The Lemon Tree - St. Catharines, Ontario

Stopped in for a late lunch with my better half. The Lemon Tree was very much a hidden gem we got the pleasure of experiencing. The happy hour cocktails were delicious and the food was flavorful, aromatic, and prepared with care. Neither of us are vegan but we both loved ... the chili poutine, the cauliflower wings, and the mushroom pizza. The portions are plentiful and our server was friendly, courteous, and attentive. This restaurant definitely deserved the 5 stars from us and we'll be coming back again. Read more

I was blown out of the water with the food here, it was unbelievably good. We had the mezze plate, and the dolmades which were amazing. We’d come on a recommendation from a friend - and neither the food, nor specifically the spicy feta, disappointed. This is one of those ... places where you’ll think about the food long after, and be planning your next trip back. In terms of service, our server was great! She was kind and helpful with the menu, and after made recommendations to us about the local parks/trails in the area (we took her up on the rockway conservation area) which was really nice. We were however sitting very near the kitchen and the restaurant was not busy when we were there. Some of the conversations overheard were not professional given that they were front of house and near to customers. Overall it’s a big restaurant, plenty of seating, and it’s going for that Mediterranean vibe without being in your face about it. It’s a fun, chill place with really great food. Read more

Great vegan food in the Niagara Region. Just off the QEW you’ll find this great spot for delicious and healthy food. Order for pickup or dine-in. There is a secret menu you can order from when in the restaurant. Clean and warm environment inside with a Mediterranean feel. Lots of parking available. Definitely give ... this place a try if you live nearby or are visiting the area. Read more

What a gem in St. Catherines! Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, cozy atmosphere and huge portions! I especially loved the portobello mushroom dinner and the baklava cheese cake (not too sweet and you can really taste the baklava)! Fun fact our server told us: the restaurant has been around ... for 9 years and transitioned to a vegan menu 5 years ago when the owners turned vegan! I respect the owners for aligning their business with their values (which I imagine isn’t always easy), without compromising taste and selection at all! 5 stars and highly recommend! Read more

My friend and I met up for lunch here today, and we were very happy with our experience! Our waitress was very lovely and let us know what the specials were for the day. She also described how a couple of the menu items were made, which was nice. The ... atmosphere in the restaurant was very calm and inviting. There's a water fountain right when you walk in, and the sound of water falling just added to the ambiance. The food was amazing and seasoned perfectly! We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, quiet place to have lunch/dinner! Read more
