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.
Satay Brothers has the most amazing staff who are attentive, kind & genuinely helpful. Not just one or two of them... ALL of them. 😍
Everything we ordered was delicious & the atmosphere was vibrant. I brought my elderly parents to try their street food on a Saturday night. It was a full house & naturally a little too noisy for them, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.
Absolutely amazing place for its food, environment & the service. I immediately feel in love with this place after my first visit. Friendly owner Alex & nice bartender Elodie gave me the best dining experience even if I was alone. Congratulations for the amazing job!
Comme toujours, tout était parfait! Les cocktails (pisco sour, margarita XXX, etc.) sont goûteux & généreux! Les buns au porc sont succulents & à eux seuls valent le détour! La salade de papaye est un must, le poulet frit, le chou mein aux fruits de mer, le boeuf braisé aussi.
Les suggestions de Ropes sont toujours excellentes & son service est impeccable. Nous venons de l'autre bout de la ville & nous n'avons jamais de regret! Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe du Satay Brothers! We will be back!

3e visite en formule de groupe. Encore une fois bluffé par la nourriture. Ce fut EXCELLENT!
Chaque bouchée est une explosion de saveur. Je recommande fortement & compte y retourner!
Wonderful experience at Satay Brothers Resto 3721 Notre-Dame. Marco & Ropes provided exceptional customer service from the moment we arrived. Warm, welcoming, & genuinely attentive. Their hospitality, thoughtful recommendations, & positive energy made the visit memorable & reflected a team that truly cares about what they do. It's clear this restaurant is built on passion, teamwork, & pride in service. We look forward to returning again & wish the entire team a Happy New Year & continued success!
L'ambiance & la décoration sont très sympathiques. Pour moins de quatre personnes, pas besoin de réservation, mais il vaut mieux venir tôt afin d'éviter la queue. Les bao buns au porc sont absolument délicieux, à ne pas manquer ! Le service est impeccable, chaleureux & souriant. Une adresse à essayer sans hésitation
Great spot for a group outing, especially if you go with the group menu. The food is good & offers a nice variety that really opens up your palate to new flavors. Perfect for sharing, trying different dishes, & enjoying a collective dining experience.
Peak. Montreal. Restaurant. Delicious food plenty of options for sharing (as well as vegetarian options for us veg heads), delicious cocktails, & excellent service, it also has an amazingly beautiful eclectic atmosphere inside, definitely a little bit loud sometimes but that comes with the territory. A must try if you're in the area!

Food is normal, portion is small, default tips 18% but no service, seat very crown & uncomfortable (remember most hotel restaurant default tips 15% only) Never coming again!
Je suis entré avant 17 h, mais à peine le repas presque terminé, la serveuse a commencé à nous mettre une pression évidente pour que nous quittions les lieux.
En l'espace de cinq minutes, elle est venue enlever les assiettes plusieurs fois, alors que nous mangions & buvions encore.
Je comprends son point de vue, mais il était clair qu'elle ne se souciait absolument pas de nous faire passer un moment agréable.
Cette attitude a complètement gâché l'expérience.
Je n'y retournerai pas.
Such a vibe! I loved the homey & friendly vibe when I walked in~ Everyone is packed pretty tightly in there though, so get ready to get close & personal. I thoroughly enjoyed the Laksa, pandan daiquiri, & the desserts [Kueh Bengka & the special (sorry forgot the name but was so good)]. Wish I could come back to try the other items!
Came to montreal on a trip from Toronto, this was the best meal I ate by far, & I had some good food. Everything was amazing but the shrimp skewers & pork belly buns were phenomenal. Great vibe too.
