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!"

Best little local restaurant! The food is always great & … Bring your own wine? What could be better. We can try a new combo of tapas plates every time we go. We always leave more than delighted.
Been many times for group menus & events as well- they have a perfect set up.

Nous avons choisi plusieurs plats que nous avons partagé.
On y allait pour goûter aux boulettes au porc faites à l'émission Curieux Bégin. Elles étaient bonnes.
La soupe Khao Poon au cari rouge & lait de coco est vraiment délicieuse, ça vaut le détour. Le Nem Khao, est très bon, on se fait un petit wrap avec de la laitue.
Note: il y a plusieurs entrées & sorties du restaurant à cause des commandes à emporter. Des courants d'air froid nous frôlent dans le restaurant.

Un petit bijou caché à PSC! Nous étions un groupe de 6 personnes & nous avons eu une expérience incroyable dans ce restaurant. Les assiettes ont un concept un peu particulier : ils sont normalement faits à partager entre tous, comme dans un repas familial. Tout était vraiment délicieux & frais. Mes coups de coeur : la soupe khao poon & la crème brûlée. On n'a pas commandé le menu dégustation, mais je vais sûrement y retourner & l'essayer.
