Rise Above Restaurant & Bakery - St Catharines, Ontario

Impressive vegan menu that I had a hard time deciding what to eat. We got it to go so I went with the crunchwrap over the lasagna. There's quite a bit I'd like to try on the menu but unfortunately live 10 hours away. I got a crunchwrap with a side ... of mozz sticks. My wife had a seitan wrap with mac and cheese. We agreed the mac needed salt but wasn't bad. She really liked the mozz sticks. They were nice but definitely vegan cheese. I really liked my crunchwrap and she liked her wrap. The cookies were great, crispy and crumbly on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Good stuff! We couldn't find free parking so I dropped her off and she got the food. I swung by a bit later and picked her up. That was annoying but the town is just laid out that way, not their fault. Thanks for the delicious lunch! Would love to try something else if ever back in the area. Read more

Super nice place with nice art inside. The vegetarian menu was really, really good! I had the falafel bowl, while my wife had the watermelon poké. Both dishes were amazing and we especially recommend the watermelon poké. I also had a mimosa wheat beer that was recommended and that paired ... well with my dish. Read more
