Lulu’s Pasta Bar, known for its fresh pasta dishes made in front of guests, is expanding with a new location in Downtown Montreal. The restaurant will open at 1396 Boul. De Maisonneuve Ouest, taking over the previous site of Olivia’s Authentic Chicken, close to Concordia University. While the exact opening date has not yet been announced, the development reflects the brand’s growth strategy.
Co-owned by Jimmy Petropoulos and Anthy Siounis, this will be the fourth location for Lulu’s Pasta Bar, which has quickly gained popularity for its customizable pasta bowls. The new restaurant aims to uphold the brand’s commitment to high-quality ingredients served in a fast-casual environment.
Lulu’s Pasta Bar has recently expanded into Carrefour Laval, marking its first mall-based venture. In addition to the Laval location, the brand operates two other establishments in Griffintown and Quartier Latin. The restaurant concept has resonated with a diverse clientele, offering made-to-order pasta that caters to various dietary preferences.
Menu Highlights and Customization Options
The menu at Lulu’s Pasta Bar features a range of signature dishes, including Chicken Tarragon, Tuscan Chicken, and Mushroom Truffle. Unique offerings like the Creamy Cheeseburger and Parmesan Bacon fall under the brand’s creative ‘Delulu’ category. For those with dietary restrictions, the vegan section and build-your-own pasta options provide flexible choices.
All pasta is crafted using semolina flour, and sauces are prepared fresh in-house, ensuring a high standard of quality. This commitment to freshness and customization is expected to appeal to the busy urban demographic surrounding the new downtown location.
Strategic Location for Growth
Positioned in a bustling corridor frequented by students, office workers, and residents, this new address aligns perfectly with Lulu’s quick-service model. The restaurant’s combination of convenience and personalized dining aims to redefine the experience of fresh pasta in an urban setting.
As Lulu’s Pasta Bar prepares for this latest expansion, the brand continues to build on its success and engage with a growing audience eager for quality, made-to-order meals.
