Rise Above Restaurant Reviews
A 10/10 must stop foodie restaurant. We enjoyed 1) the gobbler: a vegan spin on a thanksgiving sandwich with gravy for dipping and 2) the halloumi hot honey sandwich: a vegan hot grilled halloumi cheese with pesto and tofu bacon jam with greens. Both of our dishes were excellent for taste, texture, and presentation. Thank you Heather for hosting us and answering all our menu questions.
So many choices and styles of dishes here at Rise Above. Truly a must stop shop! We will...read full review

Rise Above Restaurant offers a variety of delicious vegan dishes, including the popular Nugget Bucket and Pepperoni Strikes Back Panzeroti. The pineapple pizza is also a must-try. This cozy restaurant features great music, nice decor, and two pinball machines, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The friendly staff provides excellent service, with the owner being particularly sweet. They have a range of vegan versions of traditional non-vegan dishes like mac and cheese, eggplant parmesan, and chili. Despite limited parking in downtown St. Catharines, it’s worth a visit for wholesome and tasty food.
The menu features a mix of diner-style items, including Beyond Meat options, vegan cheeses, toasties, and wraps, as well as healthier choices like the souvlaki bowl. Customers have enjoyed the buffalo wings, spinach artichoke dip, Halloumi Hot Honey sandwich, and falafel plate. Many have noted the chipotle mayo as a must-try. While some found the dessert prices a bit high, the overall service was described as really good. Rise Above aims to provide a satisfying dining experience with both comfort food and healthier options. The restaurant is also known for its kindness, as shown when they offered help to a family during a downtown event.
