Two chefs, Jaclyn Perez and Betsy McDonald, met while cruising around the world working on mega yachts. Each time they stopped at a port they would pick up local ingredients to prepare on board. Their travels gave them a passion for world flavors and they’ve opened a restaurant in downtown Bend with a menu inspired by their global experiences. The Lemon Tree is open Tuesday through Sunday for breakfast and lunch.
