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!
Was near the area & wanted to try some Indonesian food. We ordered most of the beef & prawn related items on the menu, as well as all the desserts. Everything tasted very good. My favourite was the chicken leg, it goes so well with the sauce. The skewers were also delicious & tender, but the prawn one could have more flavour. Their service could be a little more organized. We had multiple waitresses come over to ask the same things, & when we asked for them, they said they were busy & would come back but never came back. I would also recommend a reservation as they dont have that much seating & it gets pretty busy, even on weekdays. The desserts weren't that special, tasted average for the price. But I would still recommend if you're looking for Indonesian style food!

Highly recommend! My friend & I were in Montreal a few weeks ago. We discovered this restaurant while having dinner at the restaurant next door the night before. We viewed the menu near their door & decided to come here for dinner the next night. We were astonished by the fusion of Indonesian & Malaysian dishes. My friend & I tried the assorted sambal (pecel, hainan, tumis, & matah) with our dishes. My friend had the chips with the sambal & loved it. Unfortunately, I couldn't try the chips as they are cooked with the same oils as the meats & I am vegan. I tried the Kari Kelapa which came with a whole coconut mixed with vegetables, green leaves, & tofu. It was delicious! Once I finished the curry, I was able to eat the inside of the coconut which scraped off easily & cleanly; I was impressed. My friend & I shared the coconut-lemongrass rice, which was delicious. She ordered the Kerang Kemangi which came with steamed mussels in lemon-basil coconut sauce; she loved it. All the staff members were friendly & professional. I always love a dimly lit restaurant.
J'adore. Je vous recommender chef choice. C'est bon prix pour toute essayera. Commander individuellement peut coûter plus cher. Sans gluten & sans lactose. Endroit idéal pour une soirée spéciale.
Très belle expérience! Nous avons la cérémonie de meilleure amie le 7 février, on es passé excellent moment. L'ambiance super agréable, le service par la belle Miya est attentionné.
Qualité des plats est excellente.Sate Ayam était délicieux. Je recommande
We just had a fantastic dinner here! We did the tasting menu for $65 per person & I highly recommend. The flavors were perfectly balanced & the food was plentiful & rich. Lots of lemongrass & shallots keeping everything tasting extra fresh. Everything was so delicious you paused after each bite to let your eyes roll back in ecstasy. The service was spot on with kind, attentive, helpful waiters who were also not intrusive. Also, a beautiful room. Go if you can!
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.
This week my first time having Malaysian food & I definitely loved it. The variety od food was great & everything had amazing flavors.
We ordered the samba sample platter &, unfortunately, we weren't asked whixh ones we wanted to sample, so we received 1 that we enjoyed & 3 that we sent back.
The Ayam satay was absolutely amazing in flavour & juicy in the way it was cooked. Im not usually a chicken person but this dish was amazing. The grilled calamari had a unique flavour & was enjoyable.
The beef coconut stew was delicious & very well made & the Balado Udang was out of this world. I am someone who doesnt usually have issues with spices but the Balado Udang got to me spice-wise & I absolutely adored it. I would definitely come back here just for the prawn dish.
The service was great, friendly waiters & host. The atmosphere was mostly nice, the kitchen is open so you can watch the cooking process & the decor is nice. Sadly, even if there are not many people in the restaurant, they seat you very closely with others, like personal space close & the music is very very loud so it is difficult to talk.
All in all I would definitely recommend this place.
I came here for a special dinner & I was very satisfied. The food was delicious & the timing was perfect. Service was impeccable. I highly recommend.
If you know a celiac person it's definitely a go to.

Firstly, when I called the person who answered was very friendly & helpful! When we arrived the waiter was amazing explaining everything to us in English & French & helping us choose options to order. & lastly everything we ordered was delicious. The best part for me personally is the fact that the whole food menu is gluten free! Highly recommend!
Food was delicious - spiced well, aromatic, & even visually appealing! We're a group of 10 & had the group tasting menu which was a LOT of food & fun, haha!
The food is fusion which makes it more interesting for me & my friends. Some people might like that, but the purists might have a different opinion. It was a busy night when we came & our server struggled a few times to check on us (but she was nice & friendly), so it's ok. We're understanding people & know how challenging it is to work in the restaurant industry. Overall a great vibe!
Highly recommended & we will be back!

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.
The food was incredible! The blend of flavours was truly exquisite brought me back to my time in Malaysia! Wonderful cocktails full of flavours that I never would imagined in drink form. The service was magnificent & hasty & a special shoutout to Kim for preparing the drinks efficiently & beautifully. The atmosphere was truly terrific & I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for innovative asian cuisine. Thank you so much Satu Lagi, this experience was wonderful!
Très belle découverte sur l'avenue Mont-Royal, nous y avons mangé un souper léger, mais j'y retournerais avec plaisir pour un repas plus copieux. Je recommande fortement les pleurotes frites. Chaque plat avait une touche d'originalité & la terrasse est très agréable.
Really the spot for a fun night in mont royal, the food was muy Fuego & the atmosphere is so nice, dim lights good music & amazing staff, couldn't ask for better !! Also tip your bartenders & waitresses well cause they be working double time there, got my orders in a lickaty split. Highly recommend
