If you live in or near Westmount and love vegetarian, you will be happy to know that the famed Milton ave. eatery Lola Rosa's has opened a new location as of yesterday 11 am on Sherbrooke near the Bureau en Gros. I spoke to Eric, one of the co-owners about the lack of seating (there are only 3 tables and a counter) and he said for now they will catering to mostly take out clientele. There may be more tables eventually. Their menu will be similar to the one on Milton and if you are not familiar with it, here are a few dishes they will be offering: Vegetarian chili, Indian curry and tunisian ragout; sandwiches and paninis, quiche, boerek. Their desserts have always been a big hit, especially their brownie, which is not presently on the menu, but he said should be soon. Right now, they only have about 30 to 40 % of their menu. Other desserts include key lime pie, chocolate banana pie and cheesecake.
Eric told me that most ingredients are fresh and local and 40 - 50 % are organic. Las Fincas is the brand of coffee they serve. It is organic and imported. Pascal, co-owner no 2, said that Las Fincas is fairly traded although not certified.
Pascal said if you bring your containers or lug a mug, you will be entitled to a 50 cent discount.So for those keen on reducing trash, Lola rosa's offers an option.
They will be doing taste tests (free) all week for people from 11-3.
You might want to speak to chefs, Shayle or Michael if you have any questions.
Lola Rosa's on Sherbrooke in Westmount. 11-3.
