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!"

Review Summary

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.

Cute resto right next to the Charlevoix metro, it looks smaller than it seems. There are different types of seating & in the summer you can sit outside. We tried different soup dishes, brochettes, meatballs. Tasty dishes ressembling other southern asia areas.

Première expérience alors nous avons pris le menu dégustation & fameuse boulettes. Tout était très bon mais nous avons trouvé le service rapide. Nous ne savions pas que la coutume veux que tous les plats arrivent en même temps. Nous y retournerons sûrement c'était délicieux.

Menu dégustation intéressant, en particulier pour les petites brochettes de poulet, les nems & la soupe. La mini crème brûlée à la menthe est aussi succulente.
Malheureusement le resto est exigu & compte trop peu de tables. Surtout des places au comptoir.
