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!"

Nous avons visité ce petit restaurant à plusieurs reprises, & à chaque fois, c'est toujours la même qualité, la même ambiance, pour un prix très abordable. Le menu est simple mais tout ce qu'on y trouve est de qualité. La terrasse à l'arrière est vraiment superbe & la déco générale à l'intérieur est trèscoquette également. Il s'agit de spécialités laotiennes, mais rien de trop extravagant pour le néophyte. Bref, nous recommandons. En plus, c'est un apportez votre vin, mais on n'y trouve plusieurs options sans alcool au menu pas très cher, & également de qualité.

They have a very cute yard. We didn't sit in the yard because it was supposed to rain but we checked it out after. It was really cute. The food was good. I liked the soup with meat & noodle better (the non creamy one). The beef skewer was good too. Not a big fan of the steam sticky rice tho. Overall we had a good time there!

The food was delicious & the service was prompt & helpful, the decor was great, my only gripe is that the prices for the appetizers on the printed menu were not the same as what was written online, they were $1 more.

Un de mes restaurants préférés à Montréal, j'ai l'impression de retrouver la cuisine de ma Maman. J'adore faire découvrir la cuisine laotienne à mes amis & cette place est l'endroit parfaite !

Malheureusement très déçu… pourtant tout semblait promettre le contraire. Le lieu est vraiment cute, avec la petite terrasse, le restaurant est magnifique !
Nous n'avions pas réservé & nous étions pressés, donc on nous a placé à une table que nous devions libérer pour 19h30.
Installé à 18h40, commande passée à 18h45 & le premier plat est arrivé à 19h40.
Donc je ne sais pas si le fait d'avoir une longue attente & donc d'être en retard a gâché mon expérience & donc biaisé mes sensations mais j'ai trouvé que dans l'ensemble les plats manquaient vraiment de saveur.
À noter quand même le geste commercial de la serveuse pour l'attente. Je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux au vu des notes, je n'y retournerais pas.
