Eat, drink and enjoy at these three can’t miss Hamilton cafes. They are not only dishing up the goods but completely conquering the cafe scene.
The Roxburgh
With a passion for coffee and a spirit for their community, The Roxburgh came to be. This family-run cafe is housed within an exquisite two-storey bluestone building and also spreads out into an adjoining laneway, affording customers ample dining options. The inside scene is that of opulence and comfort; plush couches to sink into whilst sipping on your latte, a crackling open fireplace to warm up in front of when the colder weather hits. The exterior is a hubbub in the warmer months when live music is regularly featured in the laneway.
And the food and drink! Let’s not forget that and you certainly won’t at the Roxburgh House. Their menu is laden with tastes and treats; decadent hot chocolates made with Lindt chocolate, house-made pizza topped with fresh and flavourful toppings, comforting tea brewed from T2’s extensive range, traditional toasties, lavish platters of cheeses and dips, a locally-embracing wine selection and so much more!
Thomsons Tavern
Pull up a seat at one of Hamilton’s most-loved dining destinations, where country hospitality meets modern comfort in the heart of town. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch, a hearty dinner or a place to unwind after a day of exploring the region, Thomsons Tavern offers a warm welcome for locals and visitors alike.
Inside, you’ll find inviting dining spaces and a friendly atmosphere that make it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The menu is packed with crowd-pleasing favourites, from perfectly cooked steaks and seafood sensations to fresh seasonal dishes and family-friendly options.
Complement your meal with a drink from the extensive bar, featuring local and Australian wines, tap beers, spirits and refreshing non-alcoholic selections. With great food, generous hospitality and a central location, Thomsons Tavern is a must-visit stop during your time in Hamilton.
Tosca Browns
Tosca Browns; renowned to the locals and loved by the visitors. Serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch on a daily with consistent excellence and flair. Their ever-changing menu adapts to not only the seasons but also the local produce availability. Tosca’s varietal menu will have you pondering with sweet anticipation as to what will be next; a wintery rice and quinoa porridge or a sensational coconut chia pudding. Other favourite food features have included (but certainly not limited to) mushies and polenta, creamy smashed avos, decadently stacked waffles, smoked eel croquettes, fried chicken bao buns, sweet potato fritters, middle eastern salad and so many more!
You can match your breakfast/brunch/lunch with a range of drinks; the always-pleasing coffee, fresh juices or feeling a little fancy, how about a glass of champagne or an espresso martini? Dine-in or opt for the outdoors with balcony, beer garden or courtyard areas offered.
