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.
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!
I have been coming to this restaurant for quite some time. At my most recent visit, the food choices from the menu were more limited, I assume as a result of COVID & many less people eating at restaurants. I had hoped to sit outside & specified this in my reservation but upon arrival was told that the outside seating was for people that needed to wait. The large windows of the restaurant that are typically open at this time of year were closed so no fresh air circulation which I was hoping for given COVID & the way it can or cannot spread. I was told it was because they needed to cool the kitchen for the kitchen staff. We had the poutine as an entry. It was tasty, east Indian flavours. We had as a main, quesadillas which were good but quite thin. Would have been nice to have a small salad adjacent to the quesadillas, the plate seemed a bit empty, is the omission of the salad new? Staff was friendly & did their best to accommodate safe seating giving that I was quite reluctant to sit inside.
The food & service was great. We each had one of their burgers & they were quite tasty. The sweet potato ginger soup was to kill for! Being vegetarians, it's always delightful to go to a vegetarian restaurant & not worry about what you're eating.
