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.
Absolutely incredible experience! We hosted a fundraising focused dinner & Lola Rosa was more than accomodating for our large group of 20 people. Thank you to the whole team for making this gathering a wonderful experience! Also, the chickpea fries? To die for!

Great atmosphere. Amazing Cajun Burger with super yummy chickpea fries! They messed up our order so it took longer but offered us the desserts so all good there: very good customer service.
Overall, highly recommend & will come back :)
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.
I went in randomly from the street, was surprised that they only serve vegan, but thought to myself to try. Sure am glad that I did! Food, atmosphere & service were all excellent!

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.
I booked the private room on the top floor for a special family birthday celebration lunch, & the event could not have been more enjoyable, from the absolutely delicious food, to the large bright space with impressive view, & the very friendly & helpful staff. Special thanks to Éric for helping plan the event & menu, & to Arthur for taking such great care of us during the event! Our group included several generations & the adolescents were thrilled to have a foosball game & extra table to play cards & chat away from the adults after lunch. My husband & I will return soon as a couple & without doubt will book the private room again in the future for special events.
Lastly, if you're looking for some really tasty original vegan food, this is the place to go!
Thank you Lola Rosa Place-des-Arts!🙏😊

Clairement mon gros coup de coeur à Montréal ! L'ambiance est cozy, on est accueilli de manière chaleureuse & la cuisine est excellente, je recommande à 100%
Meilleur restaurant végétalien que nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir. Un accueil chaleureux, des ptits mots dans les tiroirs, bref une saveur de découverte tant dans les plats que dans le lieu!
Nous avons ADORÉ nos 3 plats. On était tellement excités d'essayer le nouveau menu déjeuner & nos attentes ont été dépassées tout était délicieux! Coup de coeur pour la toast cajun 🙌🏻
