Since its creation, Lola Rosa is non-vegetarians' favorite vegetarian restaurant. We want to prove that eating without meat is possible and delicious. We offer appetizing dishes inspired from our mothers and grand-mothers. A ragout, a curry, chilli, tomato tart and lasagna are some items found on the menu.
We serve you, in a homely manner, the best Nachos in town! All in a warm decor. Try one of our local beers to pair with those Nachos. And if that's not enough to inspire you, or if you are looking for ideas for your next philosophy class, all you need to do is open our table drawers.
Overall, Lola Rosa is described as a cozy, welcoming vegan-friendly spot that consistently delivers flavorful plant-based dishes and strong service. Reviewers praise the warm atmosphere, the charming plant-filled interior, and a vibe that suits casual meals, friendly gatherings, and special events. The menu impresses with a mix of comforting items and creative vegan dishes, including crowd-pleasers like burgers, burritos, nachos, poutine with mushroom gravy, chickpea fries, lasagna, and curry, with many noting fresh flavors, generous portions, and thoughtful preparation, plus drinks and mocktails that complement the meals. Both omnivores and vegans are satisfied, with many appreciating allergen-conscious labeling and options. Service is frequently described as attentive and knowledgeable, though a few reviews flag slower or inconsistent experiences on busy days. The spots are praised for value, accessibility for families and groups, and for offering a notable plant-based alternative that appeals even to meat eaters, making Lola Rosa a go-to for a casual yet flavorful dining experience.
Avec mon accent anglophone, & mon visage, c'est parfois difficile d'obtenir du service en français, même quand je réponds pour la troisième fois que oui, je veux un menu en français. Mais ici, l'hôtesse & la serveuse m'ont servi dans la langue que j'ai parlé avec eux. Aucune question. En plus, le burger & le mocktail au pamplemousse ont été délicieux ! Merci
On a pris une lasagne & un burger, c'était excellent ! On a adoré ! La serveuse était super gentille, serviable ! Je recommande, ça faisait longtemps que j'avais pas adoré un burger comme ça !

If I could give 100 stars for service, I'd do so. I just left, after my second dinner there in less than 48 hours. &, I was tearing up. On Thursday--late--I was starving, & had to accommodate my weird gallbladder diet. I'd noticed Lola Rosa around the corner, & I'd already saved them during my pre-trip search. Rachel waited on me, & she was not only a simple delight, but she checked on things without hesitation & came back with kitchen--offered alternatives! I had Eggplant Bharta & the Rosa salad. So. Unbelievably. Delicious. & filling. The glass of scrummy orange wine didn't hurt. So, tonight, I tried to push myself to venture further afield. But, I was intrigued by the idea of the vegan burger, & kind of NEEDED something substantial. No Rachel, but Esme was also incredibly attentive, concerned, helpfully wary & OFFERED to keep the fries away from me. My belly is happy. But, more importantly, my soul is beyond rejuvenated by these folks. They are so simply, innately warm & kind & welcoming. They certainly present to love what they do. &, I don't think the ease with which they can gift their generosity of spirit can be faked. I cried because people don't necessarily know what's going on in a person's life. Natural, sincere, emotional embraces can go a long way. I've had a great few days in Montreal--the only misstep was the hotel--but Lola Rosa, man... my appreciation of how these folks are...well, it literally brought tears to my eyes. UPDATE: Was just back at my "local" & met the lovely Kathleen at the door, who treated me & my barely-conscious & skewed sense of time like she had nothing else on her plate! She seated me ages before my reservation, & I was served by her amazing sister, Rae-Lee! By the end of the evening, I was sitting at Esme's bar, when good ole Rachel happened to pop in! My belly, my heart. NO ONE gives them sustenance like this team! &, while I was sitting at the table, waiting for that so-damn-good veggie burger, I noticed the ENTIRE staff seem to really appreciate one another. A lovely thing to see! So, Lola Rosa is still da bomb-diggity & Kathleen needs to listen to Josh Ritter's song. Thanks, Lola Rosa, for consistently being absolute PERFECTION. Where else can your soul & heart get the same flawless refuel as your belly? So. Much. Love. UPDATE: approximately 54 weeks since my first visit...of the people I love--Rachel, Esme, Rae-Lee, all but Esme were present at my return! Just as warm, just as welcoming. I need to add that I met Antonio & Mathieu, this time. Had THREE homemade lemonades over the weekend. Cuz it's so good. & ANOTHER veggie burger. Next trip, I promise to try some specials. This staff doesn't get better, we just add more names of great servers/gorgeous humans to the list. The consistency of quality staff & shockingly delish food are undermined only by my satisfaction that the same great staff members are always there. Even the ones whose names I don't know yet. This level of employment consistency is one of my deciding factors when I choose to continue patronage. All of the people I've named have already been at Lola Rosa for a good chunk of time. & I'm impressed with one year plus! Well done.
Ma 5e fois environ. C'était un délice encore! J'ai pris le tofu braisé avec la sauce coriandre que j'ai adorés! Le whiskey sour était délicieux également. Les burgers de ma femme & ma belle-mère hallucinants. Nous avions le super spot au 2e avec la vue sur le Festival de Jazz sur le bord de la fenêtre 🙃 Super service & les prix ne sont pas exagérés. Pourquoi manger des animaux quand on a Lola Rosa?❤️🙃
Fred & Antonio were amazing!! Amazing customer service, & food! Came today for a birthday lunch with friends, & they went above & beyond our expectations! This place has an outdoor terasse & many tables insides! Fred helped us choose plates by providing recommendation. Very good! I'd recommend them & Lola Rosa! Highlight: Burger Cajun with chickpea fries
This here notable dining house *must* be one of the most delicious of the ummy places *ever* to have fed me. & it's vegan; I engaged with a Cajun burger (spicy enough), IPA beer very tasty, a sticky chocolate slice dessert, & a decent coffee - yes, really. Add to that #essential & exceptional staff beyond charming, what else is that to say of relevance? Except that there's outdoor & indoor seating, & inside a mezzanine floor of exceptionally presented notables. @PS: photos are sort of greenish *not* because the food is vegan, but because of the colorful lights outdoors.
My eldest daughter is vegetarian so we ate here as a family & were not disappointed. Excellent first class friendly helpful & quick service, good atmosphere & the food was lovely. I'm a big meat eater but the vegetarian Cajun burger was lovely, juicy & tasty. At least as good as any regular burger I've had recent. Very impressed, heartily recommend, as would the rest of our party.

Good vegan & gluten free restaurant. I have tried many of theirs dishes & would recommend the lasagna & burgers. Chickpea fries are nice To drink, the raspberry lemonade is sweet & worth the try ! Spicy dishes are really spicy 🌶️
Great location for vegetarian lovers. There a very few dishes I haven't tried or don't enjoy. The latest dish I had was the Cajun burgers with fries & ketchup 10/10. I also love the service. They're quick, & friendly & will look for space for you to enjoy, even during the times busy festivals that go on during the year. I think the decor needs updating. Especially the seating. They have a nice nice idea of notes in the tables. If you go, you have 2 drawers on each side of the table filled with notes from people. This too needs updating because they used to have pens & paper inside the drawers. On my r recent visit, they only had receipts, no paper or pens. I was slightly disappointed. Overall definitely one of my favorite spots to eat in the area. Bonus points: it's cheaper than most options in Montreal.
Les pleurotes frites sont délicieuses! La friture est juste débile & savoureuse. Mon repas était aussi très bon : Burger Cajun, c'était épicé à souhait comme j'aime !!
Moi j'ai tout aimé mais nous étions un peu trop serrer contre la table voisine. Mon conjoint n'a pas aimé son burger, trop de sauce & la poutine trop de sauce. Emplacement 5 étoiles.
Nice space with excellent service. The drinks & oyster mushrooms were great! The hemp burger was good but the BBQ sauce wasn't a great match for the burger. The prices seemed a little high but overall it was a good spot. I'd go again.

Nice space with excellent service. Comfort food with flair did not disappoint. We especially liked the Fried Oyster Mushrooms & Cajun Burger. Poutine was unique with button mushrooms - perhaps a bit heavy on chili powder. Hempburger was solid if not a standout dish. Chickpea fries were great with BBQ sauce. Will definitely return to try other menu items.
We were a party of 5 ... one vegan & 4 skeptical carnivores. Everyone flipped over how delicious the food was—Cajun burger, fried mushrooms, nachos, lasagne, curry & vegetables, & soup of the day. Everything was delicious. Best of all was our server, Arthur, who was A+. Lola Rosa is by far my favorite vegan restaurant out of the many in Montreal.
