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!"

Sep Lai is widely celebrated as a cozy, welcoming neighbourhood gem conveniently located near the Charlevoix metro, known for its authentic Laotian cuisine and delightful atmosphere. Many visitors highlight the fresh, flavourful sharing plates, particularly the tasting menu, papaya salad, and signature soups, along with excellent vegan and gluten-free options that cater to various dietary needs. The charming backyard terrace serves as a standout feature for summer dining, offering a peaceful and beautiful setting. While experiences regarding service and seasoning occasionally vary, the majority of guests appreciate the friendly, attentive staff and the added value of the bring-your-own-wine policy, making it a frequently recommended spot for dates, group gatherings, and family meals.

Delicious food & reasonable!! Definitely, we'll go back again🩷

Update: The first time I absolutely loved everything I ate & gave 5 stars but recently I went back expecting the same experience I had i. the last visit. However this time everything we ordered was quite salty. Not sure if they changed the menu or we ordered different plates but I was a bit disappointed🥹 My friends seemed to be enjoying their meals.

Really good food & such a cute place! The only downside was that the wait between each service was quite long (from getting our menus, to between courses, & even waiting a long while to pay) which felt a bit frustrating at times. That said, our server was really nice, & overall I would recommend & would go back!
