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!"

La bouffe est super, la soupe au cari rouge & les boulettes sont un "must". L'environnement est relax & confortable, & génial que c'est un apportez-votre-vin. Je recommande fortement !

Délicieux. Je recommande fortement la soupe de cari rouge, le met le plus savoureux. & pour terminer le repas en beauté la crême brûlée au pandan vaut le détour.

All three dishes we wondered were fantastic. The Curries soup with noodles, vegetarian meatball & the lettuce wraps with pork. Highly recommend- amazing flavour profiles.

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.

Visite avec ma fille pour un souper de semaine. C'était vraiment bon! Tant moi que ma fille avons beaucoup apprécié. Beau décor à l'arrière. Calculer environ 35$ par personne, plus apportez votre vin 😉

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.

Sep Lai is a charming neighbourhood restaurant. It serves delicious Laotian dishes. The spring rolls, soups & unique salads are really delicious. I also love the Lap au ceviche. If you're looking for something different & inexpensive to eat, Sep Lai is the place! It is a "bring your own wine" restaurant that is conveniently located right across the Charlevoix metro station. Gluten free & vegan options are indicated on the menu.
