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!"

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.

Great food, cozy ambiance, & amazing staff! The fried calamari are to die for! You can also bring your own wine by getting it from the Bodega next door!

Jai adorée les salades. Meme goût que la thailand & Cambodge le service était a la perfection. Le seul bémol, les aile de poulet un peu trop salé a mon goût mais je conseil cet endroit tous en face du metro charlevoix facile de s y rendre.

Tous (neuf personnes) ont apprécié! Plus de variations au menu nous y attireraient plus souvent.

Merci bien!

Petit resto accueillant, en tout simplicité. Nourriture correcte, belle saveur, mais il aurait pu avoir un petit quelque chose de plus. Bon service, par contre on aurait apprécié être informés qu'il avait un autre choix qui était pas au menu, nous l'avons entendu plus tard dans la soirée, quand la serveuse l'a indiqué à la table d'a coté.

Sep Lai serves great food. We just love Kua Mee, Nem Khao, Calmar Frit Tom Yum, their wonderful soups & of course the rouleau Printanier & rouleau fromage. I love their salad dishes as well. Our guests are very happy to have been introduced to Sep Lai. Sep Lai is a "bring your own wine" restaurant & it is conveniently located across the street from the Charlevoix Metro station.

I love this restaurant. The food & service are exceptional & their terrasse is so lovely. I've been for a small dinner with a friend & also held a birthday party with 15 people there. Both experiences were excellent!!
