Hopestill Restaurant & Bar

My husband and I wanted to try a new place (somewhere we hadn't eaten before), and I stumbled on Hopestill Restaurant and Bar as I was looking through reviews of local places. There weren't many reviews, but something about the place just called out to me, so I made a reservation. I am so glad I did! We arrived to the restaurant on time and were seated promptly. The space is small--room for about 10 seated at tables and more at the bar. Very beautiful, simple, and clean interior. Service was perfect! Quite an accomplishment with (I believe) just 2 employees (the owners?)! There is a large cocktail menu and the restaurant features wines from their own winery. We tried the house vermouth and it was lovely--delicate and refreshing. The food menu is small, but everything we tasted was wond

We had dinner at Hopestill Restaurant this evening. We had a wonderful time.!The food was exquisite! The cocktails were perfectly prepared!The atmosphere was warm, cozy and friendly. This is a must visit for those with discerning taste and a desire to spend a special time with that someone special. It is a gem!!!

What a delightful new place to discover in Newmarket! Hopestill Restaurant features delicious, seasonal fare with a well curated wine and cocktail program. The owners are also winemakers, and the menu features their red and white varietals, along with a beautiful vermouth! The menu is limited based on availability of the freshest, quality ingredients. You can really taste the love and care the Chef puts into each dish. The atmosphere is cozy in the small charming space. Although walk ins are welcome, its always best to book in advance. The chef works alone and prepares each dish individually. This is a place to relax and enjoy, so a little patience will be rewarded with tasty and memorable cuisine. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledable, and hospitality was outstanding.

This place was absolutely incredible. Both the wine and food were amazing. I highly recommend coming to this place. It’s the perfect date night spot. The owners are the sweetest people ever. I will definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, perfect for both a casual dinner and a special occasion. The food was delicious, full of flavor and personality — every dish had its own unique touch. The drinks were another highlight: wonderful, creative, and packed with flavor, perfectly matching the restaurant’s concept. Although it’s a Portuguese restaurant, as a Brazilian I was pleasantly surprised to find dishes like caldo verde and bolinho de bacalhau, which made the experience even more special.
