St. Catharines Restaurants

Plant-Based Friendly
For restaurants where vegan, vegetarian, meatless, or plant-forward diners have credible choices rather than a single token modification.
Average plant-based friendly score: 7.4/10
Outstanding
The Lemon Tree
9.4The Lemon Tree is not a mixed menu with a few plant-based substitutions; the entire Mediterranean comfort-food lane is vegan. Calamari, Beyond Steak, feta, tzatziki, pasta, burgers, and cheesecake all point to a kitchen built around plant-based diners from the start.
Rise Above Restaurant
9.3Rise Above earns this card because vegan dining is the whole premise, not a side accommodation. The menu spans wings, wraps, salads, bowls, cocktails, and sweets without animal products, so plant-based diners can choose freely across the restaurant.
Rollin' Pizza
9.1Rollin Pizza gives plant-based diners a full second route through the menu. Vegan Clubhouse, Vegan BBQ Jackfruit, Vegan Pierogi and Vegan Detroit Pepperoni cover comfort, smoke, potato-cheese nostalgia and pan-pizza texture without asking anyone to settle for a bare substitution.
Excellent
Brass Monkey Local
9.0Brass Monkey is unusually easy to navigate for plant-based pub food: the menu names vegan chick'n sandwiches and nuggets, Daiya swaps, vegan ground round, and vegan-friendly sauces without making those choices feel separate from the main order.
Mahtay Café & Lounge
8.7Mahtay earns this card through real menu flexibility, not a token side dish. Larry David and Kimcheese both carry vegan-option markers, and soups are marked vegan, so plant-forward diners have a practical path through the main food board.
Good Options
Spicy Thai Restaurant
8.5Spicy Thai is unusually easy to navigate for plant-based tables because the restaurant says many recipes can be converted to vegetarian or vegan without losing the intended flavour. Tofu-and-vegetable choices appear across curries, noodles, soups, salads, and stir-fries.
Bistro Mirepoix
8.9Vegetarian diners are not treated as an afterthought on this board. The restaurant says vegetarian dishes are always present, and the chalkboard format gives plant-forward choices room to change with the season.
Flavour Fuel
9.6Plant-based and vegetarian diners have real footing here. Portobello Mushroom Panini, Deluxe Veg Wrap, Good Greek Salad, smoothies and gluten-free or vegan-capable markers give non-meat diners actual paths through the menu instead of one token side.
Taash Indian Restaurant and Bar
9.0Vegetarian diners get a real path through the menu: Paneer Pakora, Aloo Gobhi, Chole Bhature, Taash Special Paneer, Vegetable Momos, Vegetable Chow Mein, and spring rolls.
Pho Bat Trang
9.7Vegetarian diners have more than a token path because Fresh Vegetarian Tofu Rolls are part of the current order set, and the broader restaurant data supports vegetarian-friendly choices. It is still a confirm-before-ordering situation for stricter needs.
Pho Dau Bo Restaurant
8.8Vegetarian diners get a real lane rather than one modified dish. The menu includes tofu fresh rolls, vegetarian spring rolls, tofu pho with mixed vegetables, vegetarian fried rice, pad thai, and stir-fried noodle or rice dishes, making it easier to build a complete meal without leaving the Vietnamese format.
KaiserHaus Wine Bar & Bistro
9.5Vegetarian options are real but narrower: eggplant schnitzel, pretzel, salad, soup and a mushroom-goat cheese sandwich.
Chang Noi's Authentic Thai Cuisine
9.1The menu gives plant-based and gluten-sensitive diners a real conversation starter rather than a footnote. Most dishes can be prepared vegan or gluten-free on request, with the important caveat that guests still need to discuss allergies and shared-kitchen limits.
The Merchant Ale House
9.1Vegetarian diners have more than a side-salad fallback: chicken-fried oyster mushrooms, Sweet Potato Flatbread, Beet Salad, Baked Brie, and vegan substitution notes make the pub usable for mixed groups.
