The Lemon Tree Cafe-Bistro

EAT HERE. This is a superb little bistro in Penrith. Right by the church. The food was really good and the prices VERY reasonable. Ignore the other "milk" review. This family operated bistro served an excellent steak, provided great service, and is a credit to Penrith.

Stumbled upon this unassuming bistro while looking for lunch in Penrith. No-frills, casual spot serving unpretentious, delicious food at honest prices. Friendly service too. Glad we picked this spot!

After having a wander round Penrith we decided to stop here for lunch and after a quick scout through the menu we were sold.

I opted for the vegetarian club sandwich (hummus, grilled peppers, toms and carrots) which I 100% recommend and the soup of the day. My husband had the chilli jam, sausage and cheese grilled sandwich and I’ve never seen his plate left so clean!

The service was fab and the whole place had a lovely feel to it. If you ever find yourself hungry in Penrith then I definitely recommend this cafe, the food was delicious all round!

I had already eaten half of my lunch before taking the picture but thought I’d share it anyway!

We arrived in Penrith on Friday afternoon really hungry and desperate for a good meal.We lucked out as spotted the Lemon Tree.We had the most delicious homemade pie served with amazing mash and lovely fresh vegetables.The staff were very friendly and you can tell they pull out all the stops to provide good service and high quality, excellent food.Highly recommended!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to see the menu contained items that obviously had some effort put into them - like the homemade sausages on the full breakfast, absolutely delicious!
I think I have just found my new regular breakfast stop.

Excellent food. Good prices. Throughly enjoyed it. Will definitely go again.

Food was excellent, staff friendly good value

Lovely meal staff very friendly and cafe was nice and warm, definitely will be back

Fantastic food and fantastic service! Highly recommended

Great owners, lovely people. Friendly and smiley staff, pleasant atmosphere, I would probably add to the lemon tree theme and add more touches of lemon yellow to the decor here and there just to give it the sparkles it deserves, best undiscovered café in Penrith.

Delicious freshly made food, friendly service.

Always a great place for lunch - delicious home-made food, friendly service and great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!!

Both the service and the food were excellent. They went above and beyond to provide me with gluten free alternatives to the specials. I had monk fish in a delicious sauce rather than battered. Was so nice to have a delicious gf desert as so rare. I had almond and orange cake (so light and moist) with ice cream. Fabulous. Thank you.

Nice, good food, friendly and efficient service.

Fantastic place - amazing food, service with a smile, lovely atmosphere. A tucked away gem 💎

Very Nice Waiters, being very kind and nice, also bringing the food semi-fast, also a very good variety of food and breakfast, would recommend the Breakfast

We were greeted in a warm friendly manner. The place was beautifully decorated and warm. Extremely pleasing on such a cold day. The menu is well set out, with a wide range of dishes on offer. They also have a specials board. All food is cooked to order, both dishes we ordered were beautiful and well presented especially the steak pie. The coffee that is served also is exceptional...Definitely worth a visit 👌

Lovely little breakfast

Gorgeous food crafted on the premises right down to making their own cordials and preserves. I highly recommend the rhubarb cordial when in season and the smoked chicken and bacon salad. Lovely to find fresh strawberries and cream as a dessert, so unusual and it meant my diabetic husband could actually have a dessert.

Lovely staff and the food was delicious. The facilities were also lovely. We had bacon on sour dough rolls with chilli 🌶 jam. Prices were also very reasonable for how nice everything was.
