Not impressed - Edit
I had been excited to try this place due to the many great reviews and recommendations, but both my partner and I were not impressed. The food was not very flavourful and were items that my partner and I could have (and have) made before where they were much tastier and interesting.
Read moreIt was also very loud; we ended up just trying to get through our meal as the only way we could have talked was by shouting (which the other patrons were doing), and we had no interest in doing that.
Pros: Servers are helpful and friendly, "Secret" drawers in the tables to leave messages, Overall look
Cons: Dryness of food (minimal or no sauce), Lack of flavour with the food

All-round great experience - Edit
Very cosy restaurant, we sat upstairs in the “gallery”. We started with a delicious pamplemousse/pink grapefruit sparkling beverage - loved it! It was hard to choose from the variety of options, but we went with the curry and the spicy tofu with vegetables. The curry was on the sweet side, as it contains a lot of pineapple and mango. The marinated tofu with the veggies was my favorite. For dessert, we shared the lemon pie and the chocolate brownie with coconut ice cream - both fab! Final splurge was the turmeric latte : we went all out!! Our server was extremely charming and knowledgeable. Excellent value, considering the quality of all the offerings.! We will be back next time we visit!

Sorry, no 🤷🏻♀️ - Edit
My partner and I had lunch here and were underwhelmed by the experience. Not very flavorful. We ordered the nachos and the burrito and were dissapointed to see that the burrito’s filling is basically the same filling they throw on top of the nachos (which we didn’t love)…. just inside a tortilla.
Read morePros: Margaritas were good
Cons: No faux cheese, Lacked salt

Lively atmosphere, delicious food - Edit
There's a wide variety of all-vegan food here, with a good mix of comfort food (burgers, cheesesteak) and healthier fare (braised tofu and veggies). I can recommend the cajun burger and house curry. Fries are good too!

Bon resto végan - Edit
Bon menu diversifié, maintenant complètement végan.
Read moreParmi les entrées, le tartare et le plateau de "charcuteries" sont bons et bien servis.
Les quesadillas sont très bons.
La personne non végane qui était présente a adoré le burger et la poutine.
Je n'évalue pas le resto à 5 étoiles, parce que les plats ne sont pas de qualité comparable à des restos véganes comme le Sushi Momo, le Umami et autres.
Updated from previous review on 2023-10-28
Pros: La diversité des plats proposés., Le personnel de service est avenant. , Les plats sont bons et le prix est correct.

Best restaurant ever! - Edit
My absolute favourite restaurant ever! I eat here all the time for years now and never get tired of it (neither do my non-vegan family and friends who also adore it) 😍
Read moreEverything is delicious, but I recommend the nachos and cheesesteak especially!
There is also a cute private room you can book for events, which I really enjoyed for my birthday celebration.

Beautiful ambiance - Edit
I loved the ambiance and the look&feel of the restaurant. It is very french/European which is why I was disappointed that there weren't any such cuisine on the menu, but the very standard wraps, burgers, burritos. I wanted something warm so I had the chili, which was good but could have benefited from a bit more spice. The staff are friendly and nice and overall it was a lovely experience.

Food was good - Edit
I can’t remember was I had, it was 2 weeks ago, but I remember being good. We sat outside and bees were out of control, but they had warned us out of time.

Good food not great food - Edit
We stopped for lunch at the Lola Rosa located 2 doors down from Bloom Sushi. Nice outdoor patio. We had the Lola Cheesesteak sandwich, and the Cajun burger. The Cajun burger was a spicy sweet potato burger with a red pepper veggie mix on brioche, served with fries and salad (we upgraded to Caesar). The fries were good, the Caesar was really good. It was topped with fried capers and a drizzle of balsamic. The Cajun burger was too much unrelenting spice in my opinion. I’m not a chef, but I felt it needed something creamy or cool to break up the heat. The cheesesteak was sliced seitan with carmelized mushrooms, onions and peppers on ciabatta served with fries and salad (we upgraded to Caesar). The cheesesteak was the biggest disappointment. The seitan was bland and there was a creamy white sauce that we assumed was meant to replicate cheese, but didn’t have a cheezy flavour. The carmelized onions and peppers were the best part of the sandwich. For dessert we had the brownie with chocolate and peanut butter sauce. It came warm and tasty. So, a mixed bag. We would definitely have the Caesar and dessert again, but the sandwiches we tried were a bit of a miss.
Read morePros: Nice patio, Located in a pedestrian street , Good Caesar
Cons: Sandwiches weren’t great

Love Rosa - Edit
Such a cute little place! Great location with a nice atmosphere. We ate outside which was really comfy but had a ton of bees (not a problem for me but if you have an allergy I would sit inside).
Read moreWe got 3 appetizers which included: the poutine ($12) which is less like poutine but more like cheese fries. Its really good though. The tartare ($12) which is very good, the vegetables taste so fresh. The eggplant bharta ($12) which was very good but could have used a little more spice. The tartare and eggplant had bread to eat with but was easily made gluten free with chips.
For drinks I had a mocktail Laura palmer ($6) which was so refreshing. My spouse had a Moscow mule ($12) which they said was really good.
Overall it's great for lunch and isnt a vegan restaurant with really fresh food. It could use a little more spice but everything we ate was delicious!
Pros: Fresh food , Appetising appetizers
Cons: Sans spice

tasty food & big portions - Edit
lola rosa was adorable. servers were super kind & the food felt like it was made with love. the chilli bowl was more room temp & the lasagne was freakinn crazy. they were out of a few things which was a bummer & the tables are very close together to maximize seating in their small space but still happy to have found this restaurant

Stunning vegan food and atmosphere! - Edit
Absolutely loved our meal at Lola Rosa! From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were so warm and friendly. We ordered way too much food but loved it! The Eggplant bharta was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever had! The flavours were incredible. Another favourite was the Caesar salad. Everything else was excellent too. Would absolutely return

Others looked satisfied - Edit
My order was the Cajun with the fries substituted for the poutine. I did not like the sandwich because the seitan wasn't particularly well seasoned or flavoured and it was quite dry. I think I ordered the wrong items. The poutine was okay, but I wouldn't come back for it (I'd go to La Banquise). The salad was actually quite nice. I am giving 3 stars because: the service was great, my server was so nice and friendly. I also think everyone else had a good meal. I think I just got the wrong thing and I'd give the restaurant another try, but not the Cajun. To help: maybe more mushrooms and onions, perhaps something saucy, and maybe some Cajun flavours. The location was great and I really wanted to like it. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
