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!
Amazing vegan dinner! 10/10 would recommend for an all vegan & homemade restaurant. Amazing food, service & atmosphere. The table drawers had cute notes.
Had the mushroom poutine, braised tofu & curry for dinner & the lemon pie as takeout dessert. 100% recommend the braised tofu with the green sauce

Un menu végétarien, c'est très tentant pour changer du quotidien fait de protéines & de gras. C'est vraiment top! J'apprecie beaucoup le tofu flambé, mais j'aimerais savoir s'il y a des produits dérivés du soja au menu : beignets, brochettes, lait de soja... Sert-on des produits Bio ?
J'irais bien y déguster quelques mets.
It is a very nice place, the food is fantastic & the attention is great. There are little notes in the drawers that are fun to read, lovely detail. I already had the Braised Tofu & the Hemp Burger 😋. Both delicious! I recommend 👌
EVERY ORDER (chilli, curry, braised tofu, cheesesteak, hemp burger,…) was a hit! The NACHOS are a must!!🔥We also had so much fun reading the letters people left in the drawers. & a HUGE shout out to Agathe for managing orders from our big group while being super warm, attentive, & empathetic:)
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!

This has been my favorite place to eat in Montreal so far. Really cute little place with little wooden top tables with drawers that have little notes in them various people have written over the years. The menu is eclectic but vegetarian/vegan. Has a number of hemp dishes which were unique. I had a very flavorful grilled tofu, veggies & rice dish with a really unique maple sauce. My wife had the hemp burger. Both were delicious. The carrot cake was very good. I love a good spice cake & this fit the bill. It was light on the icing which I actually appreciate but some might not. Took one point of ambiance because the acoustics of the room were very loud & seemed to amplify voices making it very hard to hear with all the folks talking at once. Will definitely visit here next time I'm in Montreal.
Cozy vegan place on McGill campus. The white lychee sangria was quite unique. The Gyro sandwich was quite good & tasted similar to the regular dish. The Philly cheese steak did not taste anything like the regular dish & didn't really work with feitan. The tofu dishes are good but ran out when we arrived. The dessert ice cream was also good. The restaurant seemed slightly understaffed as just one server handled the whole place.
My husband & I ate at this cozy restaurant yesterday evening & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I had the hemp burger with salad & he had the braised tofu dish. Dessert was the lemon square & sorbet. Everything was super yummy! Our waitress Meadow was absolutely stellar! Lola Rosa...whatever you're paying her... it's not enough! We very much appreciated her positivity & friendliness! Five stars all around for our evening at Lola Rosa!
I got the vegan gyro sandwich at Lola Rosa & let me tell you it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. As a vegetarian it's so hard to find sandwiches that are high in protein & delicious. This sandwich exceeded my expectations, & contained unique ingredients like grilled seitan & vegan tofu feta- these are plant-based protein variations that I've never tried before. The innovation is amazing. I would 100% reccomend this restaurant to any vegan/vegetarian who is visiting Montreal. I will be back again (hopefully when I get into McGill!!!) Update: It was so good, I came back the next day & ordered the same thing!

Some of the best vegan food I've ever had! The braised tofu is to die for. I ordered it 3 times in a few months. The team, service & atmosphere are a pleasure!! A must visit!
Comida vegetariana sensacional. Experimentamos em 2018 porque meu filho estava vegetariano e adoramos a montanha de nachos e a salada ceaser. Voltamos 4 anos depois e a comida estava maravilhosa. O prato de tofu estava incrível. O preço é justo, o serviço é ótimo. Detalhe: abra as gavetas das mesas e leia os bilhetinhos... pode escrever um também.
Le service fut excellent, quoi que lent au départ! Mais le personnel fut courtois.
En ce qui concerne les plats, légère déception quant à la qualité & la qualité des légumes proposés masqués par une surabondance de tofu ou de tempeh.
Lola Rosa always has the curry that I crave & it is always so good! There is added sweetness from the raisins, protein from the tofu & the seasonal veggies always keep me on my toes. Lola Rosa never disappoints. The portion for the curry is perfect & the bread is always warm.
Phenomenal food. Everything that we ordered was amazing, esp the tofu braised , carrot tartare & cheesesteak sandwich. Service was great & the food came out quickly & hot.
