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!"

Sep Lai is widely celebrated as a cozy, welcoming neighbourhood gem conveniently located near the Charlevoix metro, known for its authentic Laotian cuisine and delightful atmosphere. Many visitors highlight the fresh, flavourful sharing plates, particularly the tasting menu, papaya salad, and signature soups, along with excellent vegan and gluten-free options that cater to various dietary needs. The charming backyard terrace serves as a standout feature for summer dining, offering a peaceful and beautiful setting.

Honestly I really want to like it so badly, I even went second time & ordered completely different dishes. But everything is great except the food. It's overly salty, we had to rinse the vegetables in order to be able to eat it.

The flavour is flat, we tasted more of the fish paste & saltiness than the mix of flavours that were described in the menu. Perhaps that's how Lao food is like & we might have the wrong expectation.

Unfortunately would not recommend this restaurant for food flavour.

As a vegetarian, I hadn't been able to try much Laotian cuisine before, but Sep Lai had SO many choices for me. We tried several sharing plates & all were delicious. The vegan meatballs were the best I've ever had & my partner (not vegetarian) said they tasted better than meat. I highly recommend this place!

Nous avons adoré notre expérience chez Sep Lai! Nous avons choisi le menu dégustation & nous n'avons absolument pas été déçus. Chaque plat était frais, coloré, savoureux & magnifiquement présenté. Les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous du début à la fin. La cour arrière est magnifique 🌱.

Mention spéciale aux desserts : mon fils a tellement aimé la crème brûlée qu'il en a même commandé une deuxième!

Le service était chaleureux & attentionné, & toute la famille a passé un excellent moment. Nous reviendrons avec plaisi

Nous avons fait remarquer à la serveuse que les portions de riz étaient insuffisantes, & elle s'est énervée. En résumé, le service laisse à désirer, les portions sont petites & le goût est tout à fait moyen, sans plus. La salade est fraîche. Les prix sont excessifs compte tenu de la qualité & de la quantité.
