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!"

My new favorite! The vegan food was phenomenal, & they even made a gluten-free vegan tasting menu which was out of this world. Absolutely incredible michelin star worthy experience for us! Also love that it's BYOB so we don't need to spend an arm & a leg on drinks

Ambiance magnifique, des petites salles séparées avec un couple de tables chaque, très intime, impeccablement décorées. La musique toujours au juste volume pour pouvoir chuchoter & se faire entendre & une playlist très amusante. La bouffe, spectaculaire, j'ai spécialement aimé les petits morceaux de porc frit, le riz glutineux & la crème brûlée au Pandan. Le service a été très bon.
