Satay Brothers comes across as a beloved, high energy spot in Montreal offering vibrant Singaporean and Asian fusion with a strong emphasis on sharing plates, perfect for groups and celebrations. Diners praise the food as consistently flavorful and bold, with standout items such as pork buns, papaya salad, laksa, satay, and various curries; the laksa is repeatedly cited as outstanding, the buns as must try, and the group menus highly recommended for big parties. The atmosphere is described as lively, noisy, colorful, and festive, with decor reminiscent of night markets and a hip, bohemian vibe, and the drinks including pandan daiquiri and spiked lemonade add to the experience. Service is frequently highlighted as attentive and friendly, able to accommodate dietary restrictions, though some reviews note that on peak nights service can feel stretched and wait times long. The staff are repeatedly thanked for going above and beyond and the venue is seen as an authentic, welcoming gem with a loyal following, often recommended for both casual nights out and special occasions. Reservations are not always available; guests often wait at a bar next door and still enjoy strong overall value and quality. Overall the consensus is that Satay Brothers delivers delicious food, vibrant energy, and a standout dining experience that keeps bringing people back.
Good food & good vibes ! Also like that we can wait at their bar next door for a table! Our server was so nice, she was very present & attentive even if she was very busy.
Une expérience, un univers quand tu passes la porte, cool place to see! Merci pour le rapide service & la cuillère de bouillon pour me faire gouter le degré de piquant, malgré l'achalandage!

Top tier place with great staff, great for sharing a ton of dishes with friends. The atmosphere is great but it's a shared table style especially when it's busy. Be ready to sit with some strangers, such a great vibe between the staff & the people though it's an awesome experience with great food.
Had my birthday dinner here & it was fantastic! The set menu is reasonably priced for the amount of food you get, & they were super accommodating to a variety of dietary restrictions. The food was delish, vibes were wonderful & everyone had a great time.
I can't say it enough, but Satay is a staple every time I come to town. Alex & his team never miss a beat with their food & truly the best atmosphere. Do not miss the bao buns. & beef rendang.
Such a fun place for a bday group supper. Great service , loads of delicious platters, fun music, fun crowd. Pitcher of spiked lemonade cocktail was only $32. Even found a Karaoke party room down the hallway . Decor is wonderful & despite the lineup, our reservation was ready & platters were quick to arrive . Big thumbs up to Carl our waiter.

Favorite Montréal hidden gem. Everything's delicious & shareable which I love. You order & get the food right away. Great spot to go to with friends. Super affordable too!! Papaya salad is BOMB & you have to try the Bao buns
Run! Don't walk - to Satay Brothers. If you're in Montreal, this is the place to go. We made a reservation for a group of 7 & the experience was awesome. We went for the $55 (CAD) tasting menu & it was so worth it (fyi, this option may only be available for groups of 6+). Every plate was flavorful & delicious - our favorites were the chicken & shrimp skewers, fried chicken, laska soup, & the ribs. The atmosphere is poppin'. YDefinitely gets pretty loud inside, but overall a very fun & lively vibe. 10/10!!
