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 warm, cozy all vegan spot in downtown Montreal with generous portions and friendly, attentive service; the menu earns high marks for flavorful, homemade dishes like lasagna, curries, braised tofu, nachos and a range of comforting desserts, along with a playful vibe from table drawers filled with notes left by guests; while some reviews note limited salad variety and a few items that could use more sauce or seasoning, overall guests call it a must visit with good drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, and many say they will return.
I went to Lola Rosa the first time when I was doing my internship in 2010. I had a burrito & I fell in love with the taste. I was amazed at how a few simple ingredients had such a magical taste. The food was colorful, with nice touches of a green sauce on top & a very tasty tomato sauce on the side. Some very tasty Mexican rice & a small salad were giving the plate more color.
I became a regular customer & took all my friends, many meat eaters, to try this veggie food & experience the magical taste.
After 5 years of living in Ontario, I came back for a vacation & decided to have the magical experience as my last-night meal. The people were nice as always. The place was as happy as always. The burrito, God, was a big disappointment. A big tasteless wrap og black beans & a lot of rice, (i dont remember the ones i had before had this much rice if they had any) without any red sauce, colorful green sauce, Mexican rice, or salad on the side. I had better burritos at the airport 😞.
So unhappy & disappointed with the change.
P.S. the first photo the dish I loved, the second one the sad current surprise.
Really delicious! Our server was a bit inattentive & we had to wait a while for her to take our order, but the braised tofu was so good it was absolutely worth it. I couldn't really taste the caramel in their chocolate caramel tart, but it was tasty nonetheless. Definitely will return sometime!
Wonderful & very delicious food! I had the Montreal Smoked Meat which was so tasty. Mybpartner had the meatballs that were the best I ever had. To finish, the chocolate caramel tart was the perfect dessert to complete a rich meal. Everytime I'll visit Montreal I will make sure I stop by Lola Rosa!
What a great vegan restaurant! We dined here on our first night in Montreal. The staff was very friendly & all of the food was delicious. The atmosphere was quaint & enhanced by all of the'secret messages' in the drawers of all the tables (hand written notes from patrons of the past). I truly loved the nachos & chili. My wife had a great asparagus special & we shared a tasty eggplant appetizer. Nice way to start our weekend in Montreal. Thank you!
Marinaded tofu & chocolate brownie were both delish! So fresh & tasty! Service was friendly & knowledgeable & the space is cozy & charming. It's hard to find good gluten & dairy free options in Montreal -this place is a must!
I had the vegan nachos which were tasty. Meadow was such a cool, friendly waitress & the vibe inside was relaxed. I love the surprise that comes with your table & pulled the most spot on note for me & my bestie. Will definitely return!

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.
Very cute small place. Good wine card. Staff was very nice & explain the menu & all my questions as it was my first experience. Food very tasty & good textures.
This was my first visit, & I'll definitely be back. I'd never had a philly "cheese steak" before - I found it very tasty. The lemon pie didn't really do it for me, but I do have a high bar for lemon desserts.

Intimate & quaint little place, with very friendly staff & excellent, very tasty vegetarian food. nice little selection of alcoholic vs non-alcoholic beverages. Cherry on the cake - pricing is totally reasonable. Warmly recommended, would go back any time!
