Absolutely.Love.This.Place.
Can I emphasize this anymore? Lovely atmosphere, waiters, and most importantly... FOOD. I'm not a vegetarian, but I absolutely loved the food! I've never felt better (or healthier?!) after devouring a full plate of nachos.
It's a great place to go with friends. Also, the tables have little drawers in them where people leave little notes. How is that not a great conversation starter/cute detail?!
If you go here, do yourself a favour and order the brownie for dessert. Your mind & taste buds will thank you. -

while eating here, I totally forgot I was at a vegetarian restaurant!
The nachos are pretty popular. I might hazard a guess that around 80% of the tables at the nachos--either full portion (MOUNTAIN STATUS) or the half portion: manageable.
My friend and I shared the half portion nachos (which come with bell peppers, cheese, black beans, avocado, sour cream, tomatos, ...!) and then I had the half rosa salad and she had the lasagna.
(as with all nachos: eat quickly or else they get soggy.)
A DEFINITE RECOMMEND.
The salad was delightful: it's got chickpeas which automatically mean pluses in my book. the lasagna had spinach and looked gloriously cheesy. It comes with a side caesar salad as well.
from what I've heard, the desserts are worth a try too...but after all that food, we were right stuffed! maybe next time...we'll be back. watch out!
verdict: yes! yes! yes! yes! yes! (do I sound like a porn star yet? that wasn't my intention. I sincerely apologise.) -

Healthy peaceful little place in the McGill ghetto which survives because it doesn't gouge students and it serves up tasty veggie Mexican with a smile. Seats about twenty, decor is eclectic, pretty in pink, casual. The burritos and quesadillas are tasty by Montreal latin standards, and everything is veggie but not in a granola flavourless way.

Always a solid option in the Mcgill ghetto, good salads and nachos, very hipster looking severs and decent prices.

First thing I would like to mention is? Service was absolutely fantastic. They were really busy but when they served us, they were very friendly and very warm. We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here and they did extra service for his birthday that I didn't ask for which was turn off the lights when the cake came, not charging a cake cutting fee etc. Their food was not bad either. i didn't enjoy my polenta so much but all my other friends enjoyed their meal. The hemp burger was apparently delicious and I tried my boyfriends three cheese lasagna which was VERY good. I really liked the fact that you could opt to make your dishes vegan on demand/request. It caters to vegans out there for sure. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the neighborhood and try the quesadilla and nachos.

Love this place! Cute and cozy with delicious vegetarian food.
The menu has some soups and salads, veggie burgers and some other items. Most of the food here seems to be served with rice and a salad of some kind. I ordered some nachos and I felt like I was eating a much healthier version of them. I ordered a 1/2 portion, which was served on a pizza cutting board. The nachos were topped with cheese, avocado, black beans, tomatoes, green peppers, green beans, and sour cream. Messy to eat, but so yummy. The nachos didn't come with the side orders I mentioned before, but the meal was quite filling.
This place is around McGill University and seems to be really popular with the students. It was very busy when I arrived with my date and we had to wait around a 1/2 hour for a table. The place is small, so reservations might be a good idea!
Also, check what's inside the drawers on the tables, you'll be amused.
I'd definitely go here more often if I lived in the area. -
Review from Katherine W.

I just moved to Montreal from Houston, and my chief concern was that I would never find a place to eat a delicious burrito again. Luckily, I did. Lola Rosa's black bean burrito, while not a burrito in the traditional sense--you know, the kind you can pick up and eat and that has all sorts of stuff in it, and maybe makes you look like a beast while you're eating it--is amazing. The polenta is also good, and the pitchers of beer top off a good deal. It's a great place, and I'm sure I'll be going back often to get some more of that burrito.
Added to that, it's got a great ambience. I love the little drawers in the tables with notes, and the two guys who seem to run the place do a really good job of arranging the tables such that as much seating is available as possible. Of course, the place gets packed at lunch, so they have to make sure they don't have 2 people at a 4 top. Anyways, get here a little early so you can get a seat, and give the burrito a try. So many delicious black beans... -

What a gem! My sister had always wanted to try from Lola Rosa's selection of vegetarian food and while I was visiting town, we decided to give it a go one evening. With a pint of beer and a quesadilla before me in what seemed like no time, I quickly forgot about the bone-chilling cold wind outside. We shared a plate of the picante quesadilla, with spicy peppers and sweet potato (who woulda thought?!) and it tasted AMAZING! It wasn't too spicy, just perfect, and the dish also came with some tasty rice and a side of salad. The space is nice and small, very cozy, with comfy pillows to sit on at the tables near the window. Servers were friendly, and the selection of dishes provided a perfect variety of choices. I would definitely dine here again!

Fantastic small cafe for health conscious and tasty vegetarian food. Service has been good sometimes, slow at other times. Menu's found on all the walls or they'll bring a clipboard over with it. Their salad is quite marvelous and makes for a good meal.
They offer beer, wine and will be a great spot in the McGill ghetto for years to come. -

Stopped by for lunch to meet a friend who works at nearby McGill University. Had the Hemp Burger, which came with a pickle spear and BBQ sauce on a grilled bun, and a small side of salad and chick pea salad. I ordered a local raspberry wheat beer and enjoyed it all. The place has a modern rustic decor and is small, with tables tightly packed and is very popular. I wouldn't walk in with a huge oversized bag. On this fine day, the front windows were all open and there was a lovely breeze. Staff is bilingual.

This place is wonderful. It'll stick in your mind and you'll want to come back. The decor, the food...ahhh...
Admittedly, it's not the cheapest lunch if you're a student on a budget looking to grab a bite. But trust me, you're paying for a satisfying meal. I've tried their burgers, nachos, and some sort of polenta-based dish, and enjoyed them all. Oooh, get dessert too. You won't regret it. -

Nachos are probably the best item on the menu. If you want something filling get the lasagna. The dessert was pretty good. All the table have little drawers, the drawers have messages in them. Overall quite satisfied :)

Lovely little vegetarian restaurant with nicer than average atmosphere considering it's a mostly student haunt.
Some of the items on the menu are good while others are a little more ho-hum but the service is consistently above average. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighbourhood and need a good vegetarian option. -

Was on a trip to Montreal and this place was recommended by my lonely planet guide. Did not find it pricey as others mentioned, but then again I am not on a student budget and was looking for a good dinner while on vacation. Service was very good and wine was priced reasonably. I had the lasagna which was very filling and very good. Liked the specials written on a chalkboard when you walked in. Great atmosphere nice cafe feel.

Absolutely delicious! Close to campus, beautiful decor (loved the little notes in the drawers in the dining tables), and friendly service. A little pricey, but I think it is totally worth it to have excellent service, and healthy gorgeous food!

This is a good, cute little place near McGill campus...It's a great place to come to get some reasonably priced and healthy food near campus. The quesadillas are great and the food is definitely worth the money.

I had the seaweed salad, and a nice glass of house pinot. The salad hit the spot as an entree. I had the key lime pie for dessert, which was solid. I'd go back when I'm in Montreal again.
