canadian Restaurants near Ancaster, ON

“I was at Ancaster Mill for a wedding last night and not only was it a beautiful venue but all of the staff was SO kind and helpful with my dietary restrictions - and the food was amazing! With my dietary restrictions I'm used to getting something very plain and tasteless when I'm out at events, but the food at Ancaster Mill was kind to my sensitive stomach and absolutely delicious!“

“I was in last week for dinner with my wife. We were super impressed with Charlie. His attitude and overall professionalism were great to see. We will definitely be back thanks to him. Usually I only send these things on a bad experience but keep up the GREAT WORK Charlie“

“Excellent service by Chantal. we had the Monday burger specials (again) and were not disappointed. Burgers were juicy and fries done perfectly. I definitely recommend this location. love the atmosphere and the comfy seating.“

“Saturday night was my first visit to HD and I have to say I was impressed. As a person who has known Dave for many years he has hit a home run here. The clientele, vibe and the service were exceptional. I don't drink anymore and the staff quickly pivoted to non alcohol options and even had booze-less Tequila. Will be back very soon“

“The services were amazing and the manager came to our table to say hi and make sure we were happy. Such a good chicken sandwich wow“

“I was recommended by a friend to have brunch at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the decor and ambiance immediately whisk you away times gone by and the moody lighting , different levels and unexpected twists and turns of the layout create a sense of mystery and intrigue. The service was pleasant, not at the level that the sense of place demanded . The food was good without being exceptional. That was an intriguing little private room that can be booked for meetings, and the large cupboard area at the back, which could easily be transformed into a wedding reception area or corporate event. Well worth visiting!“

“1st time there today, AMAZING ♥️♥️ highly recommend. Food was great, staff very friendly and the coffee...omg!“

“Kayla and her team at the MSA are amazing. As a former student and employee of Mohawk College, The Cellar continues to be the place to be on Campus for food, drinks as well as events! The Cellar continues to improve their menu year after year and in 2026, I must say I'm in love with their food and drink options. I can't wait to see what the Academic 2026-2027 Year has to offer“

“great service, convenient location, great restaurants, comfortable beds“

“Food is very tasty and healthy. I found 2 items that I could have just because of food allergies. The menu is quite varied and selection are very appealing. Burgers are real meat with no wheat fillers. Lot of food in each serving. Service is cafeteria style. Cashier was less than engaging. Place is very clean. Has lots of seating at tables of 4.

Room is nice and bright from one full wall of widows.“

“Start with fabulous food. Everything is prepped with love and don’t even start on the homemade desserts, chef’s kiss!It’s not just the food, it’s the people, the staff. Everyone is fab. We bring our little one that’s 10 for karaoke, she gets to stay until 9. No trouble, just welcoming lovely atmosphere. I love it there, as does my family. Thank you Tracie!“

“The best place for breakfast in Ontario bar none. Service is a treat“

“If it is out of beef balls, they should remove the beef noodle soup from the menu and acknowledge the consumers instead of serving without it and don't say anything.(update: everything's solved! Meatballs are back! They even cooked another one for me on another day when the noddle is undercooked with an extra meatball. Well done!)“

“Darrah and Rachel were AMAZING!!!!!! They gave us really helpful advice and gave us incredible tips about the menu that elevated our experience as customers and we had such a FANTASTIC night because of them!!!! Highly recommend to come and ask for Darrah as your server but also say hi to Rachel as a hostess because she’s amazing!!!“

“Highly recommended. So many options for food nearby but this one tops them all. I’ve been a regular customer at the Harbourfront location and would order there whenever visiting Toronto. I was ecstatic to see the Hamilton location opened near my place and my gym.

My only wish is that they had later, consistent hours. Sometimes, I’m at the nearby gym late and find that it has closed by the time I finish my workouts.

Bravo! — keep up the great service and cuisine.“
