I had the pleasure to visit Satu Lagi for a solo dining on a Saturday evening & I left deeply satisfied. This intimate & dimly-lit establishment offers a delightful selection of Indo-Malaysian plates & cocktails all done exceptionally well.
Upon first walking in, the restaurant welcomes you with the enticing smell of smoke coming from its open kitchen. It is amazing to watch the kitchen work so seemlessly with the massive fire intermittently stealing my attention away from the food as it ignites & dances against the rhythmic tossing of the wok.
The bartender is also extremely nice, humble & passionate about her craft. The sheer enthusiasm radiating from her is contagious. It was a pleasure to connect with her as she shared about the'secret' & the history of the Pomelo cocktail. What a creative drink that replicates the flavor of an ingredient that isn't even included in the recipe.
The food far surpasses expectations with each dish made with care & offering a range of texture, flavor & aroma.
The jamur jamur of fried oyster mushrooms was crispy without feeling greasy, & the pickled shimeji mushrooms add a much needed acidity. The kajang panjang kluwek was deeply savory & umami. The fried caramelization on the beans & the softened onions add a rich sweetness that complements the saltiness.
The highlight of the meal was the cumi bakar bali; albeit small, the calamari packed a lot of flavour & aroma. It was smoky with charred bits, sweet & lightly spiced from the tamarind glaze, & perfectly cooked tender with a slight bite.
Overall, Satu Lagi was a pleasant surprise & I will surely be coming back for more. The food was delicious & all of the staff care deeply about the quality of the food served & of the service provided.View more

I came here for an anniversary dinner & the main draw for us as I have celiac is that this place is 100% gluten free! We loved this place, the options were amazing & everything was delicious, I've included in the photos the names of the menu items we ordered. Service was nice, the only thing was that the fried banana was slightly over fried but still yummy. It is very expensive, but this is our reality, would come again though!View more

A nice brunch spot on Mont-Royal. Went there with some friends for brunch & we tried an assortment of the satay entrees & the mains. They also had bottomless mimosa for 30$, which we found to be very reasonable. Overall I would recommend trying it out for brunch
The stand outs were definitely the satay skewers, we especially liked the beef & the fish. As for the mains, the maple fried chicken was pretty good.
As for the service, it was alright throughout the meal, the food came out a bit slow instead of all together which led to some waiting.View more

Amazing dinner. The beef rendang threw me right back to my Yogyakarta trip, the fried mushroom dish was actual heaven, service was very attentive, & the decor is wonderful. I can only recommend, & look forward to coming again :)View more

Another Montreal Gem. Delicious!
I went with three others. We shared the Sambal assortment as an appetizer. I had the Rendang Daging beef dish, very tender with coconut citronella rice, & the Kailan Bakar chinese broccoli side dish. The flavours are all amazing. I also had the fried bananas for dessert; it's all good. My friends loved their dinner choices, the service was excellent & the sound level allows for conversations without having to yell.
Also, it's 100% gluten-free, coeliac-friendly.
Apparently Satu Lagi means'One More', in English. I say'several more' is how often we'll be going back.View more

Born in the archipelago, I was tempted to try something comforting from home. However, though I was upset that it didn't taste the same & was honestly very disappointed - & the waiter told me if I told them I was born there, they could modify it such that it becomes more relatable (which I did, so I'm confused). Wanted something light so ended up getting something easy for them to make (that was not too slow). I packed them back home to my aprtment to give it a second go with the Montreal palate in mind. Fried chicken tasted regular - for 2 pieces it did not justify the price especially since you could get better ones at other Western stores. The honey sauce was delicious. The geprek was not done properly...chicken was cold & unsalted. With an open mind, I think the salted egg tahu telur was alright. Good blend of flavour - & it was refreshing to have a taste of tofu done the SEA way. For these I paid 30+ CAD - super overpriced for some street food. I would come again for other dishes just to be curious. Also, was upset that I was not informed that they had a specialty laksa on the front page - which I only realised after I was packing the excess home. Wished the waiter could've done so in the beginning instead of showing me the small dishes. Rating it a 3/5 - would be better if I had a better seat but my fault since it was reservation only - would be nice if they had indo-malay music - best if the waiter could have told me their laksa on first page - would come again just to give it another chance as I saw the other reviews with dishes i would eat but was not aware it was on the menuView more

While staying in Montreal we decided for try Satu Lagi for dinner. First off, our server Zachery was very attentive & gave us a full run down off the menu & suggested some apps & mains. My partner is celiac & majority of the options on the menu were fully gluten free. They also use separate fryers & make sure they can accommodate the best they can! For our apps we got Brussels sprouts, the fried chicken, fried mushrooms & chicken skewers . For our mains we got veggies & rice which were amazing. It was little sweet for my liking but over all good. If you're in Montreal & have a gluten allergy Satu Lagi if definitely worth trying out. Good for a date night but also for lunch. We didn't get any drinks but the bar seating & bar look fully stocked & the drinks looked great! Will definitely recommend this to friends who visit Montreal & need a dinner/lunch spot!View more

We biked here in the rain from downtown. The service was amazing. Amazing fried chicken!View more

Fried mushrooms is a must. Decently authentic. The people who left poor reviews of brunch aren't used to Malaysian-Indonesian breakfast. Nasi lemak & Kaya toast with almost raw eggs are staplesView more

We had the most incredible dinner at Satu Lagi during our trip to Montreal. The resto is fully GF so you can enjoy a delicious meal fully relaxed. This popular spot is super busy so book reservations in advance. Absolutely everything we ordered was INCREDIBLE!!!! Beautiful environment with an open kitchen. Stylish & cool. We enjoyed our meal with a bottle of Saki & our 12 year old was delighted with the unusual stunning colour of her crème brûlée. Order lots of small plates to enjoy many different flavours. You won't be disappointed. Some of our favourites were: crispy fried mushrooms, chicken satay with peanut sauce, vegetables & tofu in coconut milk, grilled Chinese broccoli, coconut milk beef stew, both rice dishes, etc etc etc. We want to visit Montreal again just to return to this restaurant!!!View more

the food is so unique & amazing! it's a wonderful & refreshing experience to try Indonesian/Malaysian cuisine that isn't as popular like other parts of Asia's culinary game. i highly recommend the sambals, beef rendang, fried fish, jackfruit stew, the fried chicken with fermented honey, pandan crême brûlée & the pandan drink is delightful! do be prepared as Indo/Malay cooking is spicyyy!!! otherwise, the chefs really have the flavour profile down - coconut, galangal, lime, chilis, tamarind, etc. the staff & service is always great too :)View more

Nothing but great things to say about Satu Lagi - everything exceeded expectations. Traveling with Celiac disease is always stressful, so being able to have anything in the menu is such a treat. & even more so when it's all delicious. We ordered the fried mushrooms (Jamur Jamur), the broccoli (Kailan), & the scallops (Pétoncles Poêlées) - all excellent, but I think the fried fish cakes was the star appetizer. The curry chicken (Kari Ayam) was our favorite main, & the satay was a top notch side car. Disappointed to report we didn't sane room for dessert, but I can attest that the cocktail I had (the chili mutiara) was phenomenal. I like a little heat in my cocktail, & along with the smoke from the mezcal this was on point. As if the food (did I mention entirely gluten free?) wasn't enough of a reason to visit, the service, ambiance, & location all exceeded expectations too.View more

Satu Lagi is not only tastes authentic, but also the chili in the store is absolutely so refreshing! Definitely a paradise for spicy lovers! The business during meal time is very busy,& the exotic flavor allows you to arrive in Indonesia in one second without having to go abroad. Each kind of chili sauce has a different flavor, so I recommend you try some of them, It's very mouth-watering when mixed with vegetables & rice, but it's really super spicy. The spiciness in Indonesia is mild at first, & it doesn't feel too spicy, even a little sweet, but after a while, the aftertaste will make people sweat...be careful! Rendang beef tastes a bit like curry beef. It can be said to be a super special dish in Indonesia, the beef is chunky & delicious. The fried duck legs are deep-fried until they are very, very crispy. It can be said that there is no gravy, but some of the fat & the duck skin taste particularly oily. It is delicious when paired with onion sauce & the turmeric rice!View more

The food was delicious, particularly the fried mushrooms, it was like a flavour explosion, so unique. Everything was really good, but I did think that for what it was, it was a bit pricey, compared to similar places I've been to. Still a unique & delightful dining experience I would highly recommend.View more

Incredibly unique & tasty menu. We had a table of 5 & everything was shared. The plates were thoughtfully portioned for the 5 of us, & it was easy to pass around. The assorted sambal flight was a nice variety of flavours to test & to dip other satay or bites in. Ranged from spicy, to earthy, to slightly sweet. The fried mushrooms were fried to perfection, meaty & savoury. The satay had a nice char & super easy to eat. Scallop & calamari flavourful & clean. So much I could say. Service was also very friendly & accommodating of a rush we were in to head to a concert. Would highly recommend & I would be back in an instant when visiting Montreal.View more

The fact that this place is entirely gluten free & lactose free made it a paradise for my family as my brother is celiac & I am lactose intolerant. The ambiance is elegant & cozy at the same time. We tried quite a few items on the menu & the fried mushrooms (Jamie Jamur), spicy shrimp (Balado Udang Petai), & chicken satay brochette (Satay Ayam) were clear standouts. The crispy fried chicken was okay, I wish it had more of a kick to it. The crème brûlée was also really good & completely dairy free.View more
Woo
Stunning food with amazing flavours & execution on the cooking. The mushrooms were addictive, so well fried yet light, the spices were on point. The rendang daging was deep & complex in flavour & the deep fried fish was a showstopper - each part of the fist was so perfectly fried that it could be eaten with the delicious sauces provided. Service was attentive & friendly. Definitely will return to try their skate wing!View more
Emma
Just incredible. I was in heaven. Highly recommend the Jamur Jamur - perfectly crispy fried mushrooms, & the Gado Gado (best peanut sauce dish I've ever had). SO GOOD!View more
Alexandre
Rather disappointing: rendang beef had too much fat & lacked flavor. Shrimp also lacked flavor, as did the gado gado. Fried mushrooms & cocktails were ok. I had higher expectations based on the reviews. Wouldn't return.View more
Barbara
Yum! This place is great. Food was really good. I especially recommend the gai lan (Chinese broccoli) it was so good it gave me goosebumps! The beef rendang was also 11/10. Soooo good. The only dish I would skip is the fried mushrooms. They were too greesy & bitter from the turmeric. Otherwise, I definitely recommend everything.View more

One of the very few (if not only) Indonesian inspired restaurants in Montreal, Satu Lagu was a nice place to enjoy Asian style food but of a particular savor that you would not normally be accustomed too...it's certainly not Chinese, nor Vietnamese (although closer to the latter than the former) with a lighter set of flavors & with an emphasis on umami-like essences.
Located on Mont-Royal East, the décor of the restaurant is clean, bright with hints of the cuisines' cultural roots (monkey light fixtures, rattan ceiling details, etc...) while the meal service is more tapas style than anything else. For our meal we asked our server (a very friendly & helpful Juliette) for the best-of options & went from there. We had the Ayam Goreng (plain & Manis (which is very spicy)...essentially fried chicken drumsticks but with an excellent batter), Belacan Satay (simple chicken skewers with a gritty shrimp flavored peanut sauce...good), Tauhu Telur Asin (a fried tofu dish...excellent), Kailan (a spinach/broccoli style dish with oyster sauce flavoring...good) & the House (Jasmin) Rice with Coconut flavoring (very good). For dessert we had a surprisingly excellent Pandan Creme Brule...very, very good. Finally, we paired the meal with a surprisingly appropriate beer called Doux Bisous which had a light citrus flavor & really worked well with this style of cuisine.
The food portions were on the smaller side (like tapas) however the service was done one dish at a time with the rice at the end. This was not how we eat typical meals as we prefer rice to be included & used as a base for the dish. We didn't realize this until the end but, now that we know we would have asked for the dishes to be served in quick sequence & especially for the rice to be brought earlier.
Service was very good &, as mentioned, our server was knowledgeable & helpful. Tired of the same-old Chinese & Vietnamese dishes then certainly give Satu Lagi a try. Enjoy!View more

Was really excited to try this place, planned the Montreal trip also around it. Was a bit disappointed. Not that the food wasn't good, but it just wasn't anything special for the price. The service, atmosphere & overall maintenance was great but they could up their game with the variety on food. The cocktail was also good (Paradin Rice). We had the Satay Daging (beef) & marinated Calamari. We also tried the Fried chicken.View more

Great place for an elevated dinner! Entire menu was gluten free & dairy free. We liked the beef stew & fried duck the most. Serving staff was friendly & quick.View more

The food was good don't get me wrong, but the spices were just not there for indo food. The only dish that got it right was the fried mushrooms. If they seasoned everything like they seasoned the mushrooms it would be a 5 star. Instead, everything just sort of tasted like oil. The curry was not spicy at all & the rice had way too much coconut milk (both yellow & white). The waiters were very good.View more
