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!"

Incredible Christmas event space offering mouthwatering food, great service & beautiful decorations. Sep Lai accommodated our work group of 16 with ease. The group had nothing but high praise & already can't wait to go back with their partners & friends. This is a true Montreal gem!

Sep Lai serves delicious food, prepared with fresh ingredients. Our favourite appetizers are Rouleau fromage, rouleau printanier & soup Khao Poon. For main course we love Kua Mee, Brochettes de Filet mignon, Nem Khao & Calmar Frit Tom Yum. Their Salade de Mangue is absolutely delicious. What makes this place unique is the fact that you can chose the protein you like that will be added to your dish. Because of this flexibility the restaurant is able to cater to people with allergies. Sep Lai is a bring-your-own-wine restaurant that is conveniently located across the street from the Charlevoix Metro Station. This is a perfect place for dining as a group because you can share & taste different dishes.
