This was our second time here! The menu changes and I love that so much. Something new to try every time! Definitely one of my... favorite restaurants. We had the duck breast and soft shell crab this time. Read more
We came her for my birthday dinner and was blown away with the food! Cute, cozy place and the service was great! The food was on... point, we started with the oysters then had the steak and duck. My expectations were met. The chefs here knew exactly how tocook a perfect duck. I would say this is a definite place to come to if you want to try food that is cooked with passion andlove! I'll definitely be back! Read more
Really awesome Canadian fare celebrated in a French bistro style. Reasonable prices for high quality. Good for dates or a... special occasion. Read more
This restaurant is so cute. It's small and cozy but not claustrophobic. The decor is tasteful, and the menu is delicious. I... would have eaten any dish on the menu. Some of my friends go here regularly and have tried many things on their rotating menuand have commented positively about the meals. Apparently, the gnocchi is the best around. Bon Temps has meals that are out ofthe ordinary, including duck and venison. The drinks are also really tasty. The only downside of this restaurant is the price.If you are looking for something casual and inexpensive, this isn't the place to go. But for a nice night out on the town, it'sworth it to stop by.

We had a great time here. The food was excellent and the cocktails were also great. We had the lobster wontons, the Brussels,... the charcuterie and the venison pie. We will be back again for sure! Read more
Went for a valentine day date. The ambience was cozy with excellent food. Ordered the charcuterie board, duck breast and rib... eye, all very delicious! We were even given complementary wine and a thoughtful rose for the occasion! The staff was verythoughtful and even gave a ganache desert on house as their famed creme brulee was not available. Loved watching the food beingcooked given the open kitchen. Would highly recommend this place for food and ambience. Read more
Quite possibly one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Had the scallops as an appetizer and the duck as a main. I highly... recommend both. I have told anyone who will listen to me to give this restaurant a try! Read more
A Slight DISAPPOINTING experience for me. Visited on Oct 23 after seeing great reviews, I had high expectations. Service: The... staff did an okay job. I didn't feel particularly welcomed. We made a reservation for the high table (only option available onopentable) and upon arrival I asked if we could sit at the bar, unfortunately they were all spoken for however the lady staff atthe bar was not very pleasant to speak to. (Came off as a little rude.) When we asked for a half portion Charcuterie board thestaff was accomodating. Throughout the night we had to seek the staff for service as they were not attending to our tableregularly. Food came out at a slower pace than I expected. Food: The Menu was priced higher than I expected, given it islocated in Hamilton. The prices were comparable to Downtown Toronto's Fine Dining options. $4 oysters is certainly pricedequivalent to Sofia in Yorkville, $42 Duck Breast I thought the food was good but not amazing, definitely not worth the price.Bon Temps is priced about 30% higher than they should be. Perhaps Hamilton locals are willing to pay the price premium becausethere's a lack of choice for modern French but this place won't survive in Toronto with this level of quality, service offeredat this price. The ventilation was horrible. It is an open kitchen and the fan was not powerful enough to take out the smoke.During out dinner my eyes were tearing from smoke and we came out of the restaurant smelling like food. I think with minorchanges they can turn this place around for a better experience. Please replace the kitchen ventilation system to a muchpowerful one. And always remember that a smile goes a long way. Best wishes. Read more
