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.

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.
We ordered the Beef Skewer, Char Kuay Teow, Laksa, & Steamed Bun.
Overall, the food was quite salty. The Steamed Bun & Char Kuay Teow were especially so. The Laksa & Beef Skewers were okay but didn't quite live up to expectations.
The service & environment were great though, with lovely themed decorations. It's a nice spot for gatherings & catching up with friends.
Overall it was a decent experience, just keep in mind that the food might be a bit much if you're not a fan of salty flavours.

On a commandé des Brochettes de Boeuf, du Char Kuay Teow, du Laksa & des Brioches Vapeur.
Dans l'ensemble, les plats étaient assez salés. Les Brioches Vapeur & le Char Kuay Teow étaient vraiment trop salés à notre goût. Le Laksa & les Brochettes de Boeuf étaient corrects, mais pas aussi bons qu'on l'espérait.
Par contre, le service & l'ambiance étaient top, avec une déco thématique vraiment sympa. C'est un endroit parfait pour se retrouver entre amis.
En gros, c'était une expérience correcte, mais si vous n'aimez pas trop le salé, c'e

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.
Thought I had covid when I ate the chicken laksa because it tasted like water down version of a laksa that you can get in Asia. The food presentation looked right/fine, portions were small-yish (got chicken satay as well) but there was no flavor. If you are going to be charging $19 for a small bowl of chicken laksa, you'd better get the flavor right. So $19 + $11 for 3 satay skewers with not that good of a taste plus tips & taxes, it's over $30 for flavorless food that you will go hungry again in 30-60 minutes, what are you even doing?
Satay Brothers in Montreal Quebec was a definite vibe for this Bronx kid. I had the vegan Satay skewers, the vegetable glass noodles & the Asian broccoli. The spiked lemonade was tasty...
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.
Top notch!!!!
Kway Teow was so flavourful with good wok hei flavours. Chicken satay skewers were crispy on the outside & tender meat, & that peanut sauce on the side was scrumptious. Garlic veggies were delicious. Our server was super friendly & approachable, generously gave us a piece of kueh bengka to finish our meal to celebrate a birthday. Kueh bengka was moist & the coconut flavours weren't overpowering. If i'm ever in the city again, definitely going out of my way to come back!!
I got recommended by a friend I made on the train to Montreal. Wow! The food was amazing! We ordered the fried curry rice, beef/chicken satay skewers, mussel curry, & fried chicken.
The fried curry rice with the spicy sauce & mild salt. It's great & savory because I love to eat spicy food. I do not recommend to put a lot of sauce in the fried rice if you cannot handle spicy, but you should try out a bit because it's more flavourable with a bit of spicy & sour.
The skewers were delicious! The beef (juicy) & the chicken were marinated well & not too dry, not too salty & balance taste with the peanut & creamy sauce.
For the fried chicken, it has balance of sweet & salty. Its sweetness isn't thick & you can still feel a bit of crispness in the skin.
The best dish that we had is the mussels curry! We got recommended by a server & decided to try out. The first bite combined the rice & the curry soup, it's delightful & aromatic. The soup wasn't too creamy & salty. You can see there's a bit of oily in the soup. Also, there are bell peppers pieces inside the mussels but you do not taste them at all due to the overwhelming of curry taste.
The restaurant is louder than the other restaurants I've been but the conversation is still audible. I especially love to currency collection wall that they have. Such a diverse community!
I usually don't write this long review but I am impressed by the taste of the food. Will definitely recommend to try it out!
