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.
Reviews describe Lola Rosa as a cozy, welcoming vegan and vegetarian friendly spot near Place des Arts with a lively vibe and plenty of plant based options that appeal to everyone. The menu includes crowd pleasers like chickpea fries, curry dishes, lasagna, the Cajun burger, poutine and desserts, and reviewers note thoughtful allergen information and strong value. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with many mentioning a warm welcome and helpful staff, though a few visits mention slow days or occasional inconsistencies. The atmosphere, plant filled decor and the terrace add to the appeal for casual meals, dates, or group gatherings, and the space is described as clean and comfortable. Private events are highlighted as well organized with accommodating staff. Some reviews point out noise or that a couple of dishes could use more flavor, but the overall sentiment is that Lola Rosa delivers dependable plant based fare that even non vegans often enjoy.
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.
I am not even vegetarian & I love the food!! They also have great mocktails!! The ambience was great, especially if you're going to show at place des arts,they are right across the street!! Highly recommend & would def go back! Already wanting that burger again!
We had an excellent dinner here. We arrived at 5:30 without a reservation but luckily got the last table for 2. This is a popular spot.
A bottle of tap water was on the table, which I really appreciate.
I had the curry dish - very tasty, loved the lime sauce that was on the side. Served with a lovely warm pita & rice. I couldn't quite finish it.
My husband had the Hemp burger which he quite enjoyed. The fries were good.
Definitely enjoyed our meal & would return. We are not vegan or vegetarian, but try to eat plant based sometimes.
Our server checked on food allergies when taking our order which is appreciated.
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.
Very tasty vegan comfort but not heavy or deep fried food, hit all the right spots for us! We are a vegetarian couple visiting from Toronto, & went there twice in our long weekend trip to Montreal!
Went for dinner: one of us a vegetarian, one of us (me) not, & we both loved every bit of food we had: fried oyster mushrooms, cheesesteak, & tacos asada; subbed poutine fries for regular with the cheesesteak. The black bean & mushroom gravy on the poutine was a revelation; don't miss the tacos. What a wonderful meal. Staff were friendly, helpful, good humored. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
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.

Absolutely loved lasagna. Also the atmosphere & vegan dishes as a vegetarian. Will definitely visit there when I am visiting montreal. Missed that here in Vancouver.
This is a vegetarian restaurant that is very crowded on St.Catherine street. We have to line up to get in. Staff are friendly & helpful. Food is interesting. We are not vegetarian but the food is delicious on our opinion. I love lasagna & eggplant dish very much. The restaurant has an outdoor section too.
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!
Absolute delight of a place! A heaven for those who are vegan or vegetarian. Food, drinks & service- all stellar enough to go back to this place again & again.

Wonderful & helpful service in a charming bohemian garage-sale atmosphere. Salmon poke bowl was delicious. Chicken crepe was great. Espresso was nice & very strong. Note: The restaurant has vegan, vegetarian, & meat dishes; it is not an entirely vegan restaurant.
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.
A lovely place to have a meal. Their options are great especially for Vegan & vegetarians. Seating options are different & accommodating. Drawers have some nice massages if you want write something.. ;)
A true gem near Vieux Montreal. Oyster mushrooms are very popular in the vegetarian/vegan food ecosystem, & with that comes the expectation that restaurants prepare them well. Lola Rosa exceeded my expectations as the texture & chewiness of the mushrooms delighted every taste bud! My bartender Antonio seamlessly made me an amazing cocktail while also giving me in depth knowledge of Montreal as a whole. I'll definitely be back the next time my travels bring me to Quebec.
