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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!

Lola Rosa in Montreal is a fantastic spot for vegan dining! The staff are incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain each dish & make recommendations. The Gyro sandwich is an absolute must-try-flavorful & satisfying. The chili is excellent, hearty, & packed with taste. The queso burrito is another winner, bursting with deliciousness. Don't miss out on the lemon pie; it's a perfect balance of sweet & tart. Overall, Lola Rosa offers a delightful vegan experience that leaves you wanting more!
Amazing spot to dine if you are a vegetarian or vegan! Stopped by early in the afternoon & received a warm & hospitable welcome! We had the steak & cheese sandwich & the burrito & they were absolutely outstanding! Prices were very reasonable which is hard to find these days!

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!
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. :(
The best Vegetarian / Vegan spot we've been to in a long time, the dishes are cleverly crafted & our host Meadow was a delight to interact with! We'll be back with friends.
I'm personally not a vegetarian nor vegan, but certainly open to try new ways to enjoy lunch or dinner. The food was really good of taste (complements to the chef). & the lady of the house was also very friendly during service. Enjoyed the atmosphere in the room. Certainly will advise this place to friends travelling to Montreal. Greetings from a Belgium visitor.
