Rise Above Restaurant

A very nice place, smaller menu which means they know what theyre doing.
The food was amazing as was the service.
We're not vegan, and were recommended the place. We were not disappointed. Great taste and prices. Would be happy to go again.
The staff were helpful with suggestions and explanations.

Thank you for an incredible foodie experience ~⭐️ We enjoyed sharing some nibbles, like the ever popular stuffed mushrooms, cheezy dip, and the maple seitan wings! We also really enjoyed the cheezecake slice for dessert after our long drive back home. Like a cozy hug, after a long day...thank you. Chef Anne

Super cute restaurant. The service was excellent. The menu had lots of choices and prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Adorable and peaceful ambiance. Amazing service with delicious food. The seitan and waffles were to die for. The maple glazed breakfast sandwich was incredible. Crispy breakfast potatoes and mouth watering mains. I loved the coffee and the latte. Will definitely be back!!

Great menu, love their seasonal specials. Nice presentation. Attentive server. Well priced.

A frequent date spot for my non-vegan bf and I! Lots of delicious comfort meals and very friendly staff! A tad more on the pricey side but worth it.

Went to rise above for the first time recently. Restaurant was busy and decided to get take out. I ordered the pesto grilled cheese, with potato wedges and a side of mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were generous!

I had the crispy seitan wrap it was SO GOOD.
Not heavy, crispy even though I waited for an hour to eat it and super flavourful all the way through the seitan nuggets.
I can’t wait to try the horchata and cheesecake when I dine in!

I had been here once before and had their lunch menu which I enjoyed, so I was looking forward to trying their brunch menu. I went together with my partner and unfortunately we both left disappointed with the brunch meals we had. He had the poutine and thought the sauce had little to no flavour and all he could taste was potato. I had the omelette sandwich, and my expectations for it were far from being met - I was expecting something a lot more similar to an omelette (thicker, the veggies cooked inside the "omelette"), instead it's just a very thin small chickpea pancake and raw veggies inside the sandwich, and I couldn't taste any "omelette".

Rise Above can always be counted on for homey and delicious food. The wings are stellar (be sure to visit their sister location Rise Above Pizza & Wings in Hamilton) and the menu has at least one thing to appeal to everyone, vegan or otherwise. Edit: I have recently learned that Rise Above Pizza & Wings is no longer affiliated with this location. But I hold true that both places have great food! Updated from previous review on 2024-10-16
