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 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.
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 didn't know vegetarian food could be good until i tried lola rosa. i came here often as a mcgill student when i lived in the neighborhood & my favourites were the spinach lasagna & the nachos. the little drawers at each table made each visit memorable. my friends & i loved to read the notes & add our own to the collection.
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.

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.
We have been longtime patrons of Lola Rosa & really enjoy the food & service. But as a neighbour all I can say about the establishment is meh. If they way they manage their wastes is any indication of the respect they show towards their neighbours this scene outside doesn't paint a very pretty picture. & it wasn't even garbage day!
Fantastic place with phenomenal vegan food! The service was very fast & friendly, & the prices were quite reasonable for such generous portions & amazing quality. The Burrito Chorizo & Queso was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to return!
