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.

Went out for dinner at Sep Lai for Valentine's Day & it was absolutely perfect! Beautiful spot in Montreal that seems small from the outside but has so much space inside that really surprised me how it could be so busy but also so intimate & felt like there was nobody else there!
The food was absolutely delicious!! The portion sizes are fairly big so you definitely get your money's worth in your order. You can tell the portions are perfect for sharing which is amazing because if you're with a group or even just one other person you can try a variety of the stuff they offer & from my experience it was all perfect!
The staff was amazing & treated us so well! They gave perfect recommendations & were always there for any questions I had about some of the foods!
Also huge shout out to Tat for helping us & helping navigate allergies that we had!
