Satu Lagi consistently impresses guests with its vibrant, high-quality Indonesian and Malaysian fusion cuisine, frequently earning praise for its fully gluten-free menu and welcoming atmosphere. Diners often highlight the flavorful satay, fried oyster mushrooms, and pandan creme brulee as standout dishes that deliver an authentic and memorable gastronomic experience. While some patrons find the portions small or the pricing premium, many view the restaurant as a must-visit destination in Montreal, especially for those seeking creative, allergy-friendly options, professional service, and a beautiful, cozy setting perfect for special occasions.
Amazing! Very hard to find Indonesian & Malaysian food, & this place is a great offering of these cuisines. The fried mushrooms, the green beans, & the shrimp in the tomato sauce were highlights, but literally everything was outstanding. The chefs choice menu is a must. &, everything on the menu is gluten free, which if you are dining with someone with Celiac, like I was, is absolutely unbeatable, especially for Asian food, which often is not GF. Recommended fully!!
I'm Indonesian born & arrived in Canada when I was 9 years old & I grew up with Indonesian food. This restaurant is by far better than any Indonesian restaurant in Toronto, where I reside. The chef was kind enough to make the outstanding fried fish - Ikan Goreng (a dinner menu) for lunch. We also had amazing fried chicken that was so crunchy. Gado Gado (veggies) with peanut sauce was so tasty. Nasi Lemak (Rice & Beef Rendang) was just like my mom's & so authentic. The chicken satay (skewers) were perfectly grilled. Great job chef! Terima Kasih (Thank you)!
Absolutely delicious. We went for dinner & did the chef's tasting menu. Everything was fresh, interesting, tasty, & most importantly 100% gluten free. The cocktails were well balanced & yummy, we tried a few. The fried chicken was a standout as well as the creme brulee. We will definitely be back next time we are in the city. If you are gluten free you don't want to miss this spot.
Came here with friends & we had the broccoli, fried mushrooms, chicken skewers with sauce, pomelo & mango salad & the tofu. All was incredible but the tofu was too rich for one person to eat themself so best to share it.
2026: I came back on my own & ordered the garlic marinated tempeh satay, the 4 veg sambals with chips & the litchinade. The tempeh came with the peanut sambal so it was a good combination if you want to try the sambals with chips. The peanut sambal was definitely my favourite of the 4 so I'd recommend getting the tempeh so you could try it instead of getting the other sambals on their own if you're on a limited budget. The homemade chips were so good. They were made of a special nut & a root vegetable but I forget what they were called. The tempeh had a nice marinade & the cucumber & red chili on the side added fun freshness & flavour. The mocktail wasn't that exciting but still good. The service was great & the terrace was beautiful
My friends & I stumbled into Satu Lagi on a rainy night & were blown away. Sat at the bar across from the open kitchen & ordered based on the chef (Kevin's) recommendation. Great service & amazing food especially the satay flight & the fried mushrooms. Highly recommend!
- Jamur Jamur: Crispy oyster mushrooms with Malaysian spices
- Kari Ayam Penang: Peranaken chicken curry
- Iga Bakar: Grilled beef ribs marinated with galangal & soy
- Gudeg Nangka: Sweet stewed young jackfruit in coconut milk
- Kangkong Belacan: Water spinach stir-fried in belancan
I love belacan (fermented shrimp paste) & the water spinach dish was full of it! Delicious. The chicken curry was also stand-out, but all the dishes were really good & interesting. A very good meal!

Every dish that we ordered was extremely flavorful & unique in texture & taste. Definitely a gastronomic adventure. Fried oyster mushroom, beef ribs, pandan creme brulee, & grilled chicken are just some of the great dishes.
OMG the flavours in this place are out of this world & so refreshing. The Rendang daging (coconut beef) is to die for, the Ayam goreng manis (fried chicken with fermented honey) will blow your mind, the Kajang panjang kluwek (green beans) is so delicious you won't stop eating... Yes it gets expensive if you have wine like we did, but just go for the food & you'll freak out!!
The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was so flavourful & well prepared, & the courses were perfectly spaced out.
Starters: highly recommend the tempeh & beef skewers, the fried mushrooms, & the tofu.
Mains: the rendang & the green beans are a must. The sauce that the clam stir fry was prepared in is also superb. You have to get rice on the side (both types are great but the turmeric one is fantastic).
Special mention for the pandan crème brûlée (still thinking about a day later) & chili mutiara drink (fresh & perfect for the summer).
Service is fast & attentive, & the staff is all very warm & welcoming. The ambiance feels elevated without being overbearing, & the restaurant itself is beautifully designed & warmly lit.
Perfect place for a small group to share plates & grab drinks. Book in advance & ask for a table by the window in the summer, booth indoors in the winter. Their terrasse is also lovely too if you're lucky to catch it in the warmer months.
