Lola Rosa was a great experience and one of the best restaurants I ate at in Montreal. The servers were new and mentioned that, but they did an amazing job. They were quick and attentive. I got a salad, which was huge and fresh. The highlight of the meal was this chocolate tarte. It was incredible. Someone else at the table got the brownie which was also great, but we don't recommend the lemon pie.
I visited Lola Rosa twice on my trip to Toronto. The first time was amazing --five stars! I was there for lunch and had the Tartare appetizer and a gyro-inspired wrap. There was a disconnect between how the gyro was described and how it was served. Specifically, the menu described it as coming in a pita but it was definitely wrapped in a regular tortilla. The taste was amazing, though, so I was happy to overlook the discrepancy. Lunch was so good that I made a point of picking up dessert later in the day--that's where things went south. I was expecting 5-star decadence and I got a tiny square of sheet cake with three dabs of frosting. One star. Go for lunch or dinner, for sure, but don't bother staying for dessert!
Two words come to my mind. Awesome time! From the vibes to the decor, I truly enjoyed my time here. Walked in without a reservation, the two of us arrived for dinner at 5:45 pm. As we waited for a table about 5 minutes, the place suddenly filled up, and it was getting fuller so I could tell it's desireable. It was our first time eating anywhere in Montreal, so it was quite an experience. I was pleased to know that our waitress was accommodating and spoke English, and oh my goodness she also spoke French as well. She was superb and made the date night even more out of this world. She had a way of relating to people...she was genuinely kind. I ordered the Quebec la glace drink, and it was soooo good and for sangria, just hit the spot. While we waited, my husband and I found these incredible notes inside our tables that were encouraging to the college students during the pandemic. I literally cried. It was a small heartwarming gesture, yet so meaningful to me that this eatery would set aside to time to lift these students. My heart melted into a puddle. This is the epitome of awesome in my book. Oh right back to the food...My hubby had the red beer which he said was nice. I decided on the hemp burger which came with a salad that was really tasty and delicious. According to the menu, my hemp burger comprised of tofu, brown lentil & hemp seed patty, BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, queso, tomatoes accompanied by mixed greens & marinated cucumbers with a sweet citrus dressing. Yum! My hub had the house curry with chickpea roti. It came with seasonal veggies: sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, turnip, tofu, coconut milk and homemade curry paste. All of this was served over basmati rice with coriander crema, mango-pineapple chutney along with toasted sesame seeds. It was so filling that my husband wasn't able to finish it...but no worries, because I did! :) I highly recommend this place. Why you ask? Because of the good vibes.
Delicious, reasonable, and close to McGill. Possibly my wife's favorite vegan place while we were in Montreal. I eat meat. Nachos were definitely delish. My cheese steak did not taste or feel like a cheese steak,, but it was good. Lots of character, as shown by keeping customer notes to the universe
We are traveling and found Lola Rosa when looking for a vegetarian restaurant - and we're thrilled with this vegan find. The food was phenomenal and the service was delightful. The restaurant itself was clean and we were entertained when we discovered notes of past diners in the drawers of the tables! Such a fun discovery! Highly recommend!!
The Lola "Cheesesteak," Poutine, and salad are good! I think eating the Poutine requires a balance of eating between the mushrooms and fries; the mushrooms, gravy, and queso offer sharp salty flavors to my taste buds while the fries offer a dulling salty taste which I think tastes better after the mushrooms + sauces flavors. The salad tastes better with the mushroom gravy and queso sauces than alone, to me. The Lola "Cheesesteak" is really good on its own though the strongest flavor of the bread is the part which has toast crunch on it: otherwise, the bread is a good case holder for other flavors. The entire meal is filling: I have leftovers. Customer service is chill and good especially for a seemingly busy night.
Well made cocktails and great selection of beers. For food, we ordered curry dish and quesadilla and both the dishes were delicious. We especially liked the cilantro dip that came with the chickpea curry.
Belle petite place sur Milton. Staff super gentil. Le pain du sandwich n'était pas trop dure ni trop mou. La "viande" bien assaisonnée et bonne texture, presque comme de la vrai viande. Je ne suis pas vegane mais j'ai bien aimé mon repas. Dans les tiroirs des tables il y a aussi des petits mots. Ça semble être laissé par les clients. Des mots d'amours, d'encouragement, etc. Le temps de lire, 20min se sont écoulés. Belle petite touche
Definitely a solid 4 stars. Ordered takeout on a weekday and it was only a 10 minute wait. They have many locations for your convenience all over the city. When I arrived to pick up my food, the place was packed. I would assume at least a 20 min wait (not sure if they accept reservations). It had a very authentic and lively vibe. The servers were friendly and helped me get my takeout fast and efficiently. I decided on a burrito made with avocado and beans. I was craving some comfort food and this definitely hit the spot. The burrito was prepared perfectly - stuffed to the makes with vegetable goodness. Oh btw this place is entirely vegetarian. The meal came with some sides too salad and rice....the rice was perfectly fluffy and so delicious. Extremely flavourful and very authentic. In all a solid takeout spot!
Update: they changed their menu and it's pricier. Food is okay. They had a potato thing with the burger and it wasn't great. Hopefully that gets better soon! What can I say that hasn't been already said about Lola Rosa? To start, this is where I bring all of my visitors to Montreal. Food: so flavourful that you'll hardly miss meat if you're a meat eater. My recommendations and to to is always the quesadilla with the sweet potato filling. So good. I also enjoy their burgers, though it does tend to fall apart. In all honesty, you could order anything and it'd be perfect. Nachos are also towering. A Service: Not only is the food perfect for people of all diets, but the servers even go out of their way to ask if anyone has any dietary restrictions - something I feel that is super important since many folks have restrictions. Your water is always full, the servers are always so friendly. Ambience and space: it's a little space but you can reserve your table in advance (highly recommended as it gets REALLY busy). There are tables that you can pull the drawers out from and read peoples letters and random thoughts. It's a bit loud so you'll find you'll need to talk louder in order to hear conversations.
Located in the eclectic and historical area of McGill. This plant based restaurant is definitely a place to try. Inside the decoration and the ambiance is very humble. About 15 tables maybe. Very cozy, perhaps too cozy... I made reservation and I am glad I did as it was packed inside. I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich with the side salad. The sandwich was great, the "cheese" was a cashew style cheese. The "meat" was also perfectly marinated, 5/5. The side salad was leafy greens and pumpkin seeds. The vinegarette was balsamic, it was good but the salad did not have a lot of dressing on it, 4/5. Service was prompt and courteous. Prices are decent. Definitely recommend read more
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Lola Rosa. The vegan restaurant features a a good selection of sandwiches, salads, appetizers and main dishes. We tried the eggplant batha and "steak" sandwich on a pretzel bun. The eggplant was full of flavor. The "steak" was seitan meant to mimic not steak, but brisket. It was very good, and we particularly like the bun. It was served with a side salad, though there was an option to substitute a sweet potato for a small charge. It is a cute little place that also has beer and wine. Sorry, I forgot to take pics of the food. read more

Yummy vegan food close to the Hilton Centre-Ville. Ordering over the phone in English for pickup was easy. Veggies were fresh and food was flavorful. We'd get take-out again from here. read more

Lola Rosa is a FANTASTIC place for cozy and satisfying plant-based meals in the McGill ghetto. It's a vegetarian restaurant but there are tons of (clearly-labelled) vegan options that I want to try. Their dishes are all colorful, vibrant, and simply but beautifully plated. The portions sizes are generous but not excessive. I also love the reasonable prices (expect to spend around 18$ including tax and tip). The interior is small but the decor is cute and homey. Honestly, this just may be my new favorite restaurant in Montreal! I had the vegan burrito stuffed with sweet potato puree, black beans, corn, and red pepper, and topped with salsa and creamy avocado-lime sauce + rice & salad. Many people recommended the Lola Rosa burrito to me, and they weren't wrong! This is probably the best vegan burrito I've ever had. read more

I've visited Lola Rosa many times over the past few years and the service and food has always been consistently good. Luckily for me, the Milton location is conveniently located about 30 seconds from work (McGill) so I get to pop in often. Usually, I get the Spinach Lasagna and Caesar Salad or the Nachos, but on my last visit, I tried the Jalapeño Mac and Cheese. It was okay - I thought it lacked flavour and could have used a bit more salt. Despite this, I've given the restaurant 4 stars because this was the first of many visits that I would have altered the dish. The Lasagna and nachos on the other-hand is a must-try! read more
Lola Rosa was slated to be our first meal in Montreal on our itinerary, but it ended up being our last meal instead (I don't think the hours posted on Yelp or on their website were accurate?). Regardless, we're glad we were able to try the food here. For lunch, I ordered the burger au chanvre (hemp burger). The bbq sauce on the burger was too sweet for my taste, and the patty was on the mushier side but the side salad with chickpeas was solid. While we waited for our food to arrive, we noticed that the tables have little drawers where people kept funny notes. Overall, my meal was reasonable priced, and I liked that there were both healthy, as well as decadent veggie options available. I saw some nearby tables order some nachos which looked and smelled enticing so I'd like to come back someday to try those. Would come back with vegetarian and non vegetarian pals alike! read more

This vegetarian gem is located on Milton in the Mcgill area of Montreal.It is not a large place but is located on a tree lined street. The service is wonderful and efficient. It was quite busy when I was there but the staff handled the crowd well and the savory food came quickly. We had a nice iced tea and sangria which were flavorful and refreshing. The food was scrumptious and well seasoned. The braised tofu was extremely tasty with a great spiciness. The aubergine had a beautiful flavor and texture and was attractively presented. The strawberry sorbet desert was icy and refreshing ending a great meal. read more

Such a unique place, 10 minutes from downtown, and the serve really good food! We were a party of 7, so we got to try many of their plates . We started with the big nachos for the table, with their homemade vegan cheese, and sour cream on the side (for us the vegan). That was AMAZING!! Then we tried their different world plates - Indian curry, Mexican burrito and Tunisian ragout. The burrito was our favorite, but all the food was delicious. read more

Located on the outskirts of McGill's campus, Lola Rosa is the perfect destination for someone looking for a quality vegetarian meal. I got the burrito which was delicious! As someone who eats meat at every single meal, I have always been skeptical about vegetarian food; however I always leave satisfied when I order the burrito. The portion size is hefty and the presentation of the food is phenomenal. My only critique is that the food could be a bit more flavorful, however that issue is fixed when you put the hot sauce on the burrito. While the food I received was excellent, the service was not up to par. My friend and I were seated at the same table as a boisterous party of four, and when we asked our waitress to be seated at a separate table they claimed that the table was "reserved", however no one showed up to take the table the whole time we were there. In addition, when I asked for hot sauce for my burrito, I was told that it costs 50 cents, even though the previous four times I've been to this restaurant it's been free of charge. read more

The perfect place for vegetarians to take their omnivore friends! Most of my friends are vegetarians, one is even vegan and gluten free, so Lola Rosa is always a safe bet. I've been to Lola Rosa at this location at least 20x and have yet to be disappointed. I've tried most of the dishes on the menu and I have always been pleased. The ambiance is lively but not overwhelming. Try to make a reservation ahead of time and a line generally builds around dinner time. I would recommend the red sangria over the white/cider one! read more

Lola Rosa has been on my list for a while. My friend and I were in the neighborhood, and we went in for a late lunch. It's a cute rustically decorated restaurant. Their specialty is Mexican and vegetarian food. It's a small place, and it's cozy. I asked for a tequila with orange juice (want with grapefruit but they didn't have); when my drink arrived I found a fruit fly in my drink, I notified the waitress, she apologized and took way my glass, and made me a new glass, and she apologized again and again. The drink was perfect not too much of tequila and not too much of orange juice. I ordered spicy spinach Mac n Cheese, and it came with side salad. The salad was simply ordinary. The Mac n Cheese was spicy but super delicious. The spice was great zing to the dish. After we finished, we were told not to rush, whenever we want we can pay at the cash. As I mentioned, it's a nice cozy spot, after lunch, we continue to chitchat, the service still continued with filling our water jugs. read more
