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.

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.

Overall the consensus is that Satay Brothers delivers delicious food, vibrant energy, and a standout dining experience that keeps bringing people back.
J'ai adoré mon expérience! Nous étions 4 & avons partagé 6-8 entrées & plats afin d'essayer le maximum d'items. Sans réservation, nous avons attendu environ 30 minutes mais avons pu attendre dans la section bar alors c'est passé incognito comme attente & ça a commencé notre soirée en force. Nous aurions aimé être dans la salle principale pour profiter de l'entièreté du décor mais celle-ci semblait réservée pour les groupes de 6-10 personnes avec réservation. La musique est assez forte alors peut-être pas l'endroit idéal si vous avez de grandes discussions à avoir. Je serai assurément de retour!
We arrived around 5 pm & the restaurant got packed quickly. After having the food I understand why, everything came out fresh & tasting. We had the standard 5 meal tasting, worth it trying.
Went with a group of 12 & did the tasting menu. Food was exceptional, insane value! Service was excellent. They made exceptions for our friend who has celiac & for those of us who don't eat seafood, with no issues. Music was top tier. One of the best group dining experiences we have had.
Les plats sont bons, portions correctes. Décoration très belle. Musique un peu trop forte. Service, peu mieux faire. Je reviendrai cependant car on peut avoir ses mauvais jours.

This was my 1st time dining here & just loved it. We asked the waiter to choose for us & everything was delicious, their seafood is super delicious! The nice folks who work here are great. Looking forward to my next visit !
Fantastic for large groups with a reservation way ahead. Food is to die for. The pork buns are heavenly. Only thing that makes me remove a star is the severe 2hrs slot allotted for groups. We had to eat so fast! I would pay an extra to add an extra 15 or 30 mins 🙏🏻
Excellent service & food here! We ordered a mix of various dishes & tea! The atmosphere, with the lanterns & paintings, was very unique & memorable. The staff were incredibly friendly & made us feel at home! We can't wait to come back!
J'adore cet endroit! L'ambiance est toujours incroyable & le staff est généralement chaleureux. Je recommande vivement leur salade de papaye verte en entrée! Leur options végétariennes sont super bonnes aussi. La raison pour laquelle j'enlève une étoile est parce que la dernière fois que j'y ai été les plats avaient un goût « victime de leur succès »... La sauce dans les buns était beaucoup trop sucrée & celle du poulet frit trop salée. Peut-être qu'une nouvelle recrue a de la difficulté à doser? Sommes toutes, vaut votre argent. Bonne chance pour trouver du parking!
The food was delicious. The dense & spicy chicken soup is perfect for a cold winter day. The ribs was well marinated. The sandwich looked like a normal sandwich but was surprisingly tasty! The only issue was that we were sat in a very ill lit corner of the restaurant. It was very difficult to see the menu or even the food. The picture were taken using nightmode, it was a very very dim corner. They certainly need more lights there.
Easy to miss on the street but this place has amazing Singaporean food, has great energy & is very unique. Also it gets packed so expect a wait (it's worth it!)
