Pretty good vegan restaurant right outside the hotel I stayed at recently! Seriously, it was across the street and the sign said 'vegetarien' so obviously it was a sign that it had to be my first stop before anything else.
I wish they had this in the greater toronto area. It's so cute, and definitely reminds me of something in kensington market (downtown toronto). Lola Rosa is huge and has the hipster-type of feel to it. Service was friendly and there were zero problems communicating. We ordered a sangria, which was HUGE and between 3 of us, we could barely finish. We all had a serious case of munchies (perhaps from something.. y'know..) and this was the perfect place to satisfy our hunger.
Everything here is vegetarian, and 80% of the menu you can change to make vegan (they have daiya cheese!!!) I had the quesadilla, which I found hard to finish because the portion was so big and it also came with rice and a side of salad. It was unbelievably good though.. I also ordered the chickpea/corn fries and they were soooo good. My friends said they tasted like cassava. I kept eating and eating until my stomach literally HURT and I still couldn't finish it.
Needless to say, my case of the munchies had turn into a case of itus until the AM.
I definitely would not hesitate to return to lola rosa next time in montreal.
