Lulu's Bar à Pâtes / Pasta Bar is widely praised for fresh, house-made pasta, flavorful sauces and generous portions that make each dish feel substantial. Diners appreciate the casual, welcoming atmosphere, the visible pasta machine, and service that is efficient, friendly and attentive whether dining in or taking out. The menu invites customization, with options to choose pasta shape, sauce and toppings, and the quality of ingredients and al dente texture is frequently highlighted. Value is commonly cited, with large portions for the price and dishes arriving hot and well seasoned. Some reviews mention a lack of vegan protein options and gluten-free pasta, and a few note crowding and noise during peak times or busy deliveries, but these do not overshadow overall satisfaction. Overall, Lulu's seems to deliver reliable, high-quality pasta, strong portions, and a vibrant, welcoming environment that draws regulars and visitors alike.
Top food & top service just like their original Notre-Dame location. It's a perfect lunch & the portions are so good for the price, I often have left overs for next day's lunch. They must treat their employees really well because the service is always a 10/10. They deserve their success & hype. Really hope they continue to grow & don't lose their quality & attention to detail ❤?
Pasta was amazing, no complaints. Great portions, a bit pricey. The prices are similar to dine in restaurants. The service was terrible, the cashier was very rude after realizing we didn't understand French. The wait time in line is over 10 minutes, & waiting for food is another 15. The place itself is very small, & not ideal for dining in.
Absolutely delicious! The service was very quick & friendly. I ordered the creme taco pasta for takeout. The portion size was huge for the price. I couldn't finish it all! The sauce was creamy & well seasoned. The fresh pasta was tasty as well.
Stumbled upon this gem that just so happened to be near our hotel. The fresh pasta is absolutely divine, the texture is so good & the portions are generous. As a drunken snack, it was like eating a bottomless bucket of pasta. Even day after cold leftovers tasted delicious. Serving it in a paper bucket made this seem so unassuming but honestly better than most high end Italian restaurants. We ended up going twice on our weekend stay in Montreal as it was better than anything else we had on our trip there & also had the best price & value.
This was a great experience at a truly unique & authentic fresh pasta spot. They specialize in three distinct types of freshly made pasta, & since we were a group of three, we were able to try a different kind each. The person at the cash register was incredibly kind & helpful, taking the time to explain the different pastas & how their simple menu works. Once we placed our order, we were amazed at how quickly it was prepared & brought to our table. The quantity was surprisingly generous-far more than we anticipated for the price-& it was also a great value. The meal was so satisfying & filling that it kept us full for the rest of the day. We had it for a late lunch & were still so content that we only needed a small snack for dinner that evening. This is a place I'd highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality, handmade pasta in a great environment.
Price? Excellent - $33 for two people with drinks & extra cheese.
