We had a great time at The French celebrating my friends birthday. The ambiance and decor is lovely. Our server Viktoria was attentive and knowledgeable, she went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. My friend has the steak frites cooked to perfection and I had the Duck Confit. Both dishes were amazing, my duck was a little dry but didn’t take away from the entire dish. Viktoria brought out a candle with the dessert which was very thoughtful and kind. We will definitely return, brunch is calling us!

Wonderful spot to have great service and great food. The restaurant decor is beautiful, and it's accompanied by an open kitchen concept. We had a great appetizer that had great presentation and a perfectly well done steak. To top it off, a wonderful delicious dessert. Well done The

We visited yesterday with another couple. I had the turkey club and a scone. It was amazing! Very friendly and attentive staff.
I was in Hamilton for a work conference. My boyfriend wanted to treat me to a fancy meal and we chose The French. So glad we did.Being from a small rural town fancy French dining isn't something we are use to. We sat at the chefs rail and had such a great time watching them cook meals right in front of us. The waitress explained any menu items we were unsure without judging. When he saw us watching meals being made so intently the chef chatted with us about what we were thinking of ordering. I went with the feature (scallops and ravioli in an amazing sauce) and my boyfriend went with the steak (baseball cut). We started with the sourdough bread which the chef personally served and explained to us (home made butter and foie Gras).Not only was the food amazing but watching that team work so well together always being polite to each other and moving around a small kitchen like a fine tuned machine with many moving parts! It takes more then lights and decor to set an atmosphere and the staff here has mastered it!We are so happy we decided to make an annual trip to Hamilton (2hrs) just to revisit The French!Thank you for an amazing night and amazing meal!Dietary restrictions: Waitress made sure to ask specifically if we had any restrictions and while sitting at the chefs rail heard them talking about how they picked all the onions out of the French onion soup for someone. Definitely put in all the efforts for people with restructions

Sunday BrunchWas visiting the Hamilton area and decided to stop into The French, it did not disappoint! The pictures and reviews online painted the perfect picture of what to expect; a beautiful downtown building, a cool-modern rustic vibe inside and flavour filled menu + friendly and attentive staff !Not pictured was the scone we had to start, the perfect savoury treat - a sun-dried tomato and cheddar (I believe) with house made butter … delicious!For mains, we had the duck confit waffles which had an excellent balance of sweet and savoury (the blueberries were so fresh) & the breakfast sandwich of the day with sausage. Both dishes were excellent but the worst part - and best - was being teased by all of the other dishes going by that looked phenomenal… guess we have to come back.
