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 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.

We went as a group of eight & we were served the group menu (a kind of a tasting menu). The food was delicious & fresh. Very personal approach. They even checked if we have any dietary restrictions & were willing to accommodate accordingly. The food kept on flowing & the atmosphere was nice, warm, & homey. Thank you. BTW, do not forget to BYOW.

Sep Lai is a charming neighbourhood restaurant. It serves delicious Laotian dishes. The spring rolls, soups & unique salads are really delicious. I also love the Lap au ceviche. If you're looking for something different & inexpensive to eat, Sep Lai is the place! It is a "bring your own wine" restaurant that is conveniently located right across the Charlevoix metro station. Gluten free & vegan options are indicated on the menu.

Very good food but expect to pay a high price. Ordered for take out an portions were significantly small (i.e. $75 of food was not enough for 2 adults).
