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.
J'ai adoré mon expérience au restaurant Lola Rosa ! Le personnel est très accueillant, souriant & vraiment serviable. La nourriture est non seulement délicieusement préparée, mais aussi très bien présentée. Un endroit chaleureux où l'on se régale du début à la fin. Je recommande sans hésiter !
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.
Super adresse ! On y est gentiment accueilli & le repas est succulent. Surtout soyez curieux & ouvrez le tiroir de votre table... & laissez à votre tour un bon mot.
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.
An amazing place to eat. Warm welcome, friendly staff. The poutine…. So unique, yet so delicious. I am a firm believer in the gravy makes or breaks a poutine. This gravy definitely makes the poutine. So rich & creamy, & the mushrooms…. yes, I said mushrooms….ugh…so good. We also had the mushroom calamari & the cheese steak sandwich. Calamari texture was perfect as was the'steak'. If you find yourself in the vicinity of this gem of a place, pop in for a bite. If you're looking for a plant based eatery, you can't go wrong with this one.
In the city for a few days, this was the brightest gem of the trip. Thoughtful & tasty menu, good beer selection. The staff were bright, helpful, & really positive people.
We had lunch at Lola Rosa & tried the lasagna, the seitan burger & the lemon pie. The lasagna & the lemon pie with chantilly were outstanding, & the service was equally excellent!
Amazing food, atmosphere, service & vibe! We enjoyed it so much that we returned for dinner the following night! Vegan restaurant with many options including celiac options! Extra caution is taken for cross contamination!!!
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!
