Flashback to 2004
When we (Chef Dan Megna & Laurie Lilliman) set out on a journey to find a home for our young family and a place to realize our dream. It was in Cayuga that we found the location and community to start growing our business of quality food and service, and Twisted Lemon Catering was born. After a few exciting years catering and teaching cooking classes out of our home kitchen, it was time to evolve. We listened when you said you wanted a restaurant.

Nearly a decade ago, Twisted Lemon Restaurant & Flavour Junkies first welcomed you through our doors. Since that exciting day, you’ve welcomed us in to your communities, businesses, homes and celebrations.
As we begin our 10th year as a restaurant, and destination location, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate our time together, than by building the patio that you've been asking for and we’ve all been dreaming of!
We’re looking to our communities for support to raise $28,500.00.
At this number we will make magic happen. If we exceed this goal, we have a wish list that will 100% go back in to making your experiences at Twisted Lemon even better!
Every funded dollar will go into:
1. Building a destination patio. Enjoy Twisted Lemon’s award-winning creations from the kitchen and the bar in an idyllic partially covered twenty-seat dining space, just outside our front door. Sip and savour with your face to the sun, surrounded by flowers and herbs, and gaze into the star-lit sky at dinner.
2. Renovations. We’re going to knock down a wall or two, add a door and a couple of windows. This is not only essential for patio service and access but will allow more natural light in to the restaurant.
3. Chef’s Garden Dining. After an initial test season in his sustainable garden, Chef Dan’s in-ground cooking and earth-to-table dinners are off to a great start. This year's plans are to take these remarkable foodie experiences to the next level by adding structural & aesthetic improvements to the outdoor dining and cooking areas.
These initiatives will allow us to continue to grow and provide you with truly unique, exceptional food and drink EXPERIENCES that you will be proud to share with your friends, families and business associates.
Why Partner With Us?
We've been walking the walk for over ten years. Our commitment to supporting and promoting like-minded businesses, services and philosophies in our greater community has earned Twisted Lemon much recognition over the years. In addition to receiving Haldimand County’s Tourism Award (2017), we were honoured to receive the Ontario’s South West “Business Innovation Award” in Leamington, Ontario (March 2018). As a business, it is our welcome responsibility to give back to our community as well as help drive tourism to the beautiful town of Cayuga, Haldimand County and beyond!
When It’s All Happening
Renderings are drawn, permits are approved and talented tradespeople are ready to go! We’ve designed and dreamt, plotted and planned. Our mini greenhouse already has hundreds of baby seedlings reaching for the sun, just waiting to be planted. Now, all we need is YOU!
Our Funding Campaign will run for 6 weeks, then we’ll break ground and start construction inside, and out by mid June, with plans to be fully operational on the patio by the first week of July. Garden Construction begins in May with scheduled Garden Dinners & Events running from July through September.
All rewards, including Gift Certificates, Twist Bag Vouchers and Receipts will be available for pick up during regular business hours at the front desk at Twisted Lemon 48 hours after making your online contribution. If you prefer to have them mailed, just let us know. Note that Twisted Lemon is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
