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.
Lola Rosa comes across as a warm, welcoming vegan spot where everything is homemade and portions are generous, with a cozy vibe that many reviews describe as perfect for a casual dinner or a weekend brunch. The menu offers a wide range of crowd pleasers, from nachos and lasagne to curries, braised tofu, hemp burger and cheesesteak, with desserts like a hot brownie served with coconut ice cream, and the drawers of notes at each table are a playful and well-loved detail. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly and attentive, though a few visits note occasional delays or inattentiveness during peak times. The food is widely celebrated for being flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced, and the place is frequently recommended even to non vegans who want a tasty, satisfying meal. Some comments mention limited salad variety or certain dishes needing more sauce or balance, and a small number of desserts or cocktails miss the mark, but the overall consensus is that Lola Rosa delivers a delicious, comforting vegan experience worth returning to.
A comfy, small sit-down, vegan restaurant in Milton-Parc, by McGill University, has lots of delicious options. Tried the Gyro & Lola's Cheesesteak sandwiches, both were excellent, as was the chocolate caramel pie😋 The sweet potato wedges were a little too soft for my liking, but tasted fine. Prices are reasonable, & there's an alcohol/cocktail menu. Went for lunch on a Thursday, & even though it was busy, the food arrived at a decent time. Our server was welcoming, knowledgeable & jovial. Keep in mind that parking in this area is hard to find. We found parking on Avenue du Parc, a couple of blocks over. I highly recommend Lola Rosa on Milton!
So good! We're not vegan, but we wanted a really healthy meal after a day traveling. The signature salad was a work of art, & so delicious. Service was excellent as well, & so were the drinks. Definitely recommend!

Visiting from out of town & found this place after walking around McGill & could not be happier with the find! Absolutely loved everything about Lola Rosa & all the small touches that made the space even more special (the notes in the drawers were so cute). We had a primarily vegetarian group & everyone was so excited about all the options & the service was phenomenal. The beet tartare was a crowd pleaser & the lasagna was the perfect end to our night. Could not recommend them enough!
During my last day in Montreal, I researched the best vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Montreal, & Lola Rosa appeared. I'm so glad I decided to make the trip (it's located in a beautiful, quaint neighborhood). I received the best service from the lovely server, Meadow, & the owner, Eric, who gave the most vibrant explanation of the menu. The Caesar salad & cheesesteak were to die for. I was happily full but still had a delicious mango basil sorbet. I absolutely loved my time in Montreal, but Lola Rosa was the icing on the cake! I recommend this plant-based diets & meat waters alike!
Excellente adresse pour les végétarien. Le choix est large & délicieux. Le service est au top. Les prix sont plus que correct par rapport à la qualité & la quantité fournit. Je recommande fortement.
Cozy plant-based mexican restaurant. Fairly small menu, would be great if they had a few taco options as well for lighter food. I got the nachos which were really tasty & super filling & the burrito which was pretty flavourless so I don't recommend that. The place could have been a bit cleaner in my opinion.
I have been going to Lola Rosa for many many years off & on. I just returned to see the restaurants painted "waiting room" colour with absolutely no character or homey energy in the space. The only charm left were the tables with the drawers holding the lovely notes. As soon as I saw the menu I knew I should have left. It was not the same eclectic diverse culinary experience. The very same menu as the Lola on William ,feels like an airplane menu. I lived in the building on William & the Lola there was horrible & expensive. I ordered the "philly cheese steak" & when the waitress put it in front of me it was absolutely terrible to look at food just slapped on a plate. I did not order the salad that comes with this item because as I looked at the other tables the salad looked like someone put their hand in a mixed salad bag from the grocery store & put dressing on it. The sandwich had three red peppers strips the size of a golf pencil , onions & the main "meat". Half was overcooked & half was undercooked. I ordered a skimpy non alcoholic raspberry lemonade. $30 with tip. Bread, satay? & a drink. I died a little inside. This was my most favourite place. The food was always memorable. They also didn't have many items on the menu & ran out of feta. The server was nice. I do not recommend to visit Lola Milton or place Des arts if you are visiting & googled "vegan restaurants". Sorry. :(
amazing vegan food! i am not vegan myself, but i love their food! the restaurant is so cozy inside, & service is amazing. i got the hemp burger, & the brownie for dessert. the bbq sauce on the burger is to die for; the burger itself is not particularly flavorful, but still very enjoyable. the brownie is amazing! not too sweet, & perfectly moist. would highly recommend coming here!

Pour une nouvelle cliente, très cool place! 😎 Super déco, super bouffe réconfortante, les gens vraiment sympathiques & endroit chaleureux pour étudier. Je recommande à 100% & surtout d'essayer la tarte au chocolat avec une boule de crème glacée fraise/basilic! Miam!
I've been coming here for the last 4 years & everytime the food & service has been spectacular. The nachos are so unique & full of flavor, I would recommend everyone to try it. The Milton branch of Lola Rosa is definitely better in terms of food & service than the Place des Arts one, speaking from experience of visiting both on several occasions. Vegan food at its best
Très bonne expérience dans ce resto vegan ! Ambiance cosy, déco en bois, service agréable. La carte est riche, bon rapport qualité-prix, je recommande ++!

My boyfriend & I come here all the time for the food but yesterday we tried their pumpkin spice latte & Carmel latte & they were both amazing. The waiters are always very nice & they even have a discount for students! I highly recommend for anyone passing by the Milton parc area
A great experience! I hadn't been here since my university days & it is always just as delicious & cozy. From the service, water refills, our plates came in a timely manner & were so good. The staff was friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend.
