The Lemon Tree

So amazing, everything tastes wonderful that we've tried! And the waitresses are super friendly and great with their recommendations! My wife and I's go to spot for date night, or lunch too!

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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. It's 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 can't wait to come back to Lemon Tree and try out some of their main dishes. If they're anything like the desserts, I know I won't 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 you'd 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!

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.

Words can't describe how good this place is. My go-to order is the Chicken wrap with Greek salad but you can't go wrong with any item on their menu. By far the best vegan restaurant I've found.

Awesome restaurant! Great vegan food that tastes accurate to the real thing and huge portion sizes for a good price. I would give 6 stars if I could!

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.

Amazing food, huge portions, great price, fake meat tastes so real. I have nothing bad to say about this place and more people need to know about it!

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

My boyfriend and I went here for out two year anniversary after I had been here about four years ago and have missed it ever since. I had an absolute amazing time, the waitress was so nice I didn’t catch her name but anybody that I interacted with was extremely kind, the food was phenomenal, it was very clean. I highly recommend going here even for people who are not vegan or vegetarian, as my boyfriend is a meat eater and enjoyed it a lot as well! We also happen to come in super late and they were very understanding and super super kind about it they didn’t make me feel bad, even though I felt bad.

Randomly stopped at this place on our way home from Niagara Falls. We were very impressed! The vegan chicken in the chicken wrap was among the best I've had in my 20+ years of vegetarianism/veganism. Overall, food was fresh, thoughtfully presented and plentiful. Would definitely recommend!

If you are looking for super delicious vegan food in the St Catherine's area this is a great place to go. Super friendly staff, great food. Sommer took amazing care of us tonight and went out of her way to make sure our entire party of 10 was happy! I will come back when down this way again!

This is one of our go-to spots on the way to Niagara falls! We love their food, and their service!

A very warm and friendly place with wonderful food. The vegan moussaka was rich and comforting, and the Margherita pizza had an excellent combination of textures and flavors. The red sangria was an out-of-the-ordinary treat!

Our favorite vegan spot in town. Always fresh and piping hot and even the non vegans in the clan love it.
