Lola Rosa Milton

I had the vegan nachos which were tasty. Meadow was such a cool, friendly waitress and the vibe inside was relaxed. I love the surprise that comes with your table and pulled the most spot on note for me and my bestie. Will definitely return!

amazing vegan food! i am not vegan myself, but i love their food! the restaurant is so cozy inside, and service is amazing. i got the hemp burger, and the brownie for dessert. the bbq sauce on the burger is to die for; the burger itself is not particularly flavorful, but still very enjoyable. the brownie is amazing! not too sweet, and perfectly moist. would highly recommend coming here!

I've been coming here for the last 4 years and everytime the food and service has been spectacular. The nachos are so unique and full of flavor, I would recommend everyone to try it. The Milton branch of Lola Rosa is definitely better in terms of food and service than the Place des Arts one, speaking from experience of visiting both on several occasions. Vegan food at its best

We have been longtime patrons of Lola Rosa and really enjoy the food and 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. And it wasn’t even garbage day!

Fantastic place with phenomenal vegan food! The service was very fast and friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable for such generous portions and amazing quality. The Burrito Chorizo Et Queso was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to return!

We went to the Place des Arts location and it is reservation only. We called the Milton location and they got us a table right away. The service was amazing with Rory, the food to die for and overall an awesome atmosphere! My sister was visiting from L.A and fell in love. Said she will be back just for Lola Rosa. I used to go to the Parc location but Milton is the bomb... Will be back soon because I kept craving the nachos since Saturday 🤤 🍠🍪🍔 We had the nachos, the Hemp burger, the cheesesteak and the brownie. 🍹 For drinks, we had the mango sunrise. Just Waouh... Everything was excellent! The portions were huge.. I don't know how I squized the brownie in but I did and it was 100% worth it. Even if you're not vegan, go try it... It's amaze-ball... I promise 👌

Celebrated my birthday here, and it was perfect! The service was wonderful, the staff was kind and welcoming. The place was so homey, cozy and cute. Everyone loved their vegan food and drinks. I had the curry, and my friends enjoyed the carrot tartare, vegan lasagna, savory salad, tacos, and the delicious tofu with fried vegetables—highly recommend it. The cozy atmosphere, with hidden letters in the tables from previous guests, makes it a unique experience. I'll definitely come back! As a bonus, they offered strawberry coulis with the vegan cake my friends brought for my birthday, and it was a perfect combination. Thank you for making my birthday so special ❤️🍰

One of the best vegan places with yummy flavors. The only thing is that the options are too few. But the warm vibes and kind service makes it worth it.

I'm not a vegetarian but wandered into Lola on a cool dreary day as it was close to the hotel. Really surprised great food and even better service and beyond reasonable. Chili was great very filling and loved the take on Caesar salad so crunchy and tasty. Will be back to try the other dishes and wonderful hospitality.

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!

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

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.

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.

I had not been to Lola in quite some time (because Covid), but a friend suggested it for lunch, and I was happy to return. The atmosphere and service are still great, but the menu is very different from a few months (has it been years?) ago. I was hoping to have my favourite vege quesadilla, but it is sadly no longer on the menu. The somewhat more limited menu made ordering with my food intolerances somewhat of a challenge. In the end, I just had a garden salad with sweet potato wedges. The food was fresh and delicious, as always. However, if you have any of the most common food allergies/intolerances (soy, sesame, wheat, etc.), keep in mind that the main courses will likely be challenging. As it happens, a number of their usual offerings were also not available when I went, which obviously didn't help matters. I'm still a fan, but I'll have to plan better the next time I go.

Great looking menu!! I got a bowl with tofu and veggies. Would've loved for it to be even more spicy than expected. Also got a mocktail, which was delish, and a stellar chocolate tarte. Would definitely come back. :)

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.

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

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.

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.

Whenever we visit Montreal, Lola Rosa is our dinner location of choice! Great portions. Great service. Great atmosphere.

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!

Courteous and prompt service, they found a seat for us even though we didn't have reservations. The food was delicious. We had the plant based cheesesteak and Bolognese and both were excellent. Finished with the chocolate pie. Highly recommended.

Vegetarian and vegan friendly- Delicious and healthy food! Great service and no wait time! Highly recommend

Cute & cozy spot in Montréal. I walked into the Milton location and was hoping that there wasn't a wait because I didn't have a reservation and it is a small restaurant (hence the cozy...lol). I was in luck because they were not busy and I was able to get a table immediately. The staff were very welcoming, attentive, and patient. I wanted something warm to drink as it was snowing and very cold outside. My server recommended the Dirty Chai, which was good, but could have been a little sweeter. They did provide extra sugar packets, but I really wanted some Agave (Which I didn't ask for ‍). I wanted to try a couple of things to eat, but I didn't want to go too crazy because I was leaving the next morning and didn't need to have leftovers and I am known to order half the menu when I have read great things about a Vegan restaurant. Anyway... I ordered the Chili, which was amazing! It was suppose to be spicy, but I didn't really get spicy from this dish. The Chili was prepared a little different from what Im used to in the States, but it didn't disappoint. I am hoping to try other menu items when I return to Montréal! I highly recommend Lola Rosa!

The food at Lola Rosa is great. The service is super hit and miss. Places Des Arts? Damn, those people are super nice and work really fast. Parc and Milton? Bruh. At Parc, I waited with a friend of mine for 45 minutes (including the 10 minutes it took for them to even notice us) and they still messed up the order by giving us rice instead of a crepe (which is an upgrade, so we paid more for something that no one checked to make sure was correct.) I went to the Milton location a long time ago and haven't been back since the menu got remodeled, but it was weird. The soup of the day was a melon gazpacho, but it was weird and sweet (I shouldn't have ordered it). I was mostly put off by the staff being super rude... But that was a couple summers ago, I only went back when I saw they veganized their menu and was curious. BACK TO PLACES DES ARTS That burrito. Was. Everything. It took 10 minutes on a busy and beautiful day. The new menu is great. Poutine, curry, etc, everything I tried was good. The servings could be a bit bigger but hey, flavour is the most important thing. XOXO

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.

Really enjoyable dining experience! The food is amazing and vegetarian! I'll be going again!

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!

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!

Brunch is lovely. Quiche is delicious. Everything here is elevated flavors and grounded goodness. Divine deserts, especially the chocolate and caramel pie. Cocktails are fresh and unique without being too overwhelmingly so. I love the invitation to leave little notes in the drawers of the tables. Charming!

loved this vegetarian place! the portion is good and the food is very yummy! Really liked the blackbean and seitan burger and the quesadilla with avocado! Their dessert is pretty amazing too! the gluten-free tiramisu one is delicious and soft! the mango and raspberry cheesecake is amazing too with very rich flavour it gets crowded during weekday lunch around 12 if you don't have a reservation, make sure you call ahead to put your name down. the service gets a bit slow during lunch time just because it is completely full

Place cozy and warm. Menu is filled with various but not many items. We had to change our order for the main meal and also for desert twice because they had gone out of ingredients. We tried the burger and the burritos both were yummy especially the burger. Prices feel ok. Service could be faster but I understand that the restaurant was full and many were waiting for empty tables. Staff are friendly and could try to be even friendlier :)

Stopped in here for lunch after a morning workshop at McGill new residence hall before heading back to work. It was fun to wander around the student ghetto and relive vague memories of being drunk a lot in the early 1990's. Not too much has changed since then... but Lola Rosa is definitely a great new addition. Wish it had been there in my day. Great vegetarian menu with lots of vegan options. I had the Tunisian ragout, very tasty and filling with just a little bit of heat. It's a cute little spot, with quick friendly service. I'd definitely come back or try one of its other two locations when in the neighbourhood. I do kinda think that they totally stole their logo from Depeche Mode's Violator album cover.

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.

I've been here three times and the food is mediocre at best. The only thing that may be fine to eat here is the nachos with the sour cream. The Portobello and dragon fruit slow-cooked stew is pretty much not edible. It's a dark brown mix of veggies and for some reason it tastes bitter.

My first stop on my first solo trip! Walked here on recommendation of a local it is was amazing. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food! I ordered the Samosas and even though it said spicy (which I'm not a fan of usually) it was the perfect amount for flavor. Tried a local Quebec beer and couldn't ask for anything better. I also found a little surprise at my seat which made my trip off to the perfect start - maybe you'll be lucky to find it too... I enjoyed this place so much I have contemplated going back again before I leave.

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.

Cute spot for tasty vegetarian food. The locations is smaller than the other one I've been to but the size contributed to the laid back vibe. We ordered the large nachos to share. It was gigantic and more than enough for 4-6 people. It is topped with tons of ingredients and all the flavours go together very well. I had the hemp burger which was yummy but a little mushy. I'm not sure I'd order that again. The service was fast and friendly. Tip: Don't drive there, you won't find parking easily.

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!

Everything was decent, but I can't believe I got served a tortilla with the Indian eggplant dish, like, c'mon do better

The food was really good! The curry had a unique sweet flavor. I wouldn't recommend the brownie is more like a chocolate cake. The service was bad it was very hard to get the attention of the waitress several times despite there was almost no people and the place being very small.

Cute vegan place in Montreal! None of us were vegan but we lean plant based, so we went while visiting Montreal and ordered the tartare, the charcuterie board, the lasagna, and the tofu. The tartare was excellent! The charcuterie board was okay, but had some weird textures/imitation meat flavors. Though the muhamara dip was really good. The lasagna was very yummy, and not super cheesy, which we liked since vegan cheese is never that good. The tofu had great reviews but we were a little disappointed, it was just okay. The dessert redeemed this place though- we had a salted caramel/chocolate pie that was outstanding!!!

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.

This is the type of places I love. The food is always fresh, healthy, well prepared and tasty. No take great food (Vegetarian and vegan options) add great atmosphere which is a mixture between student and trendy and you got yourself a winner. I ate here a view times, the salads are great the curry is spicy but you would be able to stop eating. The meals might not seem huge but you wont leave this place hungry, this is an awasome place to go alone, with friends, family or even a bussness meeting. Also I love the drawers with all the funny notes that each table has.

I used to come here all the time when I worked at the hospital before the big move. I revisited this place with a friend and it was a good experience. This isn't a bad restaurant, it just wasn't spectacular for me. It's a fairly small and compact restaurant, very clean, very rustic and cozy, even the washrooms were very clean. The service was great, the servers were very vigilant, they changed our water jug many times for fresh water. They asked several time if we were happy with our meal. I ordered the soup of the day which was good. Then I followed with chipotle chilly which I didn't find spicy. It was black beans based, with a rice layer at the bottom and a few tortilla chips to go along. It was very filling, I really enjoyed it. My only disappointment, my friend ordered a drink which had a dead fly. They gave her a new drink, but I expected them to either give a discount or offer it for free. Eventhough they didn't, we still enjoyed the overall experience.

What to get: Lola's nachos Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: Casual, trendy, dine in Wait: 45 mins (Thursday 8PM for 2) The Experience: After stalking the menu online for hours, I had high expectations of this place when we finally traveled to Montreal. I was traveling with my bff who is vegetarian, so the trip had to consist of some tasty and interesting vegetarian options. Lola Rosa's did not disappoint. I dunno why we thought this, but we winged it and just walked there without a reservation. It was quite the wait for dinner and I'm glad we stuck through it for almost an hour. The place is in a neighborhood and is a revamped garage (kinda). Hipster, trendy, or what have you, this place is packed with young to middle-aged trendsetters. Tonight we indulged in sangria, the heaping Lola's nachos, and quesadillas. The nachos were the highlight. Beautifully constructed mound of fresh ingredients, you'd be a fool not to get this. Very filling to share for two. As for the quesadilla, it wasn't the most memorable, but it helped make the meal along with the nachos. My bff and I left the restaurant stuffed and happy. Final verdict: If you're a vegetarian in Montreal, this is one of the best spots. A little different from what you normally get as 'vegetarian,' there's a reason why this place is so crowded and busy.

My non-veg parents brought me, the family's main vegetarian, to this special place for my birthday and it was truly delightful! Most of the menu is based on local and sustainably sourced ingredients, and they also had seasonal/daily specials written on the chalkboards around the restaurant. It just so happened that the special drink on my birthday was Rose Sangria using organic wine, so naturally, it was my beverage of choice. My entree lasagna was SO GOOD. Honestly, if I could I would love to eat here more often, but I definitely will come back next time I go to Montreal! Lastly, a cute characteristic of the restaurant is the guests can leave little notes in the drawers of the tables for others to read, and some of them even get hanged on the wall. Come here even if you are not vegetarian, it is so delicious that you will not regret it!

We were really happy with this spot. None of us are vegetarians, however we do have dietary restrictions and this menu didn't fail to impress. The food is so flavorful and the portions are generous so we all left satisfied and full. I had the quesadilla with the sweet potato and it was excellent. It had a little kick to it which was nice. The service was good and the atmosphere was really cute too. The only drawback is that the restaurant is on the smaller side, which makes it cute and quaint, but it does feel a little crowded and we did have to wait for a table to be available. However, it is absolutely worth the wait. You won't be disappointed!

Food was amazing and staff were friendly. Planning to eat here again before we leave Montreal.

Very good food and fresh! I'm not even vegetarian and I like it. Recommend the nachos but everything is quite good. Very nice decor and interior as well

While the emphasis at Lola Rosa is vegetarian rather than vegan, they do accommodate those of us who eschew cheese and eggs quite well. I tried both Lola locations and much prefer the location on Avenue du Parc because I prefer the ambiance. The space is larger and it's not quite as loud. The menu differs from location to location (more vegan options at Lola Rosa Parc). That said, both restaurants employ lovely staff who are accommodating and attentive. They are doing something right! If you come on in the evening, do make reservations at this location. I arrived at 9pm and the entire place was packed, save for one table, the one we had reserved. Not only was it packed, but as I mentioned before, extremely loud, to the point where we pretty much were shouting at each other (and, unfortunately, the waitress. I hate being rude). I much preferred the place an hour later when the crowd had left. On to the menu... it's well-edited. Nothing too creative or out of this world about it, which isn't always a bad thing. I ordered the soup of the day, which was a curried chickpea soup. I didn't love it, didn't hate it. I'm not a fan of completely pureed soups in general and this also needed salt. Next up, the tacos. What is really outstanding about them is the seitan, which is perfectly chewy without being rubbery and bursting with flavor. Seitan is often so bland and boring. This is the great kind! I just wish there was more of it in the tacos. Lola Rosa Parc has out-of-this-world phenomenal chickpea fries. I mean... the kind of fries that you're compelled to burn your mouth on. This location does not have them. I love those fries so much that I'm mentioning them in a review for Lola Rosa Milton, so there ya go! But what that other location doesn't have that this one does have is the Twix bar vegan dessert... a dessert in a league (or paragraph) of its own! Normally I'm too full from dinner to order dessert, but to be honest, I wasn't really in love with anything I ordered so room, I had aplenty and that's kind of serendipitous because this dessert is that insanely good.

For my first time in Montreal this food was amazing the perfect sweetness and spice. Friendly and honest service, very attentive. The atmosphere was great and the positive vibes were abundant. Quaint and small restaurant with each table have a drawer with notes from others whom had visited. That was especially unique. You'll enjoy dining at Lola Rosa.

This is the first Lola Rosa I've set foot into coming to Montreal almost two years ago. It really gave me a preview of the delicious vegan food that Montreal is quite surprisingly abundent in. And now, years later, I'm ever so happy to see it evolve and expand and bring compassion and delicious food to the world. Thank you Lola Rosa for existing!

I am *not* a vegetarian nor do I speak French but I had a great meal and experience here nonetheless. I had the Tomato Pie, a glass of Pinot Noir, Ice Cream, and Coffee: total 36.27 CAD. The place was packed when I walked in with all but 2 tables filled. Despite this I was greeted and seated immediately. Nice. The ambiance is informal, relaxed, but energetic with a little whimsy on the side. Individual tables for two get pulled together for larger groups. The menu is short but I found several attractive options. If I had stayed in the area I would have gone back to sample other options. The ice cream with almonds was outstanding and brilliant in its simplicity. When I left I felt well fed and well cared for.

I was visiting the area and happened to pop up on Lola Rosa. I liked the vibe and the food choices were good. I've been a vegetarian for over two years so when I saw they made vegetarian nachos and burritos I thought I'd give it a try. We got the nachos and the Mac and cheese. The nachos weren't bad. Overall they had a good taste but being Mexican and coming from California I want this review to be more constructive than anything else. The salsa on the nachos was too much of just a tomato blend. My recommendation would be to add some cilantro and Serrano chili peppers. This will help to add some spice and flavor to the salsa. I was actually quite surprised at the chips beans etc though. Not bad. You could even try to sprinkle some lime in there as well over the top. Not too generous. Mac n cheese. I love Mac n cheese. It was very good. Unfortunately the jalapeños that were in it had no flavor. I would recommend using pickled jalapeños as those tend to keep flavor very well. I'm not sure if you have these in canada but the favorite brand over here in the Los Angeles area is Embasa Jalapeños. Service was great and very friendly. I wouldn't mind stopping by again if I am visiting.

One of my favorite vegetarian food restaurants ever! The restaurant itself is trendy and full of personality. The food is a plus! I recommend trying the poutine here.

Brunch Review: Pros: Homemade Nutella, Bagel BLT Cons: Potatoes could be better Overview We came here for brunch because my friend was vegan! Brunch is only on Saturdays and Sundays! I've been to Lola Rosa 2 times before for dinner, but this was the first time for a brunch! They're rolling out a few more brunch menu items- specifically at the Milton location- throughout the summer. I hope to get a chance to try them out after this experience! Each brunch item came with a side of potatoes and a small mason jar filled with fruit. Mains: Bagel BLT- this was a super light and satisfying menu item. I added avocado on mine! The lettuce was fresh and crisp, the tomato was nice and not too juicy. There was a crunch from that mock bacon which turned out to be a fried rice paper! It resembled the texture of crispy bacon quite well! Pancakes- these pancakes were nice and moist but weren't really fluffy. I think they were made of banana- I didn't ask though! I will tell you though, these were served with an unbelievable delicious homemade Nutella (as well as a side of maple syrup). This Homemade Nutella spread was so good that we drove to the Williams Location to buy a jar of it right after. Sides: Fruit Jar- Damn! I hate melons...melons are nauseating to me! However, these were the best melons I ever had! They had mint and basil incorporated into it and they brought out a freshness I never knew possible. There were cantaloupe, honeydew and grape pieces in it. Potatoes- these were lightly fried and sprinkled with a bit of paprika to add colour! They reminded me of ones you'd get frozen at the grocery store, then refry it at home! They were crisp but nothing special. I ate it all so I guess that says something ‍ Drinks: Mimosa- orange juice mixed with cider, how can you go wrong? It was refreshing! Neither sweet nor strong. Service: Our waitress was very friendly and allowed us to sit-down at 11:15am when the location opened at 11:30am. She was very honest with the menu and was knowledgeable on how everything was prepared! There was one other waiter, who we felt was pressuring us to leave quickly by asking us 3 times if we were done and if we were ready for the bill- as if people were waiting for our table. There weren't, and it wasn't busy. Maybe he was just pointing out to us that bills had to be printed and paid at the cash...could be a miscommunication so I won't hold that against him! Overall I was very happy with my meal! I did not feel sleepy after brunch and felt relatively energized! Would definitely come back!

I'm not vegan. My wife and i came to eat here for lunch. I had no idea this place was vegan until my wife pointed it out. I got worried because im not a big vegan fan. My wife asked if i wanted to go eat some place else and i decided to stay and it was so worth it. Staff is super friendly. Food was delicious. Everything was so fresh and full of flavors. If i come back to montreal I will definitely come back and eat here again.
