Indo-Malay wine and tapas resto-bar with a gluten-free kitchen and unique wines and cocktails.
Satu Lagi is widely praised as a standout Indonesian and Malay restaurant in Montreal, with a tapas-style format that encourages sharing and a menu that balances authentic flavors with modern flair. The dining experience is noted for extensive gluten-free and lactose-free options, appealing to celiac diners and those with dietary restrictions, and for dishes that are described as delicious, aromatic, and well balanced with lemongrass, coconut, and chili notes. Standout items include satay skewers, rendang, gado gado, nasi lemak, kailan bakar, jamur jamur, and pandan crème brûlée, along with a coconut rice base and flavorful poultry and seafood. The drinks program earns praise for creative cocktails and Indonesian coffee, though a few reviews mention that sambal can be very spicy and some dishes can feel pricey. Ambience is described as stylish and intimate with a lively open kitchen and terrace options, and service is generally attentive, with occasional notes about busy periods or slower weekends. Overall, Satu Lagi comes across as a reliable go-to for a vibrant Indonesian-Malaysian dining experience in Montreal, especially for groups or special occasions and brunch.
Came to Satu Lagi for the third time & finally got to try their brunch! Menu is not overwhelming, but contains a good variety of dishes. I had the sambal eggs, & really enjoyed the coconut sauce. Lacking the spice I was expecting but the eggs were poached perfectly. Another fantastic visit to this restaurant. I am always fascinated by the complex flavors & innovative dishes!
Absolutely loved our visit - the crème brule was the greatest joy of my life. We shared a variety of dishes & enjoyed yummy cocktails. Highly recommend! Smaller restaurant, so best for a date night or small group.

We were happy to eat here, but I don't think we would be back again. Much of the food was good, but none of it was outstanding. The fried chicken in particular was way overly sweet - honey drenched - & the other dishes were good, but nothing wowed us except the lemon grass appetizer & the fried mushrooms. The service was perfectly good but impersonal. The atmosphere would have been good, but that they played 70s American rock ballads, & it just felt very incongruous in an Indonesian restaurant. Not being Indonesian ourselves, & not having an Indonesian server, it was hard to tell what was authentic & what was not.
Nice restaurant, great service, but a bit pricey. creative takes on Indonesian cuisine - I liked the idea of serving sambal as an appetizer. However, coming from the Netherlands where Indonesian food is common, I found the main dishes rather'underwhelming':
The Rendang lacked its usual bold flavors & tasted like a mild beef stew with coconut/peanut. The Marinated Beans were tasty but undercooked & rather pricey. Still worth the visit though…
Special note : their online reservation system asked if it was a'special occasion' - it was my anniversary - but there was no follow-up at the restaurant. Better to skip the question if it doesn't lead to anything...?
Stylish atmosphere, friendly staff, & beautifully presented dishes. We enjoyed the chicken & fish skewers, gado gado, rendang, chicken curry, & pandan crème brûlée-the dessert was the highlight. While everything was well-cooked & satisfying, the flavours lacked the boldness & depth we've experienced in Southeast Asia. The drinks were refreshing but mild. A pleasant experience overall, just not as punchy as hoped.
I really enjoyed the food at Satu Lagi! All of the items we ordered were delicious.
Since we were two, they offered to add an extra skewer to each dish for an additional fee so we could each enjoy two skewers per plate, & we appreciated this. I will say though, the food is on the pricier side so just be prepared for that.
We tried 3 satay skewers, the chicken, beef, & shrimp. They were all delicious & flavorful. The chicken & beef were very moist while the shrimp was a little bit overcooked but the sauce was so good. My favorite dishes were the chicken satay (Ayam), beef satay (Daging) & the Chinese broccoli dish (Kailan Bakar).
I was really happy with my overall experience. The staff was friendly & attentive. We also got lucky to be seated right away without reservations but I would recommend that you make reservations as they did get very busy. I would definitely go back, especially to try their bunch menu!

We truly enjoy dining at Satu Lagi whenever we are in Montreal. The authentic Indonesian cuisine is a major highlight, & the service is consistently excellent. My son particularly enjoys talking to Om Dana, who speaks Bahasa Indonesia, which makes our visits even more special.
We always make time to visit Satu Lagi to savor our favorite dishes. We love the ayam goreng & iga bakar, while my husband is a fan of the gudeg nangka. Our absolute favorite, however, is the Bebek Goreng, which is unfortunately not on the menu at the moment. We hope it will be available again soon.
Overall, Satu Lagi provides a delightful dining experience that keeps us coming back. It is highly recommended for anyone craving Indonesian food.
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 menu
We went there for dinner. For the atmosphere & service, it's a bit expensive. The portions are ridiculously small. Especially the Sambhal, 4 tiny portions of sauces which lacked flavour & were not spicy at all. Chicken satay was good. All you can taste is the coconut milk in the beef rendang. It was a bit too much. The rice was very dry & crunchy. There was hardly any salt. At times it was confusing as what to add or mix to get it right. Being a big fan of Malaysian & Indonesian food, I was very disappointed. Also, the most popular dishes were not on the menu.
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!!!
Conveniently located in the heart of the Plateau, we discovered the restaurant via Instagram. We did not know a reservation was necessary for brunch, so we just showed up. The server was nice enough to offer us to sit at the bar which was fine since we got to see the barmaid do her magic with the exotic drinks. The food is good, however we did not expected it to be spicy... although we asked our server, our main dishes were too spicy. We recommend you either make sure you can handle very spicy food or request the kitchen to go easy on the hot peppers! Overall a nice experience & it is worth a detour if you don't mind spicy food.
Without pretensions, From cocktails to desserts, It was the most exquisite culinary experience. Every single bite was more delectable than the next. The dished were packed with fresh ingredients, carefully crafted to make every bite heavenly. I cannot wait to return & i absolutely recommend this restaurant/experience!

This city is beyond lucky to have this wonderful restaurant. Thank you for the most delightful dishes I've ever tasted in North America. Hormat! Respect to chefs, cooks, & everybody involve in the restaurant. Definitely will come back!!
Great intimate atmosphere, & super delicious & unique dishes! Everything was so flavourful & really blew us away. Amanda our server was very knowledgeable about the menu & gave us great recommendations. It was a pleasure to be served by her. Definitely recommend this place! Especially loved that the entire menu is gluten free & lactose free!
The first impression of this restaurant when I went to visit. 100% gluten free food for my hubby. Very good services to recommend the menu for us in the first time. The taste of food is very very tasty 😋. The size of dishes are not too big & we can share. The price is reasonable. My favorite drink is non-alcoholic with pandan leaf & coconut that's also including my dessert. The atmosphere is very cool & nice 👍. We will come back to this restaurant often very sure. 💕
Absolutely loved this restaurant & the experience. Great atmosphere, great service, most importantly excellent food. After returning from Bali earlier this year I've been craving Indonesian food but we lack restaurants that serve authentic Indonesian dishes & flavours. Sister brought me here as she thoroughly enjoyed dining here previously. Dishes I recommend: balado udang patai (that galangal 🤩), gado gado (kangkung was cooked perfectly), tempeh satay (they do tempeh well!), ayam goreng manis (wow chili honey), rendang daging (so flavourful).
