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.
Ça faisait quelques années que j'avais mangé au Lola Rosa & j'ai conseillé a ma famille de m'accompagner pour un dîner. Malheureusement, ceux qui ont mangé la lasagne, le cury végétarien & le chili aux haricots noirs & tofu manquaient de goût. Mais celui qui a mangé le hamburger s'est régalé. La soupe thai du moment était excellente & les frites de pois chiche....un régal. Le latte au lait d'avoine était très bon. Les deux desserts: tarte au chocolat & pudding chômeur ont été appréciés.
Le service impeccable.
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.

Thr vibe & service were the best parts of my experience. I ordered the tofu plate & while it was tasty, it could've had more flavor & it could've cost way less. Prices are way inflated here. I could have easily bought the ingredients to make the plate for way cheaper. I recommend ordering something a bit more exotic here, that you couldnt easily recreate at home yourself. They also have beer here. The beer is a good price about $8.50. They also have plenty of seating options.
When I was recently on St-Catherine my friend & I decided to have dinner at this location of Lola Rosa. Since I've had nice experiences at another Lola Rosa location in the past, I thought it would be a good choice for us.
Unfortunately, all of the dishes that we ordered at this location were not good. The server told us the roasted eggplant with pita was baba ganoush, but it was nothing like that! It was more like roasted eggplants in tomatoes. The fried mushrooms were too salty. I ordered the burrito & it was mostly comprised of rice, rather than protein. My friend ordered a sauteed tofu dish, but it was intolerably spicy! Finally, my friend wanted a dessert to take away the spice so she got the brownie. The brownie was too dry, & had that distinct, unappetizing'healthy vegan' flavor.
Taste the food before serving it to customers! This location is not recommended!
Exceptionnel restaurant vegan. La carte est très variée & les recettes sont réussies & pleines de saveurs. Le tofu braisé par exemple vaut vraiment le détour. Côté boisson, c'est aussi qualitatif avec des cocktails (avec ou sans alcool) très bien réalisés & un large choix de bières. Le cadre est agréable & le service est top. C'est une excellente adresse !

Superbe expérience, nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes sur l'heure du midi. Notre serveur , Éric, nous a proposé diverses options basées sur la préférence de chacun. le burger & le tofu brasé sont d'excellentes options. Nous allons certainement revenir.
I've been here a couple of times! Highly recommend the braised tofu & the poutine. Good portion sizes & presentation as well.
Also want to thank Kat who was our server tonight. She did a great job being attentive to our needs, explaining the menu, & overall providing excellent service on a busy night.
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.

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.
Une amie m'a fait découvrir l'endroit, & wow. Intérieur soigné, propre & cosy. J'ai bien fait de ne pas prendre d'entrée. Les portions sont copieuses. J'ai choisi le Tofu braisé & légumes sautés... je regrette seulement de ne pas avoir pu terminer mon assiette. C'était tellement bon! (Le cocktail aussi!) Bel endroit & les serveurs.es étaient d'une extrême gentillesse. J'ai hâte d'y retourner.
We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We came in on a whim & I was nervous given its proximity to tourist locations that it would be bad but the food, drinks & service were all excellent. Not mind blowing creations but definitely tasty! I recommend the braised tofu. My one note is that this place is not very accessible as the bathrooms are on the third floor. Impossible for wheelchairs & difficult for elderly & reduced mobility.
First time customer. Order the braised tofu & black beans to go. Braise tofu was pretty good. I did get the maple & soy sauce on the side. Best decision for me, if I would have gotten it with sauce on, it would have been to over powering. Black beans, not good for my liking. Unfortunately, ended throwing them away. Also, I have never ordered beans to go & come inside a packaging like the one in picture. I had no idea until I got back to my hotel. As you see the beans were leaking , which caused the bag to brake. Better packaging needing. Beans are too heavy to put in there.

J'ai commandé en take out un riz au tofu & un gâteau au citron. C'était vraiment bon j'ai rien à dire, mais les portions sont ridicules . J'ai payé 34$ & j'ai reçu 2 minuscules boîtes. C'est vraiment dommage.Venez pas ici si vous avez faim, ça ne vaut pas la peine du tout.
Great, vegan restaurant in the middle of Place-des-Arts. It is one of my favourite places to eat. I love their braised tofu dish; I get it almost every time.
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?❤️🙃
Repas à 2. Nous sommes des habitués de la place. Plus souvent pour le dîner que le souper. Ici, était pour les souper. Nos deux dernières expériences pour le souper n'ont vraiment pas été agréables. Au deuxième, c'est la cacophonie complète. Ce soir était au troisième & là assis en rang d'oignons, les tables vraiment trop près une de l'autre. Les tables de 2 devraient être éloignées des tables à plusieurs. Après une demande spécifique d'avoir du temps pour notre drink & entrées, les repas sont arrivés trop rapidement. Enfin, le tofu braisé, notre plat habituel, n'était vraiment pas la hauteur de ce que nous avons déjà goûter. Somme toute, soirée très décevante.
