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!"

Our Specialties

Spring rolls, Imperial rolls, Khao Poon soup, Papaya salad, Laap, Som Pak, Lao burger & Winter melon noodle soup.

Review Summary

Sep Lai is a charming Laotian spot where sharing plates and aromatic notes of citronella, coriander and ginger set a travel inspired mood, especially on the cozy back terrace. Dishes like khao poon, nem khao, laap and a fragrant coconut curry showcase fresh ingredients, generous portions and good value, with many noting the option to bring your own wine adds to the relaxed vibe. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, with friendly service that suits dinners, dates and groups alike, and the terrace is a favourite in nicer weather. Occasional comments mention saltier preparations or slower service when busy, but the overall experience is consistently praised for tasty, well balanced flavors and a welcoming neighbourhood feel that invites return.

Good food! Nice sized serving for the taster's sampler. Crispy rice was the best dish! I would recommend you try the taster's sampler to get to know the different dishes.

Third time I come here! Love the place
This time, though, it felt a little off? Egg was overcooked, noodles were all clumped together, there wasn't much rice in our sticky rice bag. Maybe it's because some of the staff was on vacation? Will definitively be back. We liked it nonetheless!

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.
