Resto-bar à vins et tapas indo-malaisien avec une cuisine sans gluten et des vins et cocktails uniques.
Indo-Malay wine and tapas resto-bar with a gluten-free kitchen and unique wines and cocktails.
Satu Lagi is widely praised as a standout Indonesian and Malay restaurant in Montreal, with a tapas-style format that encourages sharing and a menu that balances authentic flavors with modern flair. The dining experience is noted for extensive gluten-free and lactose-free options, appealing to celiac diners and those with dietary restrictions, and for dishes that are described as delicious, aromatic, and well balanced with lemongrass, coconut, and chili notes. Standout items include satay skewers, rendang, gado gado, nasi lemak, kailan bakar, jamur jamur, and pandan crème brûlée, along with a coconut rice base and flavorful poultry and seafood. The drinks program earns praise for creative cocktails and Indonesian coffee, though a few reviews mention that sambal can be very spicy and some dishes can feel pricey. Ambience is described as stylish and intimate with a lively open kitchen and terrace options, and service is generally attentive, with occasional notes about busy periods or slower weekends. Overall, Satu Lagi comes across as a reliable go-to for a vibrant Indonesian-Malaysian dining experience in Montreal, especially for groups or special occasions and brunch.
Great service & lovely terrace & interior design. However the food, for the brunch menu, was slightly uninspiring. Flavours were good, however some items were a miss. The Kaya Toast & eggs was just a piece of toast with a sweet spread & a poached egg. I wouldn't recommend. Stays were definitely a hit.
The server kept bothering us to buy drinks even though I clearly stated "just water". My plate had an egg shell... No vegan options. Limited vegetarian options.
the food is so unique & amazing! it's a wonderful & refreshing experience to try Indonesian/Malaysian cuisine that isn't as popular like other parts of Asia's culinary game. i highly recommend the sambals, beef rendang, fried fish, jackfruit stew, the fried chicken with fermented honey, pandan crême brûlée & the pandan drink is delightful! do be prepared as Indo/Malay cooking is spicyyy!!! otherwise, the chefs really have the flavour profile down - coconut, galangal, lime, chilis, tamarind, etc. the staff & service is always great too :)
We didn't have a reservation & were given a table on the terrace with no time limit. Effectively, we were able to enjoy the food without pressure & were able to order more options from the menu. Also the service was excellent.
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.
Nothing but great things to say about Satu Lagi - everything exceeded expectations. Traveling with Celiac disease is always stressful, so being able to have anything in the menu is such a treat. & even more so when it's all delicious. We ordered the fried mushrooms (Jamur Jamur), the broccoli (Kailan), & the scallops (Pétoncles Poêlées) - all excellent, but I think the fried fish cakes was the star appetizer. The curry chicken (Kari Ayam) was our favorite main, & the satay was a top notch side car. Disappointed to report we didn't sane room for dessert, but I can attest that the cocktail I had (the chili mutiara) was phenomenal. I like a little heat in my cocktail, & along with the smoke from the mezcal this was on point. As if the food (did I mention entirely gluten free?) wasn't enough of a reason to visit, the service, ambiance, & location all exceeded expectations too.

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!
This place has the best food & service I've had in Montreal in years. The food flavour wise is complex & dynamic. The wait staff is attentive & quick. I feel like the restaurant industry in Montreal has gone down hill since the pandemic & this place restored my faith. Every thing I've tried is amazing

This restaurant offers high quality Indo-Malaysian tapas, a type of cuisine & concept that stands out among other more generic & touristy stops okay Mont Royal. If you are looking for more of an upscale experience in that neighborhood, with high quality service & an extensive wine list (not to mention great cocktails), then Satu Lagi is your spot.
Conveniently located in the heart of the Plateau, we discovered the restaurant via Instagram. We did not know a reservation was necessary for brunch, so we just showed up. The server was nice enough to offer us to sit at the bar which was fine since we got to see the barmaid do her magic with the exotic drinks. The food is good, however we did not expected it to be spicy... although we asked our server, our main dishes were too spicy. We recommend you either make sure you can handle very spicy food or request the kitchen to go easy on the hot peppers! Overall a nice experience & it is worth a detour if you don't mind spicy food.
