The menu highlights bold spices, authentic aromatics, and traditional cooking techniques reimagined for sharing among small groups.

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 recognized as a standout destination in Montreal for those seeking Indonesian and Malaysian flavors, particularly appreciated for its fully gluten-free menu that does not compromise on taste or quality. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its vibrant atmosphere, beautifully presented dishes, and exceptional staff who are often described as attentive and professional. While popular favorites like the chicken satay, beef rendang, and pandan crème brûlée frequently receive high acclaim, experiences can occasionally vary regarding portion sizes, pricing, and the intensity of spices. Although some diners have noted inconsistencies in service during busy periods or felt certain dishes lacked the bold, traditional profile they expected, the majority of visitors highlight the restaurant as a memorable gastronomic experience that is well worth visiting for both brunch and dinner.
Visited Satu Lagi for lunch & had a great experience. We ordered the chicken satay BBQ & beef satay BBQ, both of which were delicious, especially with the rich coconut peanut sauce on the side. The Jamur Jamur (BBQ oyster mushrooms) was aberate ant its best & something I wouldn't order again.
I ordered the Chili Lemak & the Chili Maple Ayam Goreng. A heads-up: the chili sauce served alongside them is insanely spicy, so use it sparingly if you're sensitive to heat! The coconut rice was an excellent pairing with everything we ordered.
For drinks, we had the pandan mango beverage. It looked beautiful but was fairly average, as I couldn't taste much pandan nor mango. The Indonesian coffee was decent. The real surprise was the laksa-it was excellent & one of the highlights of the meal.
The restaurant has a great vibe, is spotless, & the service was top-notch throughout our visit. As far as I know, it's probably the only Indonesian restaurant in town, & it's definitely worth checking out if you're craving Indonesian flavors.
Absolutely delicious. We went for dinner & did the chef's tasting menu. Everything was fresh, interesting, tasty, & most importantly 100% gluten free. The cocktails were well balanced & yummy, we tried a few. The fried chicken was a standout as well as the creme brulee. We will definitely be back next time we are in the city. If you are gluten free you don't want to miss this spot.

Quelle merveilleuse découverte sur l'avenue Mont-Royal. Tout était absolument délicieux & parfaitement présenté.
Nous avons adoré la variété des plats partagés, particulièrement les brochettes savoureuses servies avec leurs petites sauces d'accompagnement. La vaisselle est magnifique, tout comme le petit logo en forme de main sur les verres à vin, une touche très originale. Une soirée mémorable que nous avons hâte de répéter.
Incredible service & food! It is a completely dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but the quality of the food was that of an exceptional regular restaurant. A must try spot for celiacs in Montreal!
Used to be better! They keep changing the menu options, & now the portions per price just aren't worth it, & some of my favourite options are no longer available. Their coconut rice also does not taste at all like coconut. Watery cocktails too
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.
Edit: en fait, c'est le impression différente autre temps...le service & cusine était vraiment excellent lorsque le propriétaire était présent, mais sans lui, le service est mauvais & cusine est juste ok...je pense que lorsque les choses deviennent trop chaotiques, il doit être difficile pour eux de suivre le rythme
Les verres étaient sales & quand j'ai demandé à ce qu'on me les change, la serveuse a froncé les sourcils comme si j'étais une cliente difficile… service est mal
