About us
Sabaidee! Welcome to Sep Lai! We serve traditional Laotian food using many local ingredients to create unique and authentic dishes. As is the norm in Laos, all our dishes are made to be shared! Although you may find similarities with other Southeast Asian dishes such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, Lao cuisine is a distinct cuisine with its own complex and exciting flavors. Full of fresh herbs, raw vegetables, flavorful meats and always accompanied by a basket of sticky rice, we are proud to share this cuisine with everyone, including vegans, vegetarians and those sensitive to gluten! We hope that the dishes of our parents and grandparents will inspire you with the same comfort and joy as they do us, and that you will exclaim: "Sep lai! It was delicious!"

the most incredible vegan options, I had the khao poon & green mango salad. I'll be dreaming about your food for a long time :)

Nous avons choisi plusieurs plats que nous avons partagé.
On y allait pour goûter aux boulettes au porc faites à l'émission Curieux Bégin. Elles étaient bonnes.
La soupe Khao Poon au cari rouge & lait de coco est vraiment délicieuse, ça vaut le détour. Le Nem Khao, est très bon, on se fait un petit wrap avec de la laitue.
Note: il y a plusieurs entrées & sorties du restaurant à cause des commandes à emporter. Des courants d'air froid nous frôlent dans le restaurant.

Un petit bijou caché à PSC! Nous étions un groupe de 6 personnes & nous avons eu une expérience incroyable dans ce restaurant. Les assiettes ont un concept un peu particulier : ils sont normalement faits à partager entre tous, comme dans un repas familial. Tout était vraiment délicieux & frais. Mes coups de coeur : la soupe khao poon & la crème brûlée. On n'a pas commandé le menu dégustation, mais je vais sûrement y retourner & l'essayer.

Les plats n'ont pas été réussis hier soir. Le khao poon était trop salée & le laap, trop acide. Prix excessif pour la portion de riz collant. Pour nous qui mangeons régulièrement des plats laotiens, c'était une déception.

We were really looking forward to trying Sep Lai for authentic Lao food, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Every dish we ordered was dominated by an overwhelming artificial lime flavor that tasted anything but authentic.
The sai oua (Lao sausage) was far too salty, & both the papaya salad & mango salad were nearly inedible. The nem khao & laab gai (chicken) didn't fare any better. In fact, we barely finished the dishes we ordered - which says a lot.
When a place advertises as authentic, you expect freshness & balance, but this was the opposite. I do not recommend Sep Lai & will not be back.

Unassuming & deceptively large BYOB Laotian restaurant definitely delivers! Must try-dishes: Nem Khao, pork Sai Qua meatballs & crispy chicken skin Nang Kai Tod. The dishes were large enough to be shareable. We were stuffed by dessert rolled around! For dessert, the pandan creme brulée was light, creamy & delicious! Would definitely return & take advantage of the backyard terrasse before summer's end! If you happen to forget your wine like we did, there is a lovely beer & wine store across the street from the restaurant on rue Charlevoix (Beau Dégât, bièrerie de quartier) that offered great wine pairings with our meal.

We were group of 11 so we had the tasting menu. Service was quite good. The food was very tasty, although the warm dishes, especially the Nem Khao, were very salty. The soup was amazing.

this place offers the Laotian food. We ordered papaya salad, nem khao, kua mee, fried chicken skin. I love fried chicken skin, crispy & a bit salty. Very hard to find here. I wish the papaya salad would be more sep, its still not hit. Kua mee & Nem khao is good tho. When we went there, it was only one serveuse so the service was really slow.
But the serveuse is really friendly & attentive.

cute BYOB spot! im a fan of south east asian cuisine & the vegan meatballs were really good & the nem khao was perfect. The Kua Mee dish could use some more flavor because i felt like the noodles were bland, but overall it's a cute place. 10/10 for the service because I accidentally left without my purse & they called later to notify me :) can't thank enough!

This place is a gem! It's my second time here in the last month, & I'll go back before I leave for sure! The food is incredible, the service is outstanding, the prices are decent, the place looks beautiful (especially the terrace in the back) & it's a bring your own wine. The hostess, Elsa, was so welcoming & caring. She even brought us blankets in case we were cold at the terrace because it was a cold evening. If you are not sure what to order, they have a tasting menu with many different items & the quantities are perfect. I also strongly recommend the Khao Poon, the meatballs & the calamari!

Très jolie terrasse arrière, belle ambiance avec un apportez votre vin. Le tofu frit, l'assiette de légumes & le Nem Khao étaient supers ! La salade de papaye avait un goût assez fort de poisson & de sel, notre palais d'occidental n'y est pas très habitué. Excellent rapport qualité prix

Pour un souper improvisé, mon copain & moi avons super bien mangé à Sep Lai! Le service d'Elsa était impeccable � Nous nous sommes assis dans la section terrasse, qui était vraiment trop mignon! Nous allons y retourner avec des amis prochainement 💕 (Note: SVP mettre le khao piek au menu du resto 👀)

Notre restaurant préféré! Depuis plus d'un an & demi maintenant, nous allons près de deux fois par mois au Sep Lai. Nous y avons également apportez tous nos amis. Service, nourriture & ambiance incroyable! Par ailleurs, nous y sommes allé hier en soirée... Nous prenons toujours les mêmes assiettes, fidèle à nos habitudes nous avons prit la même chose. Lorsque les assiettes sont arrivées (surtout le Kua Mee), nous avons été terriblement déçus. Il n'y avait pas de sauce, un oeuf cuit dure, quelque carotte & du chou. Ensuite, (mon copain est végétarien) le Nem Khao était au porc & lorsque l'assiette est revenu au tofu suite à l'erreur, il restait des morceaux de porc dans l'assiette... & en finale, un court cheveux brun a été retrouvé dans la salade Laap. Définitivement, une drôle d'expérience à notre restaurant préféré!

Un superbe resto! Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous y allons, & l'expérience est bonne à chaque fois. Ils ont une jolie terrasse & tout est bon sur leur menu. Je recommande fortement les boulette Sai Oua ou la soupe Khao Poon.

Sep Lai serves delicious food, prepared with fresh ingredients. Our favourite appetizers are Rouleau fromage, rouleau printanier & soup Khao Poon. For main course we love Kua Mee, Brochettes de Filet mignon, Nem Khao & Calmar Frit Tom Yum. Their Salade de Mangue is absolutely delicious. What makes this place unique is the fact that you can chose the protein you like that will be added to your dish. Because of this flexibility the restaurant is able to cater to people with allergies. Sep Lai is a bring-your-own-wine restaurant that is conveniently located across the street from the Charlevoix Metro Station. This is a perfect place for dining as a group because you can share & taste different dishes.

Sep Lai serves great food. We just love Kua Mee, Nem Khao, Calmar Frit Tom Yum, their wonderful soups & of course the rouleau Printanier & rouleau fromage. I love their salad dishes as well. Our guests are very happy to have been introduced to Sep Lai. Sep Lai is a "bring your own wine" restaurant & it is conveniently located across the street from the Charlevoix Metro station.

We absolutely love the food at Sep Lai. It is made with fresh ingredients to order. It is especially convenient if you have any dietary issues. The menu is quite unique & refreshing. The salads are really delicious. One of the new items on the menu is a mango salad. It is light & refreshing & very different. I just love it. Sep Lai has so many dishes that we love. Calmar Frit Tom Yum is the best we've ever tasted. Each time we visit the restaurant we order Rouleau printanier & Rouleau fromage. Both are absolutely delicious! We also love Kua Mee & Nem Khao. On cooler days we love their soups, They're amazing. Sep Lai is a bring-your-own wine restaurant & it has a charming patio in the back of the building. It is conveniently located across the street from the Charlevoix metro station.

Bonne cuisine Thaïlandaise - présentation un peu sommaire- Nem Khao un peu quelconque- boulettes très très bonnes & goûtues- les plats un peu trop salés en général, comme l'addition qui est un cran au dessus de la qualité.
