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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
