The Lemon Tree in St. Catharines

Good food, and excellent service. My favorite menu items are the Dolmades, the fries, and the pizzas. Vegetarian options: The entire menu is vegan.

If youre vegan - or even vegetarian like me - this should be your go-to first choice in Niagara. We LOVE it and so will you :)

Every single dish is amazing. The best vegan food and really great portion sizes. You have to try the calamari and the coconut shrimp.

Best vegan! Local gem! Most friendly staff and amazing house made desserts

I went there with my vegan daughter. I got shrimp alfredo fettuccine and I couldnt believe these werent real shrimps. The food was amazing and the portion was generous. I savoured some decent leftover quantity at home.

The best vegan restaurant in the Niagara Region!

One of the best restaurants we ve been to. Amazing food, lots of choices, very filling and the wait staff are awesome! Kid-friendliness: Our daughter enjoys her meals and atmosphere Wheelchair accessibility: No issues whatsoever with accessibility for me but front door can be heavy for me.

Dietary restrictions: No onion, no garlic Food

Been wanting to stop here for so long and today we did. It was amazing. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, great food and fair prices. Everything was yummy. My daughter and I had the 7 layer greek dip as an appetizer. Oh wow, felt like I was in Europe again. This was so good. We then shared the mushroom pizza. I dont think Ive ever tasted a pizza so good. Great dessert menu with baklava and other yummy treats. Would highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant.

This is my favourite restaurant in Canada and possibly the entire world! Luckily I only have to drive 40 minutes each time I want to visit. Every thing on the expansive menu is excellent, the eggplant sandwich being a particular favourite. There s a dish for everyone to fall in love with!

Amazing place. Food is fantastic. Service is great. Able to accomodate dietary restrictions and allergies. Take out and dine-in both great. Always look forward to coming here, one of the best restaurants, hands-down. Extensive menu. A great oasis for vegetarian, vegans, and those with allergies. Dietary restrictions: Can accomodate allergies well Kid-friendliness: Good for kids Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

The food was okay, mashroom burger was soo grease and stuffing was to much. Falafel was very soft (feels like half uncooked). And fettuccine Alfredo doesnt have any sauce, it was very dry.

Kayla was a wonderful friendly waitress. Made our visit even better. We were there for over three hours, enjoyed a mocktail, lunch and dessert, and conversation with Kayla! Vegetarian options: Large selection and ability to adapt dishes with no problem! I am not vegetarian/vegan nor any dietary restrictions and I thought everything was delicious!

Lemon Tree in St. Catharines is an absolute gem for vegans and anyone who appreciates fresh, flavorful food! Just a 10-minute drive from the US-Canada border, it s the perfect spot for a delicious plant-based meal if you re in the area. The menu is diverse, offering everything from hearty bowls to creative appetizers and desserts that are to die for. The ingredients are always fresh, and the dishes are beautifully presented. The staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Whether you re vegan or just looking to try something new, Lemon Tree is a must-visit! Highly recommend this spot for a casual lunch, dinner, or even takeout. Will definitely be returning! Vegetarian options: Everything is just perfect.

I ate falafel pita wrap but the falafel was soft like uncooked inside. Very disappointed

We were a group of 18 people and we had a we enjoyed the food!

Simply delicious vegan food!

Phenomenal! The food was excellent. Vegan tzatziki and gluten-free pita! Amazing! The server knew the food and just seemed to enjoy being there and welcoming people. We were able to get in with a wheelchair though there was no button on the outside. Bring a friend or call and I am sure they would help :) We did not see if the bathroom was accessible.

All the food here is very tasty and fresh. Tried the spinach dip, chicken drumsticks, cauliflower wings, mezze platter, calamari, and coffee cheesecake. The falafel was not very tasty and consistency was mushy.

i ve been going to lemon tree for years and it s the main reason i m putting off moving. it s the best mediterranean food I ve ever had. No actually best food i ve ever had period. i go here for every special occasion. the staff is very friendly and remember me when i come in. all vegan and inclusive. everyone i bring here loves it. LEMON TREE FOREVER

Excellent place for a meal! Great food and helpful, friendly staff. Go and enjoy!

Very pleasant experience. Beyond steak was as expected as it is molded using beyond ground meat. I wouldnt get it again though not a fan of beyond ground meat flavor. The presentation was lovely and waitress was very kind. The caesar salad and calamari was great, althouhh the calimari was very small for the price. Cauliflower wings were ok.

We recently went to this place for dinner. The ambiance is nice, service was good. We had hot Mezze platter which was good except the falafel balls ( tiny and disappointing taste ). The falafel in the falafel dinner was also very disappointing given that this is a mediterranean restaurant. The falafel didnt taste anything like a falafel. The mushroom dinner was good and the portions were generous.

Great spot and really delicious vegan dishes. I loved the eggplant sandwich and the limoncello cheesecake was to die for

Excellent food, and Im not Vegan by a long shot. Will definitely be back!

Cauliflower wings were incredible, all the food we had was so good!

Vegetarian options: Great place for 100% vegan food that is not just veggie burger and fries. Food was awesome! Food

The lemon tree is such a joy for its variety of vegan options! There were so many vegan proteins especially, and it was nice to share the hot mezze platter. The seasonings & textures weren t always 100% - sometimes too salty or somethings missing some spice - but I was quite happy to have somewhere where our party could eat healthy & yummy food in St. Catharines. Their Moscow Mule is really good, too. Vegetarian options: Vegan options

Excellent service. Great food, fresh and healthy

Brought out of town guests. They were impressed. Waitress was very knowledgeable about menu items and able to make suggestions for dietary restrictions. Dietary restrictions: Offer soy free, gluten free and nut free options Parking: Lots of free parking Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

LOVE Good food, lovely service All the food is Vegan imitation, but so realistic! The only thing I had that was not realistic was the chicken drumsticks. Loved the Chicken Parm Cheese is so realistic tooooo Cannot recommend enough!

Great food and excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Vegan menu, the whole menu is vegetarian friendly! Parking: Lots of parking spots available and there is a huge lot.

My absolute favourite place to eat best vegan food ever

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 well be coming back again.

One of best vegan restaurants I have been to. The food, service and atmosphere were amazing! Even non-vegans would love the food. We will return for multiple visits and bring family. Vegetarian options: 100% Vegan menu

Its a unique concept. Post eating the food, I didnt feel good.

Amazing!

I always order the buffalo drumsticks and they were as amazing as always and I ordered the special which was the mushroom pasta and omg it was DELICIOUS I would love to see that a regular on the secret menu We drive from Burlington to go here and trust me, its worth the drive.

Ashley was amazing and had good recommendations!

Better than we expected for a strip plaza restaurant. My falafel was overcooked but not bad and my wifes was better. There are a decent number of items that were gluten free and vegan so its a good place to go if either of those are a concern. The prices are ok but lunch for my wife and I cost nearly $90 all up Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are available

We are a picky crew. Our 10 year old son told us it is a 10 star! We are here on a hockey tournament and chose this restaurant between games for lunch. The food is refreshingly flavorful and fantastic ! Even if you aren t a vegan, give it a shot. You Won t be disappointed!!

Food and service was great.

I didnt realize it was a totally vegan restaurant. Truthfully I would have avoided it if I had known. That being said, it was so good! The food was amazing , our server was beyond sweet and the prices are very reasonable. They even make their own vegan cheese! Id recommend it.

Quite impressed with the attention to detail when it comes to food allergies! My son really enjoyed his mushroom burger.

Amazing food, great cocktails at happy hour. Their mushroom fries are just a better poutine, and food came super quick. An amazing find and our new date spot.

We sat down at our table upon entering and waited 10 minutes to get menus or even acknowledged. Tables were littered & the waitress was lazy. Every time she went to the kitchen she was empty-handed BUT the tables were filthy! The waitress offered me a beer she d take 10 minutes to get it because she was too busy being a chatty Cathy with other customers. The place was practically empty (maybe 6 people inside) & no excuse for lousy service. $75+ for lunch in a cheap diner setting. Greek salad had WAY too much oil. The Chicken Parm Supreme was breaded chicken with sauce on a bun! Pfff seriously?! Food is not worth the price. The Margarita Pizza is NOT named correctly! I don t know who made this menu but their version of this pizza should be named something else. Maybe doughy pesto sun-dried tomato !

Absolutely loved this place! Were rarely in St. Catherines, but always try to check out vegan spots in town when were there. So glad we did! Their lasagna soup will change your life. The artichoke and spinach dip is ridiculous, too!

Great spot and service was amazing. Atmosphere is nice. Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan and I believe they work with you on other dietary restrictions. Food : 5/5 |

Awesome Vegan food. Definitely going back next time Im in the area. The server was very friendly

Good server, but she was the only one working. Food was good, but a bit bland. The variety was nice

excellent service!

Vegetarian options: Plant based menu Food

Food was amazing and so was Kylo!

An absolute must try vegan restaurant - even if you re not a vegan! Food was amazing and the portions were great!

First time. Great experience. Server was awesome, food is great

Delicious vegan and gluten free options!! I ordered the Greek salad and Mezze platter, which was safe for me to eat as a celiac. Highly recommend. Food : 5/5

I couldn t believe it was vegan!!!

My family and I went there to celebrate my moms birthday and the food was so good, I got the chicken wrap and ceaser salad. My mom and I have not stopped thinking about that ceaser salad since. The cheesecake was also a delicious treat. I just wish I could get a party size ceaser salad, as well as buy a full size cheesecake. My mom and I are going to be making a special trip to St. Catharines just to go for lunch. I highly recommend this place. Also the staff, really are so pleasant, friendly and extremely helpful.

This is a must visit if you re in St. Catherines. Everything is so flavourful and fresh. We loved the margherita pizza and baklava cheesecake . It s kid friendly and a very positive ambience with lots of plants .. love it

Food was fantastic! Newly soy and dairy free, and finding a place that I can eat at isnt always easy; it was amazing that they provided a soy free menu too! Our server was kind, very upbeat and friendly! I cant wait to go back! We also dont drink and tried their mocktails and they were great! Dietary restrictions: Dairy and soy free options!

Amazing restaurant ! Have seen it here for a while but never got a chance to try it until today ! Me, my fiancé and our friend all really enjoyed our food and our server Kayla was very lovely as well! We will absolutely be back!

The food was well priced and delicious, and the service was super friendly!

Love this place, amazing food, really great and attentive staff. We drive from Hamilton to go there, totally worth it. Vegetarian options: All food is vegan Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options, non-veggies will love it too

Food is always fantastic. You can t even tell it s vegan. Wear a Tshirt - the restaurant is always HOT inside lol.

Food was amazing...one of the vegan restaurants we have visited. We loved the vegetarian burger with the mushroom as the meat.

Good tasting food, but beware of ALLERGENS if you have any! Common allergens (nuts, soy, etc) are NOT clearly listed/stated for each menu item. We enjoyed the atmosphere & taste of our food, but my boyfriend had to go to the pharmacy after our visit for expensive medication due to lack of clarity. I understand the restaurant may have some fine print about asking about allergens, but it s not the safest practice! When we are just passing through town for a quick meal & looking quickly at menus/signs, I see some mentions of vegan options, but when menus items are labelled as chicken or cheese , I m assuming they are offering other options too! If they insist on a non-detailed menu, safer practice would be to greet the customers upon arrival, Welcome, have you been to our restaurant before? , & if not, Just want to let you know our establishment is ENTIRELY vegan, & menu options labeled as animal-based products are actually other ingredients, so please let us know if you have any allergies! Again, I really liked the vegan meals & really like that they are making great dishes as vegan versions, but this needs to be very clear! (Don t expect people to be reading fine print or understanding every dish- type it out, or tell them!)

The spinach dip is my all time fav and keeps me coming back. We also usually get the pizzas. Lovely little vegan reso. Dietary restrictions: Fully vegan :)

Our server was excellent . Very knowledgeable about the menus . The vegan steak was delicious. Highly recommend .

We ve been here a few times and love it each time. Everything we ve tried has had such a great taste and the portions are filling.

The food was great and service was very quick and very friendly even though there was just one server! Kyla was very pleasant and super helpful with the menu. The buffalo fries were very good, the dips (tzatziki and spinach/artichoke dip) were fantastic. Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: All vegan Dietary restrictions: Vegan

Stopped in to grab some lunch, friendly staff and great service. Tell anyone that listen what a great place it is.

It s an all around great restaurant. Love when they have vegan Oreo cheesecake for dessert!

A Great place for vegetarian food options.

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. Parking: Lots of parking that is very close.

A Hidden GEM ! Polite staff, portions are good... DONT try their desserts !!! Cause they are TOOO YUMMY !!!! Food

Forget about the food. And by that, I mean you dont even have to think about it. Its all great, and theres a dish with YOUR NAME ON IT, just waiting for you to rave about it. Now, heres the part (almost) no one knows about The Tree... a buddy of mine borrowed an air quality monitor from the Library of Things and checked out their interior air at the restaurant. ACES!! Best air in town. Breathe in comfort while you dine in style. Who knew? Go. Now. Well, when they open. Vegetarian options: Very... Vegan... Vriendly!

Honestly amazing! Been to the Lemon Tree dozens of times and I ve never been disappointed. Staff goes above and beyond to cater to you whether it s calling for take-out 5 minutes before they close and they still make you a delicious chicken wrap. Or a drink being slightly less sweet than you like and they gladly offer to add some maple syrup to it! My favourite restaurant in Niagara! Vegetarian options: Vegan & plant based

Appetizers/desserts are good. Main food is over priced and everything tastes acidic. Would go just for apps/dessert, food is v disappointing.

My daughter and I had dinner here last night for her birthday. The service was outstanding by Summer. She is so genuinely nice! She makes dining a pleasure! The food absolutely delicious! Im keto so I had their flying Dutchman dinner with Cesar salad. That was fantastic! And my daughter had the chicken parm with mushroom fries which she loved as well. They kindly gave her a baklava courtesy for her birthday which was special and of course took cheesecake to go. Cheesecake is out of this world. You would never know this restaurant is vegan. You must try this place. Definitely more than 5 stars!

Im not a vegan, but the food is great and a nice change From regular pace. Always amazed at what come out of this kitchen and everything is plat based. Food

Service is terrible! Ive been many times and service is always slow. I only return for the baklava. Food is ok. Pasta and rice were bland. But the proteins are worth trying, not that they make them inhouse. If I ever eat here again itll be take out (baklava).

We stopped here unexpectedly for lunch and it was awesome! So delicious! We had the mushroom melt sandwich and the crispy eggplant sandwich. Baklava for dessert. Ashley was a superb server. OMG, everything was so yummy!

Great food, friendly staff!

So amazing, everything tastes wonderful that weve tried! And the waitresses are super friendly and great with their recommendations! My wife and Is go to spot for date night, or lunch too!! Vegetarian options: I find their chicken burgers and wraps taste better than anyone elses. So tasty and delicious every time!

The best vegan food in Niagara! Great specials and friendly service. The white sangria was very tasty.

Wonderful Mediterranean-themed vegan restaurant. Kid-friendly, super tasty, excellent staff.

Really good food!

We were looking for a vegetarian restaurant and this fit the bill with a lot of vegan options. The layout is very green with the ceiling being covered green panels. The staff was very friendly and made some great suggestions. The food was delicious and very light. Each of the items had its own unique flavor. Would recommend to all in the area Vegetarian options: Lots of options

Loved the veggie food. Thank you for the Birthday Baclavva loved the atmosphere, Very nice staff. Very friendly and kind. Warmest to all for 2023

Simply outstanding! From the moment of walking into this spotlessly clean restaurant, hearing the soothing fountain, to the table decor and the live plants, we were charmed from the start. The vegan food didnt disappoint. Although full from our Cauilflower Buffalo Bites, our entrees - Portobello Burger, Spinach/Feta Burke, and the amazing Caeser Salad we made a point to enjoy the Lemoncello Cheese. Absolutely everything was excellent. And thanks to our server Brooke who helpled us navigate the extensive menu. Well done folks well be back!

Great place with amazing plant based food. Everything was delicious, highly recommended.

My favourite vegan restaurant in St Catharine s and possibly the entire region! Can t recommend this place enough. The globetrotter dessert is soooo good.

My wife, my brother in law and I, approached this gem of a restaurant while in St. Catharines, Ontario, The Lemon Tree The Lemon Tree is a highly inviting, colourful and carefully decorated establishment. We were attended by Summer, our wonderful waitress who made our visit unforgettable. This is a 100% vegetarian restaurant, so do not get confused by foods listed, such as Calamari, chicken, etc. The restaurant has a days special meal(s) and desert(s) menu, so, if you do not see it, ask your attendant. My main dish came from the unwritten days specials. In addition to the main dish, it included a salad with it and a Pumpkin-cheesecake desert. All I ate here, was delicious . I ordered the two chicken breasts with mashed potatoes and Greek salad. The portions were very nicely presented and healthy, both in nutrition and size. I was totally impressed . My wife had the Caesar salad, which I had most of it, and she had my Greek salad instead. My brother in law, ordered the Falafel wrap and loved it as well. It is a bit rare to find a restaurant with so much caring, class, great food, top service, lots of outside light through the windows, a good room temperature and affordable prices. Please do not hesitate in thinking twice. This is a must do while you are in St. Catharines. The place is spacious, located in a plaza, so it provides lots of free parking. Surely, recommendations can always be made about anything, but this is your destination, if you are looking for a delightful time and abundant tasteful nourishment, that you will surely enjoy. The day we were there, there was a 92 yr old lady with all her senses and physical intact. I only wish to be in such great health as she was, the day of our visit. If this lady chose The Lemon Tree restaurant out of no mere coincidence, I think, this says it all. Thank you to the owners, family and Summer, our waitress, for a great experience

Great food, great service , friendly waitress

OMG...ALWAYS THE BEST VEGAN FOOD, enjoyed our lunch to the nth degree. SAVE room for the delicious Baklava Cheesecake or should I keep as a secret....thanks Lemon Tree

One the best Vegan place around. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Loved the Baklava Cheese cake.

Great menu with something for everyone. Loved the chickn and mushroom sandwich..and great meatballs!

The food was soooo delicious !!! I just wish Id had room for desert - next time for sure. Thanks for the GREAT service

A wonderful surprise! Delicious food in generous portions, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere.

My First time at the Lemon Tree!! I started with fries that I shared! So good!! My lunch was stuffed mushrooms, rice and potatoes. Feta Salad With GFREE PITAS. THE FOOD was so tasty and a great flavour perfectly cooked. Every mouthful was an experience, then we decided to try dessert.We both had the Gf chocolate balls filled with nuts an Ooey Gooey texture and drizzled with melted dark chocolate. OH my Gosh Loved it! The waitress was so helpful and sure knew the menu well, she was great. I will definitely return!! My Compliments to the Chef! Best part, my tummy loved it all with no issues, that made me so happy! I m Gluten free and dairy free. Thank you Lemon Tree Vegetarian options: The food and flavours surprised me very much as I m not vegan or vegetarian but all our food choices were so delicious, helps me know that I want to eat more like this!! Thanks Dietary restrictions: I have gluten and dairy issues that normally cause me lots of issues, this food all agreed with my tummy. Thanks

Food and service is always good !

Finally had the opportunity to order from here this past weekend. What better way to spend lockdown than trying new places? 1. I love that the person taking my order asked those prepping it how long it would take based on what my order was, it literally arrived as it was coming out of the kitchen. 2. Very friendly and polite when I picked up my order 3. I had the chicken wrap with Greek salad and my partner had the Caesar with Bruschetta- exclaimed youd never know it was vegan (ringing endorsement in this house) 4. Very reasonably priced, especially given the size of the portion. 5. Take out containers were a recyclable material, not styrofoam 6. We were both thoroughly impressed, and stuffed. Cannot wait to try it in restaurant when things get back to normal 7. The cheesecake looked *amazing* and though we did not try, we shall! 8. The 4 is based on a first time experience, not enough exposure to the menu to give more than that, but man it was good!

The best vegan restaurant in the Niagara Region! Awesome selection of food and theyre very accommodating with substitutions for the entrees! Always friendly staff and Ive never had a bad experience here with food or service.

Unreal happy hour!

Okay- so this place was so worth it. Fast service, delicious food and all vegan! Cocktails were also amazing- lots of options and you can even do a flight of cocktails. Server was attentive and very nice, would come again (and will a bunch more times) such a great local find.

Its my favorite vegan restaurant!

I heard about this cute little restaurant through the grapevine and visited today for the first time. I was blown away by the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. I had the artichoke dip with gluten free pitas, the and the veggie burger with Greek salad. It was absolutely the BEST burger I have EVER had! My hubby who isn t vegan even liked his pizza. We will be coming back for sure. You definitely should come visit this little gem. If I could give more stars, I would.

On our way home from visiting clients in Niagara Falls, our vegan clients suggested The Lemon Tree in St. Catharines for lunch. The greenery and lighting set the ambiance and tone for a delightful meal. We shared the Hot Mezze appetizer platter (chicken drumsticks, steak bites, coconut shrimp, calamari, and falafel), which were all excellent, and were served a fresh basket or homemade warm pita wedes that paired nicely with the tzatkziki sauce included in the platter. The steak bites had a bit of a spicy kick, and it was hard to decide if my favourite was the falafel or calamari. Be sure to check for the secret menu! I ordered the stuffed portobello, stuffed with an artichoke and cheese sauce that was mouthwatering! Other entrees enjoyed by our group were the portobello burger, falafel wrap, Beyond Steak entree, veggie stir fry and Veggie Burger, consisting of sliced portobello mushrooms and sautéed peppers. All entries came with salads and either fries or potatoes and rice. Generous portions meant some of us were lucky to have leftovers to take home! All the meals were excellent, but my friend who ordered the steak mentioned it being a bit strongly seasoned. We finished off with baklava cheesecake. While I enjoyed the baklava, the cheesecake made with coconut cream seemed a bit hard or frozen, and was a bit sweet for my taste. There was a good selection of wines, alcoholic beverages and coffee/teas. Great and attentive service was much appreciated! Convenient parking and right off the highway. Will definitely return when in the area. Vegetarian options: Vegan options that were so tasty that meat lovers can definitely enjoy all of these plant based options!

This is my favourite restaurant! I absolutely love their Mediterranean cuisine! Not to mention their homemade dressings and cheeses I get tubs to go and eat them by the spoonful!!

Delicious food and all vegan, lots of variety, sizable portions, great service and ambience! Summer went out of her way to make our experience better.

Pleasant atmosphere. Clean. Delicious food. Generous portions. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of free parking. Great place to go to with friends or family.

Visited here on a whim and do not regret it! It s always so nice to find a vegetarian place and even more lovely finding such a tasty one! Menu is all vegan, mostly Mediterranean style (the have their own homemade vegan tzatziki for instance). I had an absolutely enormous (leftovers for three very welcome days on my end) maze platter, for those wanting something hearty there s plenty of other mains like veggie burgers, grilled chicken , some steak and various fried seafoods. My sister got some buffalo drumsticks, and mum the veggie burger. All of this was delicious. Thank you for being here and creating such nice vegan food.

Imaginative, tasty vegetarian menu. Bright and airy. Friendly staff. Highly recommended, even for non-vegetarians. **Update** 07/04/23 The restaurant is no longer vegetarian but does have vegetarian options. They have renovated in the last year and the atmosphere is delightful. I had a veggie wrap that was loaded with fresh veggies, and a side of fries that were delicious and hand cut. My friend had a Greek salad (theres an option to add chicken or falafel) that she said was excellent. To sum up: I highly recommend The Lemon Tree and will definitely be returning.

I recently stopped by Lemon Tree, a vegan Mediterranean restaurant, to try out some of their desserts. I have to say, I was blown away by the explosive flavors of the baklava, baklava cake, and truffle ball. Each one had a unique flavor that was both satisfying and delicious. The baklava was the perfect blend of sweet and nutty, with flaky layers that melted in my mouth. The baklava cake had a soft and moist texture, with a rich and buttery taste that made it hard to resist. The truffle ball was the perfect ending to my meal, with a smooth and creamy center that was bursting with flavor. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also fantastic. Its cozy and intimate, making it a great spot for a date night or catching up with friends. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. I cant wait to come back to Lemon Tree and try out some of their main dishes. If theyre anything like the desserts, I know I wont be disappointed. The quality of the food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!

I found this place because of Edible Options beside them. I had messaged the Lemon Tree on Instagram to ask when their happy hour menu started and they went above and beyond with responding to me. They sent me pictures of the menus and let me know the dates and times that happy hour is open for. My friend and I went here the next day, on Friday afternoon. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious. It is a bit pricey but I can understand as it s a fully vegan restaurant. We had the hummus (probably my fav because it tastes like a falafel in dip form), red pepper hummus, spicy feta dip (this wasn t spicy at all in my opinion but wonderful to taste). The pitas are buttery and garlicky which was really great with the mix of foods. The drinks were really good and they have a huge selection to choose from if you pick the flight. I really enjoyed my time and am definitely going to come back!!

I have had many dishes here and they are all good. I especially like the Caesar salad and the burgers. Pizzas, pastas and soups also delicious. The desserts are all scrumptious too.

Delicious, super fresh food with a great atmosphere and nice staff. I highly recommend this restaurant to vegans and non-vegans looking for an excellent dine-in experience

Im not vegan but I enjoyed it.

Our new favourite spot when visiting family in St Catharines! Everything we ve tried has been delicious, and the service is always very attentive and friendly. My partner and I are vegan, and our non-vegan family are always just as impressed with the food as we are. Thanks for showing how delicious plant based food can be!

It was the first time I tried an entirely vegan restaurant. I was taken aback by how flavorful and healthy the food was. The service was great and got us the vegan steak (dinner option) in lunch. This is much appreciated. Must tried- Mezza Platter, Vegan Steak, chicken Wrap, Falafel Wrap.

As a non-vegan the food was the most accurate to actual animal-food while being healthy and delicious. The chef is an artist. Great ambiance, charismatic waitress. Delicious Mezza Platter and Vegan steak.

Best value, best food, fun drinks, patio and great staff and atmosphere. We order regularly and I love that there are SO many amazing options. Usually my favourite spots have one or two dishes I enjoy A LOT. The lemon tree has me scratching my head, unable to decide, every visit. Then we order way more than we intend to and have leftovers because we can t NOT order our staple items. Spicy feta, spinach dip, cauliflower wings, shrimp, chicken drummies are all amazing. Even my omni, picky husband is happy to eat here any day. Loves the beyond sub. Always consistent and I m just so happy this place exists.

Lemon Tree is our family s favourite vegan restaurant. We have dined in many times over the years and often drive from the Grimsby area for takeout as well. The food is fantastic and the owner and staff are all super friendly and always attentive with drinks or an extra order of tzatziki (it is that good!). The cocktail list has many delicious choices and they have just added a mocktail menu which is a big hit with our family. We have introduced family and friends (who are not vegan) to Lemon Tree as well and everyone always raves about it. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and friendly service!

Such a cute place that has no guilt attached, food was on point, friendly, very clean!!! Definitely need to go a few times to try different items, so far 2 visits and everything was yummy!

Didn t have any meat though

Food was good but I was surprised the menu still listed items as meat. Very misleading

The food is fantastic and portions are very good. The price is reasonable and allot of selection. I will definitely be back!!! Well done LemonTree team!! Food : 5/5

Went here for the first time with high expectations and was not disappointed! Make sure to scan the secret menu, its almost as big as the regular menu. I had the chicken drumsticks and they were phenomenal. We split mushroom fries (pictured) between the three of us and they went quick! Service was excellent and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu and had patience with us as we made our decision. They easily split our bill with us ordering three separate entrees and sharing an appetizer. I definitely plan to return and hope to try their desserts next. Vegetarian options: This restaurant is 100% vegan which means that every dish is also 100% vegetarian.

The Lemon Tree Bistro is an amazing and wonderful restaurant for anyone, whether you are vegan, vegetarian, a flexetarian, a carnivore, or anything in-between. They have a wide variety of yummy food options, including a childrens menu! Everything they make is fresh and delicious. You can tell they put real love and thought into everything they create. The atmosphere is also amazing, as is their personable and friendly service! I highly recommend giving The Lemon Tree Bistro a try!

The falafel wrap was so good! Their Pita is so fresh and perfect We tried the cauliflower wings which were on the sweeter end Amazing options for vegan food. The chicken replacements are soy, incase anyone is curious

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan Dietary restrictions: Everything is vegan, and the dietary allergies are labeled Food : 5/5 |

Got the Meditarean burger with fries. It was great. I could only eat half at one sitting. Yummy.

Still one of my favourite places to get food. My go-to is the burek and greek salad. I love the pitas and dip too. Food is excellent and service is great

I m still dreaming of the beyond meat steak dinner . So so good ! Can t wait to come back to try more.

My absolute favourite restaurant in the Niagara region. Delicious vegan food with great service and relaxing atmosphere. 10/10

Amazing vegan food. Their hot mezze plate and the chicken and mushroom dinners are delicious. They also have the best tzatziki sauce and pita. Vegetarian options: Fully vegan restaurant

Absolutely amazing plant based food. We literally always want to order everything from the menu as all the dishes we try are so delicious. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful and the owner and staff team are super friendly. One of our favorite restaurants.

The food and service here was incredible. Id heard wonderful things about this place for a long time and I finally got to spend a memorable meal with a friend tonight. Best vegan food Ive ever had, hands down. They have great drinks too.

Great food and vibe!

Excellent service. Food awesome

Loved it. Best meal in a long time. Server was friendly and food delish. Desserts were the best... Baklavah cheesecake! I can die now.

First time visiting, for a weekday lunch had a few hiccups. The restaurant followed up promptly. The lunch was absolutely delicious! The Burek lunch pictured here is amazing!!! -wonderful with the salad! New staff are training. Service was a bit inconsistent at first, it s a seat yourself place. I m very disappointed to say I got a dessert to-go order of lemon cheesecake and a dish of take home tzatziki dip and the tzatziki container was not packed properly or separated from the dessert. It spilled all over and soaked my lemon cheesecake cakes. $18 worth of cheesecake ruined by improper packaging. Very sad to say .I really wish it could have been a better first experience. But I will be back to give it another try!

Cute restaurant with lots of variety and an all vegan menu. Surprisingly robust desert selection for a vegan restaurant as well as reasonable prices!

A very good vegan restaurant in a strip mall area. Quite unexpected, but it was a very pleasant atmosphere inside, with friendly service. The food was all delicious and their mocktails are tasty too. Vegan or not, you will not be disappointed. I am not vegan or even vegetarian, but if all vegan food were like this I would jump ship. Highly recommended!!! Vegetarian options: All menu items are 100% vegan, despite the use of terms such as chicken. Their version of mock meat products are really exceptional. Delicious and the textures are uncanny. Best vegan cheese I have ever tasted.

Delicious food with great service. Portions and prices are reasonable.

Yummy meal, mostly vegan but they offer a chicken wrap for non-vegans. Clean restaurant, small outdoor patio, friendly staff!

Lots of vegan choices in Greek style offerings. All that we had was very fresh and full of flavour.

Been to lemon tree a few times for takeout and also dine-in dinner with family. Their food is delicious, we have tried a bunch of menu items and all of them were great. Bonus that they also have house-made vegan feta for sale which tastes great compared to other store-bought vegan feta I have tried.

Great Mediterranean *Vegan* food! Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Dont forget to try the Limoncello. If you are in the St. Catharines area, give this place a try.

Amazing food fulfilled my vegan dreams Our server Emily was an amazing and attentive, planning on going again next time I get a spinach dip craving haha Food

Amazing vegan and gluten free food!

The server was extremely friendly, (especially when she met a table of her young age friends), however, when questioned about the food, I may have been better off talking to a wall. We were not aware that this was a vegan restaurant until we ordered something with chicken, to which the response was, that s made from soy . We should have walked out then but after a really long drive, we changed our selection to a foolproof choice. At least that s what we thought. When you can t finish a Greek Salad, there s definitely something wrong - and there was. How can anyone make a Greek Salad with Tasteless, pale green Iceberg lettuce - that just doesn t cut it!! There were 3 very small Kalamata olives, very little tomato and a few tiny pieces of feta cheese (possibly curd or soy). I was really hungry but just couldn t eat it. Talk about disappointment. No Romaine or Green Peppers, Red Onion, Olives or Feta to speak of. Not even Red Wine Vinegar or anything that tasted like it should have. When I expressed my disappointment, I literally just got the cold treatment & the bill. A group of local friends and I happened to pass the restaurant a few days later - and they will surely tell 7 friends, each of whom will likely tell 7 friends.

Really great vegan Mediterranean on the way back to Toronto from Niagara-on-the-Lake! The chicken wrap with Greek salad was delicious, I wish we could have tried everything on the menu

We had the BEST experience at the Lemon Tree. Our waitress Summer was SO lovely and kind and the food is so amazing. Great portions, awesome cocktails, crazy delicious food. My boyfriend (who is not vegan) was just as blown away as I was, we loved it so much and will be back time and time again!!! Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, being able to order off of the whole menu was such a treat. So many great options!!

Stopped in yesterday and had an amazing lunch on the patio. I forgot my bike lock at home and they let me bring my bike on the patio so it wouldnt get stolen. The food and service was great and the waitress was friendly. Fantastic Mediterranean style food, Ill be back!

Great vegan place close to Niagara Falls. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend the mezze plate to try both hummus and tzatziki dips with pita bread. Also the cheesecakes are nice to try. My favorite was the Limoncello one, with fresh and subtle lemon flavor. Also the peanut butter cheesecake was good, it would be great for those who love chocolate and peanuts. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The food here was delicious!! They had a special of lasagna soup the was so tasty, well seasoned and filling. One person in our party was not vegan and she throughly enjoyed her meal. The service was friendly, attentive and personable, our server had a good vibe.

What a great vegetarian restaurant!! Our food was so delicious and flavourful. Almost too many options but in a great way. And so many items that would be enjoyed by even meat lovers. Our server Kyla was so helpful, friendly and kind. She gave many great options and suggestions. Highly recommend this quaint restaurant to everyone!

Great service. Excellent food

Incredible food!! The steak is UNREAL! DELICIOUS GF SG NF OPTIONS! YAY!!! Thank you!

Great Vegan food and always friendly staff. Thanks Food

Bewilderingly delicious cocktails and food, even though weve been plant based for years. Had takeout numerous times but ate in for the first time last night and was blown away every time. The service was sweetly fabulous too. The best part is they used to be a more traditional restaurant and they just shifted over to vegan when the owners went vegan--love that!

It is one of the must visit vegan restaurant as I suggest. The food and drinks both were Amazing.Our server name is Kyla and the way she is doing her job it was amazing.

Kyla was a great hostess/server! She was super friendly, super helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu! Give that girl a raise!!!!

We really enjoyed the food and service.

Probably the worst restaurant Ive been to in a while. My friend and I ordered two chicken wraps and two salads. The wraps hardly had any chicken inside, maybe just about a tablespoon in each, the salad appeared stale, wilted and lacked color and freshness. The waitress was a young girl who did her best. Its a cosy Romanian-Albanian place. I will never go there again and wouldnt recommend anyone visiting this place.

Really good food! Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian options and is kid friendly Food : 5/5 |

I was there last night, months after moving to Toronto. The Lemon Tree is just as awesome as I remember it. Great food and lovely staff :) Also, this is the first time I had vegan kaday f (an old Turkish dessert) and it was yummy! Keep up the good work! <3

Extraordinary vegan choices. Kind and professional attention with full attention to customer satisfaction. Extraordinary kitchen!!!

Please advertise clearly that this is a vegan restaurant.

The Lemon Tree deserves a full 5 stars. They have a wide variety of options on the menu. I really like the bruschetta and artichoke/spinach dip appetizers. Im also a big fan of their Beyond Burger, Margherita Pizza, and Mediterranean Pasta. The owners and staff are very nice. They always provide great service. The restaurant is 100% vegan but meat-eaters will not be disappointed because the food is delicious. P.S. - Ive heard rumours about a top secret menu at The Lemon Tree. If you know anything about such a menu please let me know because Im very intrigued.

Great vegan spot if you fancy Mediterranean

Tasty food & incredible service made for an all-around great experience

Really delicious food. The baklava cheesecake is excellent.

This is a fantastic little restaurant, folks! Lots of selection, delicious food (prepared fresh in-house) and stellar customer service. As a bonus, the entire place is squeaky clean, including washrooms!

Edit: Sept 2022. Ordered mozz sticks and they don t provide marinara sauce! The sauce they paired it with was an odd choice. I was the only person in the restaurant and service was extremely slow. Knocked my rating from 5 stars to 4. Original review: Oct 2019: Very delicious food. Pumpkin cheesecake, pizza, dolmades, and Greek salad were perfect. Falafel wrap was good too, I just wish there was more falafel to balance out the lettuce and pita.

We were so pleased to find this vegan restaurant while in St Catherines. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere very nice and our waitress was great!

Food was excellent and the staff is very nice

Words cant describe how good this place is. My go-to order is the Chicken wrap with Greek salad but you cant go wrong with any item on their menu. By far the best vegan restaurant Ive found.

Great food and friendly staff.

I may need to give this a second chance as we visited here for a little girls day out and ordered the Persian platter. I was very underwhelmed by everything we tried. The coconut shrimp were good but the skewers really were very good. All the dips and cheeses were lovely though so I would probably just order those platters next time. The service was wonderful, they were very attentive and kind but the food left me a little underwhelmed.

Best vegan restaurant ever

The best and most varied plant-based restaurant in Niagara. Everything on the menu is fantastic, and obviously made with care and attention for the customers satisfaction. The staff are brilliant and the owners are genuinely lovely. Loads of parking out front for those that need it. Would highly recommend for lunch, dinner, birthdays, etc.

What a meal! Delicious! If you like food / vegan food, its a must! I was a bit pricey, but so worth it! We will definitively go back there next time we go to Niagara Falls. Vegetarian options: Everything is VEGAN and AMAZING

Great gem! You must try the tzatziki sauce! Also check out the secret menu they have. Service was super quick.
