Satay Brothers

Satay Brothers is a colorful restaurant serving Singaporean dishes, located near the popular Atwater Market. I visited on a Saturday evening, & the place was packed. There was a short line at the door, & we waited about 20-25 minutes before being seated at the bar, which worked out just fine.

The staff were very friendly & welcoming. The host at the entrance, whose parents run the restaurant, was especially warm, & both the bartenders & servers were attentive despite the weekend rush. That said, if you go on a Friday or Saturday night, I recommend putting in your order quickly since service can feel a little stretched when it's busy.

I ordered the Char Kway Teow ($20 CAD), a stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp, clams, & Chinese sausage. The flavors were good & matched the menu description, but my only disappointment was that the portion size felt quite small for the price.

The atmosphere is what really stands out: bright decorations, colorful energy, a mix of people enjoying both food & drinks, & hip-hop music adding to the vibe. It's definitely a spot for more than just eating-it feels like a place to hang out & soak in the energy.

Overall, Satay Brothers is a fun, vibrant place to enjoy Singaporean dishes in Montreal. If you want to avoid the wait, try going on a weekday, but if you don't mind the crowd, the weekend buzz is part of the experience.

Eaten here 4 times, tonight had papaya salad, satay chicken & shrimp squewers, fried rice, pork buns, coconut beef, spicy veg, & salmon. Everything delicious, well presented, great service. No complaints at Satay.

Edit -- I went again & ordered the skewers & the caramelized coconut milk dessert (with mango, sticky rice & some seeds) -- portion size was small for skewers but they were pretty good especially the dessert.

We ordered 3 items in the Lunch menu -- all underwhelming & tiny portions. The egg fried rice was the worst I ever had :(

Had a booking for 8 on sunday at 7:30pm. When we entered, the place was packed with other groups. I thought the service or the food would be slow to come out but i was definitely wrong.

Our waiter was really nice, explained the food, & made sure my friend with a food allergy got a suitable replacement.

The food was a set menu for the entire group. 7 plates for 55$. Every plates was delicious, i thought I wouldn't be filled initially but i was wrong again. There was barely any downtime between plates coming in which was nice. The plates were mainly meat (chicken skewers, fried chicken, ribs, lamb, pork bao bun) which was perfect for me.

Overall, food, service & atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend going there to everybody.

One of my colleagues highly recommended this place (infact she was adamant we try it out) & glad we took her recommendation! Got to try a few things on the menu & most of it slaps. Definitely check out the fried chicken buns & the skewers. Flavourful, fresh ingredients & the skewers had a unique smokey but a piercing marinating sauce effect to it - gotta try it to believe it. If you're in the area or want something different - check it out!

The food was great & so was the service. The chicken satay skewers were probably the best thing we had. The bao buns were very good as well. The fried rice was good but not our favorite thing on the menu.

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!!

Come early on a Saturday cause it gets busy. The food was fantastic. Can't say enough about the rice & fried chicken. You gotta try it. Place is bumping so expect to wait if you are late

We had the canvas club's painting event at Satay Brothers. It is a vibrant & colorful place. The decorations mixed of retro & slightly gothic. Busy night, the staff were getting delayed with their services but it was super friendly. We had steamed bun, satay shrimp skewers, fried chicken satay & cocktails. Every single dish was so delicious. The canvas paint event was awesome, thankful to Satay Brothers for hosting it.
