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.
Nous avons adoré ce restaurant. Les plats étaient incroyablement bons, bien assaisonnés & servis avec soin. Le service était rapide & professionnel, & l'ambiance très agréable. Un endroit à découvrir absolument!
Ambiance & decor is very cool. First time enjoyed the food selection & drinks, although it was a bit loud. Tried it for a second time & have to say the food was mediocre & service wasn't great. Depends on what you're looking for if it's more of an ambiance vibe with drinks this is a good spot but food & service could be better in my opinion.

Always great vibes, great food & a great time at Satay Brothers! They slid us in before a reservation, but we never felt pressured & the service was amazing.
Never again! Our server was so stressed about making sure that we stayed there for 2 & 2 hours only (after reminding us at least 5 times) that even in the last 10 mins he was watching our remaining plates like a hawk. Going to a restaurant is not just about the food, it's also about the experience & because of the rushed pressure to turnover, our experience was garbage.
Belle atmosphère, nourriture vraiment bonne mais un peu chère pour la quantité dans l'assiette. Un endroit sympa pour passer un bon moment entre mais clairement pas l'endroit pour manger un repas copieux ou alors ça va vous coûter un petit billet!

We had a great experience. The service was great. They even accomodate to have the tasting menu even though we were only four
I highly recommend this place
Had an amazing time! The courses were expertly selected by our waiter & were all delicious! The music & vibe were awesome! Will definitely be going back again on our next trip to Montreal!
Nous avons essayé plusieurs plats à partager & nous n'avons pas eu de coup de coeur mis à part le rouleau de riz frit en entrée. On m'a dit que le bun vapeur au porc est très bon, mais nous ne sommes pas du même avis. Les plats manquaient de saveur & le service n'était pas chaleureux.
We were two seated at the first bar. The bartender was really joyful & made really good cocktail even though this is not a cocktail place. Plates were also tasty & portions were big enough. It was a bit on the salty side so watch out for that! The ambiance is more on the active side. Music is lively.
It's always such a pleasure to dine here. I brought in my colleagues, most of whom were travelling from all over Canada, for a holiday team dinner & the crew was very accommodating despite there being multiple dietary restrictions/allergies. Everyone was blown away by the food & ended their meal by saying that they couldn't wait to come back with their loved ones when travelling to Montreal again. Thank you all for the amazing food & vibes!
