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. While experiences with service speeds and dish seasoning can vary, many diners value the thoughtful, friendly staff and the convenience of the bring-your-own-wine policy, making it a popular destination for casual gatherings and group events.

J'y suis allée quelques fois & chaque fois c'était délicieux! Les plats sont très savoureux & gouteux. J'ai fait une réservation de groupe, & nous avions la salle pour nous. Très cute, & le service 10/10!!! Le menu de groupe vaut vraiment la peine & tout le monde a adoré. Ils ont aussi porté une attention particulière pour les allergies. Je recommande fortement !

We were a group of four & had the degustation menu. The food was delicious, except the chicken salad. It was the only item that was disappointing, either we got a bad one or it's just too plain. The beef brochettes were exceptional. The service was great once it started, the first 30 minutes we had had someone open our wine bottle & then nothing for a bit too long.

I enjoyed eating here. The service was a bit slow in my opinion but I think is due to the fact that they have three different areas not counting the outside bit so they might just be slow since they have to be attentive to so many areas. The tofu with tamarind chilli sauce was incredible. My fave if I have to pick & I loved their matcha creme Brule. Also their mocktails are super affordable & yummy, I had the pinapple pina colada. Super affordable process. Our bill was ~$105. We had 5 plates to share plus three mocktails. So it was $35 each, super good for a nice & unique dinner out.

If you happen to be near Charlevoix metro station in cool weather, going to Sep Lai restaurant & having hot soup will be your best decision. I will definitely come back here again! Thank you:)

Petit resto de quartier, simple & efficace avec l'avantage d'être BYOB. Resto tranquille mais possibilité d'avoir une salle fermée parfaite pour les groupes. J'étais là pour mon anniversaire & on était pas mal loud. La nourriture est très bonne (j'ai adoré les boulettes sai oua & le laab). Certains plats manquaient un peu d'herbes/lime à mon goût mais tout était bien savoureux. Pour le côté épicé, il faut le demander sinon la plupart des plats sont préparés assez doux. Le service était ultra chaleureux! Je recommande à tous pour un bon repas laotien! Merci encore!

What a fabulous restaurant! The atmosphere & service was great, & to top it off the food was fantastic. The flavor profiles were exquisite, & if you like fried calamari, it is a must try, it was some of the best that I've ever tried!

Loved the food! Has so many different dishes you can get & share. Some classics but are still made differently or have a different twist. Cute spot, bring your own wine, can't go wrong!
