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.
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.

The food here was good & decent amount of options. The atmosphere was quite nice with tables with drawer full of handwritten notes. Great place to sit down with friends & get plant based food.
This all vegan restaurant was very cute & the food was quite good. Our waitress was very friendly & pretty on top of it despite seemingly having to serve the entire restaurant on her own! I would recommend you try this place out!
There are hundreds of restaurants in Montreal serving a good meal, but this is the place to go if you want something better. We found this little gem of a restaurant while searching for a vegan restaurant, & we will definitely return. You can see & taste the care & effort they put into their food, & the staff were so kind & helpful. Great food, good prices, nice people. Their high ratings are well deserved. Thank you, Eric, for the lovely experience & the molten brownie.
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!
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!
On était pas allé depuis plusieurs années!! Le resto était pas occupé mais Il y a eût un homme français qui nous a vite acceuilli avec une gentillesse & efficacité!!Il nous a dit qu'il pouvait nous donné toutes les explications concernant le menu encore une fois friendly & très agréable!! La bouffe avait toujours été très bonne mais ya plusieurs années le service pouvait être pas mal lent!!On était trois & on regardait travailler cet homme qui était aussi bon en français qu'en anglais,il y a même un groupe de 6-7 personnes qui sont entrés & avait l'air a vouloir repartir en voyant que la place était peut être trop pleine pour qu'ils puissent trouver des places ensemble & vite il les as acceuilli & a déplacer une où deux table pour qu'ils soient bien & confortable!! On a très bien manger aussi, très très bon!! Merçi notre expérience as été très agréable,on vas vite revenir!!
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!
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!
