Great food.
Great service.
Great vibes.
Will return for sure. Good job guys.
Excellent food!!! But it's on pricier side & the portion is more like tapas. Nonetheless, i will sure be back.
Je n’y ai jamais mangé, mais une personne de confiance m’a dit que c’est ben ben bon.
One of the very few (if not only) Indonesian inspired restaurants in Montreal, Satu Lagu was a nice place to enjoy Asian style food but of a particular savor that you would not normally be accustomed too...it's certainly not Chinese, nor Vietnamese (although closer to the latter than the former) with a lighter set of flavors & with an emphasis on umami-like essences.
Located on Mont-Royal East, the décor of the restaurant is clean, bright with hints of the cuisines' cultural roots (monkey light fixtures, rattan ceiling details, etc...) while the meal service is more tapas style than anything else. For our meal we asked our server (a very friendly & helpful Juliette) for the best-of options & went from there. We had the Ayam Goreng (plain & Manis (which is very spicy)...essentially fried chicken drumsticks but with an excellent batter), Belacan Satay (simple chicken skewers with a gritty shrimp flavored peanut sauce...good), Tauhu Telur Asin (a fried tofu dish...excellent), Kailan (a spinach/broccoli style dish with oyster sauce flavoring...good) & the House (Jasmin) Rice with Coconut flavoring (very good). For dessert we had a surprisingly excellent Pandan Creme Brule...very, very good. Finally, we paired the meal with a surprisingly appropriate beer called Doux Bisous which had a light citrus flavor & really worked well with this style of cuisine.
The food portions were on the smaller side (like tapas) however the service was done one dish at a time with the rice at the end. This was not how we eat typical meals as we prefer rice to be included & used as a base for the dish. We didn't realize this until the end but, now that we know we would have asked for the dishes to be served in quick sequence & especially for the rice to be brought earlier.
Service was very good &, as mentioned, our server was knowledgeable & helpful. Tired of the same-old Chinese & Vietnamese dishes then certainly give Satu Lagi a try. Enjoy!
Was really excited to try this place, planned the Montreal trip also around it. Was a bit disappointed. Not that the food wasn't good, but it just wasn't anything special for the price. The service, atmosphere & overall maintenance was great but they could up their game with the variety on food. The cocktail was also good (Paradin Rice). We had the Satay Daging (beef) & marinated Calamari. We also tried the Fried chicken.
Excellent À essayer absolument. Ça donne le goût de visiter l’Indonesie ! 🤩
The cocktails & food were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a dairy-free dessert, too. Don't hesitate to try it out!
Wonderful new restaurant. Eating Indonesian food this good made me a little homesick. Both cocktails & mocktails were excellent.
Only missing dish was sambal goreng boncis ;) Oh, & sambal badjak. Now hoping they will also open for lunch…
Told a friend I wasn't into Indonesian food & had been to Bali, he told me I didn't have good Indonesian food & brought me here & it changed my mind.
Everything we had was delicious! The drinks are yummy too & are made from someone off a food Netflix show. Most things have a little heat (spice to it) but not unreasonably so. Everything was tasty & tender. The tofu was awesome, never had that before.
Great food, lovely staff & a beautiful ambience! Cocktails were delicious & unique.
