“We want to be the number one vegetarian restaurant for non-vegetarians,” says Lola Rosa co-owner and manager Pascal Hourriez. A native of France, Pascal is not a chef by training, but as a young man on family vacations, his grandmother made sure he tasted the best of the two and three-star Michelin restaurants that populate Europe’s culinary community and gave him a taste for vibrant, hearty, and fulfilling food.

“We deliver comfort food most of all – lasagna, nachos, hamburgers made vegetarian, including tofu and chia seeds, but marinated in our own homemade barbeque sauce. Big servings of nachos that people can share with a beer or a drink… these are the kinds of foods that satisfy people and bring them together, give them a quality experience, and can also show them that we don’t need to depend on mass-produced or factory-farmed meat to get flavour and joy out of our food.”
