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.

Good service & good food overall. The place is not very big , but it is nice. Is a BYOW / BYOB ( bring your own wine ) restaurant. Prices are decent as well, not expensive. Dishes are small & can be easily shared. Verdict : give it a try.

Everything we tried was delicious, especially the tau huu tod & the Sai oua meatballs! Really nice cozy set up with lots of smaller rooms & nice decor. & if the Pandan crème brûlée is on the menu, don't question, just get it & enjoy. An excellent dinner treat!

We went as a group of 6! We were suggested the tasting menu & it was amazing from start to finish. The meatballs & sauce were to die for, the crispy rice also really good, & the surprise dessert was top notch. As a Vietnamese person, this Lao restaurant made me question whether It is better than all Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal. Service was also very amicable & responsive! Def recommended!
