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.
As a Vegetarian, & my husband a Vegan, we are always looking for good food, & Lola Rosa came highly recommended.... it was ok. The food was ok, but not great. Nachos were good, but the lasagna & steak sandwich did not have a lot of taste.
Lola Rosa is a cozy & comfortable vegan restaurant with plenty of new vegetarian dishes to try. We visited this Valentine's Day, & it was the perfect experience! The nachos are very hearty-enough for two people that we couldn't even finish our main dishes after. Everything we tried was delicious, & the atmosphere is so welcoming. Definitely a great spot to enjoy a meal & try something new.

We visited Lola Rosa a few days ago & really liked it. The place is cozy, comfortable, & felt very welcoming as soon as we walked in.
The food was great. The burger is a must try, & the nachos were really tasty too. We also tried the burrito chorizo, which was filling & full of flavour.
Overall, a nice spot with good vibes & good vegan food. Would definitely go back.
I got the cheesteak with the side of salad. It was decent I just feel like I should have eaten something else, their other items looked better. But my sister had the nachos, that was really good.
The vibe of the restaurant was amazing super cozy & chill. If you look inside the tables there's little notes
Cute little place near Desjardin. Lovely staff. Great vegan place for anyone (meat eater or not) to enjoy. The nachos with chorizo was our favorite item. We also got the poutine which was a nice twist & the curry was a nice warm meal on this cold day. The appetizers come in two sizes which was good for us since we wanted to try multiple items. Would definitely go again.
Went to Lola Rosa with my non-vegan family. We all loved our meals & had a wonderful experience. The staff went above & beyond to accommodate us. I would highly recommend the nachos & the lox bagel.
The vegan proteins they have are quite tasty but this place falls down on the basics & is not consistent. Last meal we have here, I had the nachos, the toppings are great but the chips are quite stale, not made in house but brought in from outside. My husband order the cheesesteak sandwich. The'cheesesteak' part is quite good but he had to leave the bread (it was also very stale- rock hard) & only eat the cheesesteak with a fork & knife. A shame as we are fully vegetarian & always looking out for new restaurant options. The service is always friendly & it is a nice atmosphere but sometimes the meals are meh.

Elevated vegan cuisine which is admired by non-vegans too. They have a seemingly small menu but it offers a great variety including appetizers, main dishes & desserts. We ordered nachos to share, it had vegetables, avocado, beans; tartare was served with toast; lasagna with salad on the side & burgers with fries. Delicious strawberry lemonade too!
Exceptional service, delicious food, & intolerance friendly! It's quite rare to find nut free options at vegan restaurants & at Lola Rosa there are a ton. Their alcohol free mocktails are also delicious. I had the nachos & they were to die for, also recommend the Cajun style burger.
5 stars!!! So delicious 🥰 the nachos with chorizo & chilli amazing. Bloody cesar was spicy & thick as it should. Burger was really good & the philly sandwich was unreal!
This is a great vegan restaurant! We had a wonderful time. Mathieu was a great server, gave us all we needed & was patient with our weak french. We had the nachos with chorizo. It was truly delicious. We also recommend the Sangria.
Very cool spot for dining in! We ordered the nachos & the Hemo Burger, mango dessert- all were delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed the food & the whole vibe !
We had a really nice experience at Lola Rosa - Place-des-Arts! The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, with friendly staff & quick service. It's a perfect spot for a casual meal in downtown Montreal, very close to Place-des-Arts metro.
We tried the Cajin burger, the nachos, & the poutine - everything was tasty & well presented. The nachos were loaded & perfect for sharing, & the burger was filling & had a unique flavor. The poutine was definitely a fun twist on a Quebec classic!
I'm giving 4 stars because I didn't realize it's more of a vegetarian/vegan-focused place - which is great for many, but I personally prefer more variety with meat options. Still, for a plant-based restaurant, it's very creative & flavorful!
Overall, a lovely place with great energy, generous portions, & a cool vibe. I would go back again, especially with vegetarian friends

Nous avons passé un excellent moment chez Lola Rosa - Place-des-Arts ! L'ambiance était chaleureuse & accueillante, le personnel sympathique & le service rapide. C'est l'endroit idéal pour un repas décontracté au centre-ville de Montréal, tout près du métro Place-des-Arts.
Nous avons essayé le burger cajin, les nachos & la poutine : tout était savoureux & bien présenté. Les nachos étaient copieux & parfaits à partager, & le burger était nourrissant & avait une saveur unique. La poutine était vraiment une version amusante d'un classique québécois !
Je donne 4 étoiles, car je ne savais pas que c'était un restaurant plutôt végétarien/végétalien, ce qui est parfait pour beaucoup, mais je préfère personnellement plus de variété avec des options de viande. Malgré tout, pour un restaurant végétalien, c'est très créatif & savoureux !
En résumé, un endroit charmant avec une bonne énergie, des portions généreuses & une ambiance décontractée. J'y retournerais volontiers, surtout avec des amis végétariens.

I really enjoy this restaurant & have been going here for a few years. When I have company visiting from out of town, I usually try to make sure we go & it is great for either lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is causal/laid back & the staff are always friendly. All of the menu (food & cocktails) items I have tried have been great & flavourful. I am never disappointed. My "go-to"s are the tofu, nachos & rosa salad. But, I really appreciate having restaurant that takes care to have proper gluten-free options. Overall, this is a must try in Montreal. Just to note to make sure to book the Place-des-Arts location as it is superior to the other locations in terms of food & atmosphere.
My absolute favorite restaurant EVER! If I could, I'd rate it even higher than 5 stars!! I've been eating here for years now & never get tired of it (neither do my non-vegan family & friends who also adore it & always want to go) Everything is delicious, but my favorites are the cheesesteak (even better now with the pretzel bread), nachos, & as of recently, the tacos! There is also a cute private room on the top floor. You can book it for events, which I really enjoyed for my birthday celebration. Great & friendly service too!
J'ai commandé les nachos, j'ai du manger vite pour qu'ils ne deviennent pas soggy parce que les toppings sont assez humides, s'ils peuvent les mettre au le côté ce serait préférable.
a wonderful vegan dinner, both salads were delicious, I also recommend the fried oyster mushrooms & lemon tart. The only thing we didn't love were the nachos, felt like they missed some salt or seasoning. our favorite were the notes in the table drawers, make sure you read them!
Nice vegetarian eatery in a cool area of Montreal. Varied menu with reasonable options. Nachos probably would have been better with the chilli add on - regrets!
