Satay Brothers propose une sélection rigoureuse de spécialités issues de la cuisine de rue singapourienne et des saveurs audacieuses d'Asie du Sud-Est. Les brochettes de viande grillée sont servies avec une sauce aux arachides onctueuse et savoureuse qui définit le profil classique des plats proposés. Le répertoire culinaire comprend également des soupes de nouilles laksa épicées, des brioches vapeur aériennes et des fritures croustillantes rappelant les traditions des centres de restauration rapide. Des herbes aromatiques fraîches, des pâtes de piment ardentes et des mélanges d'épices complexes caractérisent chaque assiette préparée au sein de cet espace dynamique et animé. La cuisine privilégie des méthodes de préparation authentiques pour garantir une intensité constante sur toutes les grillades et les plats sautés. Cette adresse constitue une référence pour la cuisine fusion asiatique accessible, mettant en valeur des textures variées et des saveurs profondes.
Satay Brothers est largement reconnu comme une destination dynamique et populaire à Montréal, célébrée pour sa cuisine authentique et savoureuse d'Asie du Sud-Est ainsi que pour son atmosphère immersive et énergique. De nombreux visiteurs soulignent que les bao buns au porc, la salade de papaye et le laksa sont des plats incontournables qui offrent constamment des saveurs audacieuses. Bien que le restaurant soit fréquemment loué pour son service amical, professionnel et attentionné, même pendant les périodes de forte affluence, certains clients trouvent l'environnement assez bruyant et bondé, notant que le partage des tables peut influencer l'expérience culinaire. Les avis sur la taille des portions et les prix sont partagés, certains estimant que les plats sont petits pour le coût, tandis que d'autres apprécient la qualité et la possibilité de partager plusieurs assiettes. Bien que l'absence de réservations pour les petits groupes puisse entraîner des temps d'attente, la plupart des clients trouvent que le décor unique et l'ambiance sociale festive valent amplement le détour.
If you are looking for an establishment that truly captures the essence of'culinary tragedy' wrapped in a trendy, hipster veneer, then Satay Brothers on Notre-Dame is an absolute must-visit. It is truly a marvel of modern gastronomy-if your idea of dining is being served by people who seem to have taken a solemn vow of silence regarding flavor profiles.
?I approached this place with the foolish optimism that perhaps, just once, the hype might be justified. Instead, I was treated to a masterclass in how to ruin perfectly good ingredients.
?The chicken satay was a revelation, provided your definition of a revelation is discovering how much gristle, fat, & despair one can pack onto a wooden skewer. It was a texture-less abyss of oily dark meat-or what I assume was meat, though I've seen more structural integrity in a wet napkin. & the peanut sauce? Calling it bland is an insult to the word. A jar of store-bought, off-brand crunchy peanut butter possesses more depth, complexity, & soul than whatever beige, lifeless emulsion they dared to serve.
?& then, the'famous' pork bun. The only thing famous about it is the sheer audacity required to charge money for such a pathetic, uninspired excuse for street food. It is the perfect meal for someone who has never ventured beyond the comfortable radius of their own driveway & thinks a dash of soy sauce constitutes'international cuisine.' Having actually lived in Vietnam & Thailand, I can confirm: I have encountered street food in a literal sewer that possessed more authentic flavor than what I was served here.
?The grand finale was the garlic bok choy-or rather, the limp, morose pile of chlorophyll-deficient sludge that arrived at the table. It was clearly harvested, cooked, & then abandoned under a heat lamp during the dawn of time. A gray, flaccid mess topped with a'garlic' so aggressively jarred & devoid of character that I suspect the kitchen staff keeps a jar of garlic-scented sawdust on hand just to avoid the strenuous labor of peeling a fresh clove.
?If you have even one lingering shred of culinary integrity, do yourself a favor: stay home, eat a piece of dry toast, & save your money. It will be the most sophisticated meal you have all day.
Been there several times over a decade, love the food but recently find it not as tasty as before, especially when it is a group of 6 by reservation & served for testing menus (fixed menu, no choice)
Papaya salad, laksa soup & fatty pork bun weren't as good as remembered (not as tasty)
A little disappointed 😞
chicken & shrimp brochettes are always the best!
Seafood chow-mein was surprisingly good 👍
$600/6 people after taxes is what you're expecting (alcohol+taxes including)
I have an incredible experience! The staff were nice & welcoming & even went out of their way to explain certain menu items, the overall decor is inviting & full of colour, & the food (the reason why we were there) was the star of the show: the fried chicken & pulled pork sandwiches were out of the world, & the fried rice du jour was oh so delicious! Definitely a must do again in my next visit to Montréal!

11/10 experience. Hands down the best meal I've had in a while. Everything was so flavourful & the service was excellent. MUST HAVE the papaya salad, pork belly bao buns, & coconut mango black rice dessert. The chicken skewers & shrimp fried rice were great as well.
Absolute must go! Walk the market & then come back here hungry to try everything on the menu as nothing disappoints. The satay is plump & juicy yet grilled to absolute perfection. The peanut sauce doesn't fight with the meats but nicely compliments the flavors. The laksa was so flavorful that the kids each are their own bowls & left no drop behind. The baos were so pillowy & the pork belly was incredible. We've come everytime we visit Montreal & the food & experience never disappoints.
?Si vous cherchez une adresse qui a de l'âme à Saint-Henri, le Satay Brothers est un incontournable absolu. Ce n'est pas seulement un restaurant, c'est une expérience sensorielle complète dès que l'on franchit la porte.
?Ce qui rend l'endroit spécial :
?L'ambiance : C'est bruyant, c'est animé & c'est chaleureux. La décoration rappelle les marchés de nuit asiatiques avec une touche montréalaise branchée. C'est l'endroit idéal pour un'date' décontracté ou une soirée entre amis.
?Les incontournables :
?Les Steam Buns (Pork Belly) : Fondants, gras juste ce qu'il faut & parfaitement balancés par les garnitures.
?Le Laksa : Une soupe épicée riche en coco qui réchauffe le coeur, surtout en hiver.
?Les Satay : Les brochettes classiques avec leur sauce aux arachides addictive.
?Le service : Malgré l'achalandage constant, le personnel reste efficace, amical & garde le sourire.
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.
This place has incredible atmosphere amazing staff & even tastier food - it's a very trendy vibe with a chill lay back touch -lighting great & music is a perfect level. THE FOOD, it's amazing I can not reiterate enough how great - please please try the pork buns & the fried rice ! Sooo great our server Mason was lovely & Frank provided an extra touch of care to an amazing service.
We visited for dinner, arriving around 5:30. There is no sign above the restaurant; you just have to know you are in the right spot.
Decor inside has a lot of dark wood & deep red. There are string lights & large cans strung across the ceiling. Music is loud but not so much that we couldn't hold a conversation or hear our server.
We did not have to wait for a seat at the kitchen bar, where we could watch some of the food being plated.
The server was phenomenal, speaking English for this monolingual tourist. He tailored food recommendations to each of us based on tastes & spice tolerance. :) His recommendations were spot on for each of us. Each food item was brought out as it was finished by the kitchen, so it was always piping hot.
The pork buns were delicious. I had leftover peanut sauce after finishing the chicken satay, which I also ate by pouring it over some of my husband's leftover rice. (My choices did not come with rice, which I thought was odd.) My absolute favorite was the black rice pudding dessert. My husband has a spice beef dish for dinner that was extremely tender & perfectly spiced according to him. His dessert was a warm cube of pressed, seasoned rice with a green, custard-y top. Also good, but not as yummy as mine!
The place is clearly popular with the locals. By the time we left, there was a line to get in.
