Living in Toronto, we are always intrigued by restaurants outside of the downtown core.  Whether it be brunch, sushi or even a pizzeria we are always on the look out for the “pot of gold” restaurants in both TO and in the ‘burbs!

Imagine our surprise, when we found Earth to Table Bread Bar …in Hamilton!  Not that I have low expectations for the Hammer, but I went to school there so all I really remember of it was student pubs and 24hr Tim Hortons.  I was impressed to hear that Earth to Table prides itself in using fresh and local ingredients.  Definitely have to check this place out at Brunch!

We ordered the Popeye and Classic Pepperoni pizzas (gobbled up too quickly to photograph!) as well as Calamari and loaded Bruschetta.

The owners actually wrote a cookbook and they call the resto an extension of the cookbook (what a cool concept!)

And of course, the obligatory restaurant shots.  Loved the relaxed vibe…

Last but not least – My homemade cookie ice cream sandwich.  It was so decadent – so glad I shared it with the Hubz!!
