Calamari

The Lemon Tree is a wonderful 100% vegan Mediterranean restaurant in St Catharines. The staff here are incredibly friendly, serving phenomenal food. Another plant-based seafood appetizer we had was Calamari. It wasn’t rubbery and apparently it’s made from a root vegetable (as opposed to tofu or mushrooms). However they did it, they did it right. The calamari was perfectly seasoned, breaded and fried. However it didn’t have a fishy taste. Like many other appetizers, it was served with in-house tzatziki dip. I would get this again and I would definitely return to this restaurant. These guys are doing vegan right.

Vegan calamari! This was super good. They used hearts of palm to mimic calamari, and although it didn’t quite have the same texture it did taste really good.

This was really good! A lot of plant-based calamari seems to be made from mushrooms (which I love), but this one was made from root vegetables. It doesn't have that rubbery feel that mushrooms have, so if you're not a fan of that, this is a calamari that you'd probably enjoy. #veganisnotscary

Such an interesting and delicious appetizer! Made with root vegetables batter and served with fresh tzatziki sauce

I love the lemon tree and everything they have especially the vegan calamari!
