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. This venue balances communal dining dynamics with a commitment to culinary precision and cultural authenticity. Every component on the plate serves a functional purpose, ensuring that the interplay between heat, acidity, and savory depth remains the primary focus for all patrons seeking genuine Southeast Asian gastronomy.
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.
Excellente soirée à ce restaurant, la nourriture était savoureuse, le service rapide, attentif & sympathique. L'ambiance est décontractée avec un joli décor. À essayer absolument.
I wanted to love this place & had high hopes for it after looking at the menu. The cocktails had little to no taste, they tasted watery. They completely ran out of white wine after we ordered. Food was ok but not very warm, felt like it was sitting in the kitchen for a while. Was overpriced for the quality of the food & cocktails. For 200$ per person you can find better options.
Énorme surprise ! Un délice, avec un super staff ! Mention spéciale au sapi bakar, le boeuf était croustillant en extérieur, rouge & fondant à l'intérieur, avec des épices de mariant à la perfection. Miam !

Alors oui, la nourriture était très bonne, mais rien qui ne justifie des prix aussi élevés! Les portions sont minuscules. Nous avions faim en sortant, alors nous sommes allés manger chez Mont-Royal hot dog. Ça, c'était un vrai repas!
Super accueil & ambiance avec cuisine fusion indonésienne. C'était bon, original & vraiment agréable. 200$/2 personnes avant tip c'est peut être un peu plus cher que je m'attendais mais c'était vraiment un bon moment. Trois entrées Un sambal 2 plats principaux 6 bières
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!!!
Incredible food, ambience & service!!! My family & I are from Toronto & we put Satu Lagi at the top of our list of restaurants to visit when we went to Montreal this summer(2024). Absolutely incredible! We were greeted by the friendliest staff member when we walked in & the food was off the charts tasty! We are now back in Toronto & praying they open a location here. Nonetheless, we will 100% be back the next time we go to Montreal. Thank you so much, Satu Lagi! Till we meet again! :)
Vraiment délicieux & très authentique (si ce n'est que moins épicé pour le palet local). Bonne sélections de classique indonésiens, on met tout au milieu de la table & on goûte un peu à tout. Bon service, prix raisonnables pour Montréal.
