Bridges is a new vegetarian restaurant, built on the
McMaster campus. The construction of this new
concept is, in part, a reaction to the growing dietary
trend among students and an effort to accommodate
a rapidly growing lifestyle. The restaurant possesses
a neo-retro feel, complete with high ceilings and
dynamic lighting. The menu encompasses many
distinguishable dishes, ranging from organic quinoa
in a tangy tomato reduction too vegetarian chili on flat bread, topped with drizzled balsamic glaze.
Affinity Vegetarian Restaurant
Oriental Vegetarian Cuisine and Buffet
87 John St. South
905-529-2598
Affinity was one of the first vegetarian restaurants in
Hamilton. Once inside, an overwhelming sense of
culture and mystique take over. While waiting to be
seated, it is easy to observe their collection of antique
tea pots as well as a variety of teas and spices. The
menu itself is quite extensive, ranging from an
assortment of appetizers to stirfrys. I do recommend
going with an appetite in order to enjoy as many
menu options as possible. Affinity hosts an
all-you-can-eat buffet that runs from Tuesday to Friday from Noon to 3:00pm.
