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.
I had an amazing dinner at Lola Rosa in downtown Montreal. From the moment I walked in until I paid my bill, the whole experience was excellent. The staff were super friendly, polite, & welcoming. The restaurant itself is very clean, with a simple & pleasant décor.
The food honestly exceeded my expectations. I was surprised by both the quality & the quantity. Everything was very satisfying, with a great balance of spices. I had the Curry as main, the tofu had a perfect texture, & the creamy coriander dip with the fresh hot bread was absolutely epic.
Overall, everything was delicious, & the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I definitely recommend this place.
I had a wonderful lunch experience at Lola Rosa on Saint Catherine Street. The place has a great vibe, with plants & artistic décor that really set the mood. The servers were quick to take my order, & the food was amazing. I sat by the window inside & enjoyed my meal while watching the passersby on Saint Catherine Street, which added an extra layer of entertainment to the experience. I highly recommend Lola Rosa for anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable lunch in Montreal.

The food was fantastic. Wide array of choice, from
culinary adventure to comfort. Served piping hot by a friendly server. Lovely decor. Intimate for a couple or fun for a group. Highly recommend.
Sympathique restaurant végan à proximité de la Place des Arts où nous sommes allés souper avant le spectacle de Pub Royal, avec service courtois & rapide. Nous avons pris le Tofu Braisé (wow, excellent, mais il faut aimer manger épicé) & le Chili aux fèves rouges & chipotle (très bon également). L'ambiance & le décor nous ont beaucoup plu, tout comme la cuisine ouverte sur la salle à manger. Nous y retournerons assurément.
Visiting Montreal this past holiday Friday & found this great spot. Did not have a reservation but they seated us in 10 minutes. Very busy spot which is always a good sign!! Staff from the moment we stepped in were amazing., décor very cool, & food was fantastic even if you are not a vegan. I highly recommend the nachos. Portions a good size as well. Prices average for Place des Arts area. If in the area next visit I will be returning to this spot
Perfect! Lola Rosa PDA ticks off every box, & I've got plenty of boxes lol. Gorgeous warm decor. Patient professional tasteful service. Mouthwatering taste. Unique cuisine. Commitment to compassion for the environment & animals not to mention human health. Ideal location for fun afterwards in downtown Montreal. Pretty much my favourite restaurant ever!👌

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.
I celebrated my wedding on August 5th in the reception room at Lola Rosa Place-Des-Arts & it was perfect for our group! The planification with the organisor & the staff was extremely easy & accomodating. We had a nice vegan buffet menu for our group. The staff helped me set up our music playlist & I was able to bring flowers & other decorations to make the room festive for the occasion. We were a group of 40 & felt like we had the entire place to ourselves because we had one full floor to ourselves. I wasn't sure if a restaurant would be appropriate for our wedding but I have to say that I was extremely delighted with how everything turned out! I would recommend it!
Accueil & prise en charge chaleureuse par garçon efficace, table attribuée à l'étage supérieur avec décor industriel, menu varié offert sur code QR, option finale de 2 menus partagés de chili & de seitan de tofu & légumes, ce dernier s'avérant notre préféré. Mention de service impeccable du début à la fin, chose plutôt rare par les temps qui courent!
Excellent service & excellente nourriture. Le décor est enchanteur. La vue au troisième étage sur la place des festivals est à couper le souffle.
Merci encore pour l'excellente soirée entre amies. Offrent des choix intéressants de boissons sans alcool. Leur ''poiscamole'' est un incontournable pour les personnes à la recherche du plaisir d'une guacamole sans les avocats.

Belle décoration & personnel accueillant & sympathique. Le tartare est goûteux & se partage très bien en entrée pour 2 personnes. La salade Rosa présente une portion généreuse & est rafraîchissante!
