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.
Overall, Lola Rosa is described as a warm, cozy all vegan spot in downtown Montreal with generous portions and friendly, attentive service; the menu earns high marks for flavorful, homemade dishes like lasagna, curries, braised tofu, nachos and a range of comforting desserts, along with a playful vibe from table drawers filled with notes left by guests; while some reviews note limited salad variety and a few items that could use more sauce or seasoning, overall guests call it a must visit with good drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, and many say they will return.
I've come to Lola Rosa many times & have always enjoyed it, often recommending it to others. However, my most recent experience left a bad taste in my mouth-& not because of the food, but because of the service. Our first server was lovely, but the server who handled our checks behaved in a way that I found very inappropriate. My friend skipped the tip option on the machine, & the server snatched the machine out of her hand, canceled the transaction, & stated that tipping was mandatory! As a bartender/server myself, I agree that you should always tip your waitstaff, & I always do, even for just a coffee. I understand how frustrating it can be not to receive a tip, but the reality is that tipping is optional. If that's something you can't handle, you shouldn't be a server. & if your restaurant wants to mandate tipping, that's fine, but you should remove the "no tip" option from the debit machine & inform your customers of your tipping policy as soon as you seat them. Personally, I will not be coming back to this location.
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!
Excellente adresse ,délicieuse cuisine végétalienne, accueil très chaleureux Notre dernier restaurant avant notre retour en France.nous resterons sur une note très positive un régal pour nos papilles 😍
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!

Excellente adresse pour les végétarien. Le choix est large & délicieux. Le service est au top. Les prix sont plus que correct par rapport à la qualité & la quantité fournit. Je recommande fortement.
Niveau de bruit extrêmement élevé pour une si petite salle à manger. Il faudrait y remédier. La solution : installer des panneaux acoustiques dans votre salle à manger.
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.
