Satu Lagi specializes in the vibrant flavors of Indonesian cuisine through a sophisticated tapas-style approach. The menu highlights bold spices, authentic aromatics, and traditional cooking techniques reimagined for sharing among small groups. Signature offerings often feature complex sambals paired with expertly seasoned protein dishes and fragrant rice preparations. Guests encounter a fusion of cultural traditions that emphasize texture and deep, layered seasoning profiles across every small plate. The environment prioritizes a focused culinary experience where each dish represents a specific regional influence from the Indonesian archipelago.

Satu Lagi is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine and its status as a dedicated gluten-free establishment, which many diners appreciate for its inclusivity and high quality. The vibrant, tapas-style sharing menu features standout dishes such as the satay, fried oyster mushrooms, beef rendang, and pandan crème brûlée, often accompanied by well-crafted, original cocktails. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as cozy, stylish, and lively, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite loud and seating may feel close. Opinions on value are mixed, as some guests find the portion sizes small relative to the price points, yet many others view it as a worthwhile gastronomic experience for special occasions. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, although there are occasional mentions of pacing issues or inconsistencies during busy periods.
I came here for an anniversary dinner & the main draw for us as I have celiac is that this place is 100% gluten free! We loved this place, the options were amazing & everything was delicious, I've included in the photos the names of the menu items we ordered. Service was nice, the only thing was that the fried banana was slightly over fried but still yummy. It is very expensive, but this is our reality, would come again though!
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!

A nice brunch spot on Mont-Royal. Went there with some friends for brunch & we tried an assortment of the satay entrees & the mains. They also had bottomless mimosa for 30$, which we found to be very reasonable. Overall I would recommend trying it out for brunch
The stand outs were definitely the satay skewers, we especially liked the beef & the fish. As for the mains, the maple fried chicken was pretty good.
As for the service, it was alright throughout the meal, the food came out a bit slow instead of all together which led to some waiting.
Amazing dinner. The beef rendang threw me right back to my Yogyakarta trip, the fried mushroom dish was actual heaven, service was very attentive, & the decor is wonderful. I can only recommend, & look forward to coming again :)
Had an incredible meal here. Server was welcoming & offered excellent recommendations from the all gluten-free menu. I had two small plates plus dessert & was absolutely stuffed. Chicken satay & pandan crème brûlée were highlights. This spot is best for smaller parties of 4 or less, & reservations recommended as it fills up quickly.
Je suis très satisfait d'être venu dans ce restaurant.J'ai retrouvé les saveurs qui envahissent les rues de ce pays magnifique qu'est l'Indonésie. Enak sekali 😊.Nous y retournerons dès que nous reviendrons à Montréal.
Un brunch délicieux, original & qui conviendra à tous les régimes alimentaires ( sans gluten, végétarien ou vegan).
Du café indo au satay tempeh en passant par les toasts sans gluten, tout était délicieux.
Une adresse à visiter & re visiter sans modération.
