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!
Adored the satay skewers as well as their complementary sauces. The chicken, calamari, beef & rice were all great. They serve lovely cocktails that are powerful & diverse in flavour. The portion sizes are a bit smaller but very typical for tapas style / sharing style restaurants. Lovely atmosphere, decor & interior design. Professional & clean service.
Outre la petite confusion en lien avec le niveau de connaissance que nous avions des mets indonésien & le manque d'information reçue pour nous aider à mieux comprendre le concept, l'expérience culinaire y vaut le détour. Les saveurs sont délicieusement relevées & douces à la fois. Le poulet braisé était très sec mais heureusement la sauce qui l'accompagnait était exceptionnellement goûteuse. GROS COUP DE COEUR pour la crème brûlée au pandam.
WARNING : les sauces sambal sont pour la majorité TRÈS piquantes.
Délicieux resto! Des cocktails, aux petites « sauces » servies avec chips, aux brochettes satay, aux petits plats (boeuf fondant, légume jaquier façon « effiloché », pleurotes frites, haricots), à la crème brûlée coco; tout était exquis! Si vous aimez le piquant & les épices savoureuses, vous serez servis.
Food was decent, got a little taste of everything. The chicken with hot sauce was fantastic, a great combination.
The meat in rendang was too shredded for my liking despite the strong taste of lemongrass & rendang flavor.
The vegetable was slightly underwhelming. This is probably due to the lack of wok fire.
The crème brûlée texture wasn't quite right, it was a little curdy. However, the taste was good.
Overall, a restaurant that provides a unique experience for Indonesian Malaysian food.
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.
Ayant la maladie coeliaque, avoir accès à un menu entier sans gluten était génial, surtout que la nourriture était DÉLICIEUSE ! Mon amie & moi y sommes allés pour bruncher. Elle a pris les oeufs bénédictine au cari (que j'ai goûté hihi), c'était excellent, ni plus ni moins. La sauce, wow, le poulet, wow ! Pour ma part, j'ai pris un plat le Nasi Lemak avec le boeuf rendang. Le boeuf était très bon, mais le riz ne coûtait pas la noix de coco, à ma déception. Mention spéciale pour la décoration & la musique, je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit aussi beau. Les serveuses étaient gentilles & serviables ! Bref, j'y retournerai, mais la prochaine fois je prendrais les oeufs bénédictine 🥰
I had the pleasure of dining at Satu Lagi during my visit to Montreal, & it was truly a highlight of the trip. The flavors were bold, authentic, & exceptionally well-balanced. The gado gado was a standout-fresh, vibrant, & dressed in a perfectly creamy peanut sauce. The satay was grilled to perfection, tender & full of rich, smoky flavor.
The drink selection was equally impressive, with thoughtfully crafted cocktails & a solid variety of alcoholic options that paired beautifully with the meal.
Beyond the food, the staff were absolutely wonderful-warm, attentive, & genuinely passionate about what they do. Their hospitality made the experience all the more memorable.
Satu Lagi is a must-visit for anyone seeking high-quality Indonesian cuisine in Montreal. I'll certainly be returning.
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 had a great meal at Satu Lagi. The waiter guided us through the menu & we opted for the Jamur Jamur mushrooms (great with a sambal sauce), chicken satay (not bad but not great), rendang beef curry (a little one note in flavour), Chinese broccoli (so delicious!), & a chili cocktail (yummy)!
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
Délicieux!!! J'ai rarement aussi bien mangé de ma vie! Nous avons pris le satay boeuf & satay poulet, la petite sauce aux arachides & citronnelle en accompagnement était exceptionnelle. Le riz au lait de coco était excellent. Les pilons de poulet juste assez relevés & très goûteux. Je vais définitement revenir. Nous avons donc pris 4 plats, du riz ainsi que 2 verres pour un total de 100$.
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.
Malaysian here, definitely not authentic malaysian food. 😬 Also note that this is more focus on Malay cuisine which I don't mind. But Malaysia cuisine is very diverse. The description says "peranakan" style curry but my gf & I just got back from penang. This is not peranakan style curry lol. Maybe the owner trying to adjust the taste to fits local tastebuds. But even my Quebecois friend say it was just ok... When my gf went to Malaysia, she absolutely love the food there. From Durian Curry, Nasi Kerabu (blue rice), Hokkien Mee (stir fry thick noodle with dark soy sauce), Roti Pisang (banana roti) etc I will suggest owner or future Malaysian restaurant owner just tone down spiciness & keep the same flavor back from Malaysia & you're good to go. People will rush in like mad. Edit: Don't use cilantro, lime on everything as well. Satay with lime? wut & not even real satay.
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!!!
Although most of the food was good, we did take issue with the portion size. When we ordered the chicken wings, it said 5/ch & 6/ch, which we assumed would mean we got our 5 & 6 pieces respectively. What ended up happening was that we only got one big chicken wing, one of them lathered in a very spicy sauce. We do know that in the menu it said it would be spicy, but we do feel as if it was too spicy. When we commented lightheartedly on this to the waiter, he said that he should have warned us. The sauce on my friend's plate, which was placed on the side, was not advertised as spicy either. Although the ingredients were clearly listed on the menu item of the chocolate pudding, we did not know that it would leave a bad taste. My only question is why would you make a chocolate pudding with durian, a fruit that's supposed to taste like cheese, almonds, garlic & caramel all at once? Maybe it wasn't for me, but I found the taste to be very unpleasant. Our last complaint is how they will have a 2 groups of 2 people share an outdoor table of 4 without warning. I made a reservation for 2 at the counter but our hostess asked if we would prefer eating outdoors without letting us know of the possibility of being sat with others later on. We did have 2 people sat with us, however, one of them showed & verbally expressed discomfort & decided to eat somewhere else. A minute later, another 2 people sat with us without asking my friend & I any sort of permission. We understand that other tables may be reserved, but we feel as if the 2 connected tables should be separated in order to create space & privacy. It was awkward for both parties, none of us talking at all & when we did we were able to hear everything. The last group of 2 people did ask for the tables next to us, but the hostess said that they were for 4 people.
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!
Great food, but on the spicy (& pricy) side. Service could've have been better (timing of dishes, waiting on sauces, bill split with errors, etc).
Rapport qualité prix médiocre, & impression de se faire avoir en payant 36$ pour un plat de pétoncles annoncé comme taille moyenne dans le menu, sur une purée (donc supposément consistant), pour recevoir en réalité 5 pétoncles sur une petite quantité de sauce... Curry au boeuf servi sec, trop cuit & sans sauce. Grosse déception. Le curry au poulet était correct.
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!
