If you feel like venturing further afield, try Beaumont Street in Hamilton. Recommendations are Sapori at Tailors for authentic Italian Pizza, Lord's espresso for great coffee and toasties, Lime cafe for fantastic Persian, and Kings XI for great quality and fresh Indian. Note: this location can get a bit rowdy late at night :)
