When my friends heard Lola Rosa is a vegetarian restaurant, they refused to go. I had heard nothing but good things about this place but there was nothing I could do to convince them otherwise. I finally got the chance to go and boy are they missing out! We started with a demi portion of nachos - the best nacho dish in Montreal. This is not an exaggeration. This demi portion puts all other full portion sizes to shame as it is a heaping pile of crispy nachos covered with beets, avocado, chilli, cheese, black beans, and other goods. For two people this is a meal on its own, but I ordered the seitan and black bean burger and really did enjoy it. I was not too crazy about the side of chick peas it came with but I really liked the salad dressing (whatever it was). My girlfriend ordered the seitan tacos dressed with coriander and spicy mayo. The one bite she let me have was tasty, though I found the seitan to be overpowering.
Lola Rosa is a very affordable restaurant with top quality menu items that fill you up. Their dishes are packed with fresh flavours that stand out. Will definitely be going again!
