Lulu's Pasta Bar
Take Your Teens Downtown for a Fresh Pasta Bowl They Will Actually Want to Talk About!
Lulu's Pasta Bar is a Montreal pasta bar concept built around one idea: fresh pasta made to order, served in a bowl, with a menu wide enough to satisfy teens who want something familiar alongside those with more adventurous tastes. The pasta is made using semolina flour and shaped into three forms, rigati, campanelle, and casarecce, then paired with a choice of sauce and toppings from a menu that spans classic combinations and bolder, more unexpected creations. The Downtown location on Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest is a short walk from the Guy-Concordia metro station, making it an easy addition to a day out in that part of the city.

Highlights:
- Fresh Pasta Made to Order: The pasta is prepared to order using semolina flour and comes in three shapes: rigati, campanelle, and casarecce.
- Classic Dishes Alongside More Creative Options: The menu is divided into Classics and Delulu Creations, the latter being Lulu's term for its more inventive combinations. Classics include dishes like Mushroom Truffle, Tuscan Chicken, Parmesan Bacon, and Mediterranean, while the Delulu section leans into combinations like Creamy Chicken with Mike's Hot Honey, Creamy Pepperoni with Roasted Garlic, Creamy Cheeseburger, Creamy Taco, and Black Garlic. There is enough range that teens with more adventurous tastes and those who prefer something familiar can both find something that works.
- Build Your Own Bowl Option: For anyone who wants more control over what goes into their bowl, the Build Your Own option lets you choose your pasta shape, sauce, protein, and extras independently. Sauce options include tomato and basil, rosé, creamy pesto, parmesan, bolognese, and extra virgin olive oil, with proteins including bacon, chicken, ground beef, and taco style ground beef, and a selection of add-ons like caramelized onions, spinach, mushrooms, feta, cheddar, and chili flakes.
- Vegan Options on the Menu: Lulu's offers a dedicated vegan section with three dishes: Lulu's Tomato and Basil, Vegan Rosé, and Vegan Parmesan. The pasta itself is described on the website as fresh vegan pasta made with semolina flour, which makes these dishes a genuinely viable option for teens who do not eat animal products.
- Desserts to Finish: The dessert menu includes tiramisu, small cannoli, a Nutella cornetto, and lemon cake, which rounds out the meal for anyone who has room after the pasta.
Recommended Audience:
This is a good outing for parents with teens and young adults in Montreal who enjoy trying something a little different, with a menu that covers everything from classic Italian combinations to more creative dishes, and a build your own option for those who want full control over what goes in their bowl.
What to Expect:
A casual, counter service pasta bar where fresh pasta is made to order and served in a bowl with a wide range of sauce and topping combinations, including a build your own option for those who want to customize their meal.
