Review Summary

Overall, Sae Low offers a bold, inventive brunch and breakfast menu that blends Southeast Asian flavors with comforting staples, featuring items like a buttery croissant with silky poached eggs and a spicy kimchi inspired breakfast sandwich, along with creative riffs such as tofu and miso dishes, spicy noodles, and baos. Reviews praise bright flavors, varied textures, and standouts like beef tartare and matcha desserts, while noting that portions can feel small for the price and a few plates could benefit from a side or balance. The service is described as friendly but occasionally disorganized, while the atmosphere is lively and convivial though not particularly polished. Sae Low is seen as having strong potential and a willingness to return to try the evolving menu and new twists, with many guests calling it worth a visit for curious eaters.

I went to Sae Low, a French & Asian fusion morning spot by Chef Minh, & I was genuinely impressed.

I had the eggplant tofu croissant with peanut sauce & chili oil crisp. It was incredible. Every bite had a mix of flavors that reminded me of my Asian childhood, combined with a perfectly executed French croissant. It felt both nostalgic & new at the same time.

The menu is small, around 7 to 8 items, but that actually made it harder to choose because everything sounded good. You can tell each dish is well thought out & intentional.

I asked the server for a recommendation & went with the eggplant croissant. I was unsure at first, but it ended up being the right call.

I would definitely come back, ideally with someone else so we can try more dishes.

Food was pretty good. I loved the flavours of the breakfast sandwich. However i thought the price was pretty steep for just a sandwich. I have would appreciated it more if it came with a side of house salad or hasbrowns/tatertots/potatoes. Just a little something on the side would've been nice since it is $19 +tax & tip. & presentation wise, a lonely sandwich on a circular plate looked kinda sad.

The rest of the dishes were good. I also like to give a special shoutout to the french toast; fresh pineapples!!!!
It's a small detail, but seeing them prep the pineapple in the kitchen wowed us since a lot of places would use canned pineapples.

The staff were very friendly. We were a group of 4. Most tables were for 2. We were pretty flexible so we decided to split our group. & when they were able to sit us together, they informed us immediately & helped us move.

Worth to try at lease once!

Don't come here if you speak English. Was excited to try this trending spot in the neighborhood but when I called & spoke English to request a reservation I got hung up on immediately. I went anyway, as I'm getting used to this treatment in Quebec. During service the waiter was rude & seemed only interested in providing service to my French partner. I actually enjoyed the food so by all means try it out, but the attitude here killed any chance of me recommending or returning.
