About

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!"

Review Summary

Sep Lai is widely appreciated as a cozy, welcoming gem in the neighborhood, celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Laotian cuisine. Many guests enjoy the intimate atmosphere and the beautiful backyard terrace, which provides a perfect setting for sharing a variety of fresh, well-presented dishes. The tasting menu is frequently highlighted as a fantastic way to explore the diverse textures and bold, aromatic spices of the food, with popular items including the Khao Poon soup, crispy Nem Khao, and the pandan crème brûlée. While experiences with service speeds and dish seasoning can vary, many diners value the thoughtful, friendly staff and the convenience of the bring-your-own-wine policy, making it a popular destination for casual gatherings and group events.

Honestly I really want to like it so badly, I even went second time & ordered completely different dishes. But everything is great except the food. It's overly salty, we had to rinse the vegetables in order to be able to eat it.

The flavour is flat, we tasted more of the fish paste & saltiness than the mix of flavours that were described in the menu. Perhaps that's how Lao food is like & we might have the wrong expectation.

Unfortunately would not recommend this restaurant for food flavour.

As a vegetarian, I hadn't been able to try much Laotian cuisine before, but Sep Lai had SO many choices for me. We tried several sharing plates & all were delicious. The vegan meatballs were the best I've ever had & my partner (not vegetarian) said they tasted better than meat. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Tons of gluten free options. The sharing platter is highly recommended you get to try a bit of everything. The patio is super nice with sturdy tables & much bigger than you would expect. They are only open for a few hours each day so I suggest you reserve.

Cute little restaurant next to canal Lachine. Great for summer days because of their terrace.

We had the discovery menu at 52$ per person which gets served in 3 setting. I really liked the appetizers & dessert but some of the main dish had too much onions in it. (for my taste)
I also got the Pina colada which was great.(not too sweet)

I recommend this place to you if you are in the point saint charles area & would like to try something new!

Délicieux restaurant, j'ai essayé le kua mee avec extra champignons avec un pudding de taro au tapioca & j'ai adoré! Il y a une jolie terasse que j'y irais bien quand il fera plus chaud. Je recommande de réserver si vous êtes 2 & plus

Plusieurs fois que je viens ici & c'est toujours un plaisir ! Des petits plats à partager, ce qui donne forcément une ambiance conviviale. Je vous recommande les boulettes beyond meat !
Si jamais la terrasse est très agréable en été.
